Venice - located in Northern Italy, the capital of the Veneto area. The name of the city and the area comes from the Veneto tribes that settled in this area in Roman times. Venice is well known as one of the most beautiful and romantic cities in the world. It consists from 117 small islands in the Laguna Veneta which is local name for Venetian lagoon on the Adriatic coast. Venice and its canals are on UNESCO’s World Heritage List. The city has many nicknames such as "Serenissima", "Queen of the Adriatic", "Bride of the Sea", "City of Bridges" and "Water City".
