Abstract
Description
A photo taken at the docks of the main island of Venice, Italy. Venice (in Italian: Venezia) is a city in northeastern Italy that is built on a group of 126 islands separated by open water and canals, linked through 472 bridges. The historical island city is home to only 51K people, but a very popular tourist destination with about 60K tourists per day. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, it is renowned for its beauty, architecture, and artwork. The wooden docks in the photo are for individual ferries that head to different islands, such as Murano.
