Venice is one of the most beautiful cities of the world. Venice is a cultural and tourist center and is famous for its museums, architecture, cityscape and world of art.
Only about 25 % of Venice’s 280, 000 people live in the historical center of the city. 36 The main method of transportation between the islands is by taking boats that travel up and down the city’s many canals. The main waterway is the Grand Canal, which winds through the heart of Venice. Hundreds of bridges connect the island.
37 The city’s most famous church, Saint Mark’s Basilica, and the Doge’s Palace which was the home of Venice’s rulers for hundreds of years, are the main attractions of the piazza. The square is a famous tourist attraction surrounded by cafes and vendor.
East of the historical center on the outer part of the lagoon (环礁湖) is Lido, a 10km long sandy island. 38 The Venice Film Festival is one of the major annual film events that take place there.
The location of the city at sea level and global warming have caused many problems for Venice. 39 From November to February they cause a situation in which sea level rises up to one and a half meters and cover many of Venice’s famous areas.
Salt water from the sea has damaged the foundations of many buildings and constant repairs are necessary. 40 Industries and tourism have steadily reduced the level of ground water in Venice, making foundations of building unstable.
