Mysterious Venice
Venice to me has an enchanting feeling to it keeping all travelers really engulfed in its mystique past. This city built on the black lagoons, is comp letely surrounded by water which not only gives a charming character to this city but also has protected this city from invasions. Built in the 5th century this city was under Austria, France and now part of Italy. All the traffic is on foot here, no cars allowed internally. The streets are lined by shops selling the famous masks. There are astounding Palaces, Bridges, Churches, Museums lined up along the Grand canal. I was really captured by two sites Piazza San Marco and Rialto bridge. Great examples of Gothic architecture. The smaller interior canals are coupled with bridges which almost are waiting to surprise you!!
