All About Venice
Venice is built on 118 small islands in a lagoon and has canals instead of roads.
There are no cars in the centre of Venice, travel is only by boat. The famous, yet funny shaped, boat is called a “gondola”.
Venice has lots of very impressive bridges.
There are nearly 400 bridges crossing the canals. This one is called The Rialto Bridge.
Every year Venice holds a carnival which starts 40 days before Easter and ends on Shrove Tuesday.
The Carnival in Venice is famous, and everyone dresses up in masks and 18th century costume.http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-12681019
