Time to see Venice! Venice is by many called the most beautiful city in the world. We went here by boat. You could also go there by car but according to our guide you are suppose to go by boat.







We set foot on the land and went into the harbour of Venice after a trip of about half an hour.



On our way to Piazza San Marco we saw The Bridge of Sighs. This bridge passes over the Rio di Palazzo and connects the old prisons to the interrogation rooms of the Doge's Palace. It got it's name because the prisoner got a last look at Venice and their loved one from the brigde before there inprisonment or death and used to sigh there.



On the Piazza San Marco stands the Basilica di San Marco a Venezia.









There also stand two poles on the Piazza San Marco. No inhabitant of Venice would ever stand between those two poles, because people used to get excecuted their. Gulp!



On the left pole stands a lion. The lion is the animal of Venice.



We went for a walk around the city. The first thing we saw was the second most famous bridge, the Rialto Bridge. It's the oldest bridge in the city and build in 1181.



We had the most wonderfull view from the bridge!





We walked on and saw some beautiful sights.









Then we came across the only wooden bridge in the city: Accademia Bridge.





But sightseeing was the only thing we did, we also did some shopping! We saw a great toystore again, this was a Disney store!





Venice stretches over 118 little islands. It has a population of 271.251 people. People have lived on the islands for centuries but it is known as a city since the ninth century.
