You get all wet at Venice

Venice, a romantic city in the northen Italy, you will really get wet at this place. Venice is world-famous for its canals. The transportation within the city remains, as it was in centuries past, entirely on water or on foot. The classical Venetian boat is the gondola, although it is now mostly used for tourists, or for weddings.

But with global warming, Venice has suffered its worst flooding in 22 years, leaving some parts of the historic Italian city neck-deep in water. Venice, built around a network of canals and small islands, has for years been trying to tackle the problem of floods that have regularly blighted the city. In 2007, the United Nations cultural organization UNESCO warned Venice -- a designated World Heritage Site -- is under threat from rising sea levels caused by climate change.

Vaporetto (water bus) is the most amazing method of getting around Venice; you won’t find too many public transport routes as unforgettable as vaporetto. Get yourself a travel pass to ride the exclusive vaporetto - single tickets don't come cheap, and are less economical if you plan to spend days touring Venice and exploring every nook and cranny.
