Venice is situated in northern Italy on the Adriatic Sea and offers a great range of opportunities for the vacations. The namesake of this landscape is Venice, the capital of the province of Venice and the Venice region. Known as "the pearl of the Adriatic" it is situated directly in the lagoon of Venice and was built about 1000 years ago on approximately 150 small islands and today this unique city, therefore, is falling under threat. The narrow channels and countless small bridges turn the capital of the Venice into a true pedestrian paradise. Visiting this interesting city with its countless sights should not be avoided during the holiday in the northern Italy. The variety of landscapes in Venice is unbelievable. The area extends from the high mountains (Marmolata 3342m) of the huge and bizarre mountain massifs of the Dolomites region with glaciers to deep and mysterious lakes such as Lake Misurina and over the mountain villages in the Val di Cadore in Belluno. Because of the winter sports the world-famous village of Cortina d'Ampezzo is also a popular tourist destination. You can also enjoy the Venetian countryside with its unique and rich historical past.
The famous lake stretches in the west of Venice and attracts streams of tourists every year. Also in the south the landscape of Venice has a lot to offer. At the foot of the Euganean hills in the south of Padua are located the natural hot springs and Montegrotto Albano, which have been used in Roman times. Moving further to the south down to the Adriatic Rovigo you will find the very rich ruins and villas which prove the richness of the Roman period. Not only Venice but also such cities as Verona and Vicenza offer interesting experience.
