treasure. Since the end of the eighteenth century, tourism has been a major part
of the city economy.

Venice is not just for Lovers. Venice was loaded with tourists from around the world, and it was crowded, but we felt it was a must-see city. We strolled the canals, engaged in conversation with other English speaking folks, window shopped, did lots of bargaining on the few purchases of must have touristy stuff, took a zillion photos, people watched, and at the end of our day worried about getting on the right train going in the right direction so we might return in a timely manner to Padua. All in all this was a once in a lifetime experience we can now laugh about and cherish our experience. |
