Trip.com's Venice City Guide offers the best personalized guide to Venice. With hundreds of water canals, 17th century stone building on top of boat garages, narrow cobblestone streets and nary a car in sight, Venice is without a doubt one of the most enthralling cities in the world. Built on 117 islands, this Italian city was once a major center for trade and military power. While the full-time population has shrunk to around 60,000, the historic island sees 50 times that number in annual visitors. Venice centers around the attraction of St. Mark’s Square, a large piazza where seagulls and tourists jostle for space (especially come July and August). The piazza's basilica is extensive and known primarily for its extensive and lavish mosaics. Take an elevator to the top of St. Mark’s Campanile, offering 360-degree views of the city. Gondola rides have become almost synonymous with a Venetian vacation, but the vaporetto (water bus) is a less expensive option. Venice isn't known for its restaurants, but hotels along the Grand Canal are worth a splurge. Make your visit to Venice soon – this UNESCO World Heritage Site is literally sinking.
