Venice, which is situated at the north end of the Adriatic Sea, was once the richest and most powerful center of Europe for hundreds of years. The reason was that it gained a large-scale profit from the adjacent middle European markets.
Known as the ‘City of Canals’ there are many things Venice is famous for including its beautiful bridges, gondola rides, atmospheric streets, and carnival celebrations. Built over 118 islands, Venice and its lagoon is one of the most unique cities in the world.
Italy is a safe destination for solo travelers, and so is Venice. In fact, Venice is considered an especially safe place for solo travelers. With just 55,000 inhabitants who go everywhere on foot, Venice can feel like a village. Once you know a few people in the city, you’ll start to know almost everybody, and you’ll run into them every time you step out the door.
To make the islands of the Venetian lagoon fit for habitation, Venice’s early settlers needed to drain areas of the lagoon, dig canals and shore up the banks to prepare them for building on. On top of these stakes, they placed wooden platforms and then stone, and this is what the buildings of Venice are built on. Venice became rich and powerful through naval trade, as their geographical position allowed them to be the critical middleman between the Middle East and destinations throughout Europe.
Economically, tourism is the main source of income for the city. 14 million visitors come to the city every year, making it the largest tourist destination in Italy after Rome.
