5. Venice, Italy

This time, let me share the artwork city……..”Venice”……The world’s greatest and most beautiful cities of art. I really like its name, Venice….is nice...^^

Venice is a city in northeast Italy. There is renowned for the beauty of its setting, architecture and artworks. It is one of the most important tourist destinations in the world. The city has an average of 50,000 tourists a day.

There have many of the famous tourist destinations such as Piazza de San Marco, Bridge of Sighs, Grand Canal, Grand Tour and many others. But for me, the most attraction destination in Venice is The Ponte dei Sospiri (the “Bridge of Sighs”). The Bridge of Sighs is very popular bridges in Venice, Italy… which is located within walking distance of the Piazza de San Marco, links to the Doge’s Palace in Venice. The feature of the Bridge of Sighs, that houses two overlapping corridors, it used to serve as a link between the Old Prisons, in the Doge’s Palace, and the New Prisons. 

Besides that, Venice have its 150 canals, 400 bridges and  magnificent 16th- and 17th-century palaces and piazzas, it is no surprise that Venice is considered one of the most beautiful cities in the world.
