- Gondolas are not the only means of transportation in Venezia. The city has a large fleet of brightly painted yellow ferries, which traverse the numerous waterways of the city. The boats carry only pedestrians, and they cover the city in distinct routes, much like a bus on an urban street.
- You will find no vehicles on the streets of Venice, just pedestrians. Commerce is reserved for the labyrinth of canals. Sometimes, small trucks are parked on a small barge and transported to where they need to go, but the truck never leaves the deck of the boat. The cargo is transported to a cart after it is docked.
- The main source of income for the city is from tourism. Venezia is an extremely popular place for visitors, especially in the spring and fall, when the weather is enjoyable.
- Venezia is a waterfront. There is water everywhere, and along the edge of all the canals and waterways, a stone dock has been built where the sea meets dry land. The streets are only a few feet above sea level but seldom flood.
- The Piazza San Marco is one of the most visited places in Venezia. The popular square is ringed with noteworthy buildings, and on a nice day, the open plaza is covered with small tables and chairs, where visitors can wine and dine, and enjoy the classical music ensembles that perform.
