Venice is world-famous for its canals, but walking around the
backstreets is what Venice is really about. It is built on an archipelago of 122 islands formed
by about 150 canals in a shallow lagoon. The islands on which the city is built are connected
by about 400 bridges. Transportation within the city remains, as it was in centuries past,
entirely on water or on foot. In the old center, the canals serve the function of roads, and
every form of transport is on water or on foot.
The "Bridge of Sighs". This bridge led to a dungeon
where few ever left.
