Venice, Italy is a city in the northeastern part of Italy with a wonderful historic charm and it remains virtually unchanged from what you would have seen 600 years ago. Even so, tourists have had quite a huge negative impact on the city as there is a disproportionate number of tourists to locals. The most famous area is the section of town with 118 islands, called "Sestieri." The city is easily walkable and there are very few cars (and roads for that matter) in Venice. Fans of historic architecture will love exploring Venice's treasures, whereas museum lovers will be more than happy with the large number of world-class museums found in the city. The other attractions are too numerous to list. Spring is the most beautiful time to visit Venice as the weather is typically perfect and the temperatures are fairly mild. Map
