Venice (English /ˈvɛnɪs/ VEN-iss; Italian: Venezia [veˈnɛttsja]) is a city in northeastern Italy sited on a group of 118 small islands separated by canals and linked by bridges. It is located in the marshy Venetian Lagoon which stretches along the shoreline, between the mouths of the Po and the Piave Rivers. Venice is renowned for the beauty of its setting, its architecture, and its artwork. The city in its entirety is listed as a World Heritage Site, along with its lagoon.
Venice is the capital of the Veneto region. In 2009, there were 270,098 people residing in Venice's comune (the population estimate of 272,000 inhabitants includes the population of the whole Comune of Venezia; of whom around 60,000 live in the historic city of Venice (Centro storico); 176,000 in Terraferma (the mainland), mostly in the large frazioni (roughly equivalent to "parishes" or "wards" in other countries) of Mestre and Marghera; and 31,000 on other islands in the lagoon). Together with Padua and Treviso, the city is included in the Padua-Treviso-Venice Metropolitan Area (PATREVE), with a total population of 2,600,000. PATREVE is only a statistical metropolitan area without any degree of autonomy.

Venice, more than any other European city, has an endlessly seductive charm. For centuries, it was nicknamed La Serenissima, "The Most Serenely Beautiful One"— and for good reason. Along with sampling the sumptuous art treasures of Venice and exploring its back-street wonders, we'll cruise its lagoon, stopping in fiery Murano for glass, pastel Burano for lace, and murky Torcello for a sense of where Venice was born. © 2012 Rick Steves' Europe

Italian police blocked boats of protesters from reaching Venice's St. Mark's Square on Tuesday, ahead of a meeting between Prime Minister Matteo Renzi and French President Francois Hollande. More than 500 people demonstrated against the leaders' plans to restart work on a high-speed train line connecting Lyon and Turin. They're also demanding that cruise ships no longer be allowed into the city's historic lagoon.

Seeking refuge from mainland invaders, Venetians first settled on these lagoon islands in 421 AD eventually becoming the richest city in the world and a dominant naval power. Today, while the main island of Venice remains the centerpiece, the outer islands have retained their individual identities and remain fascinating stops on any visit to Venice. Follow Karine Hagen of Viking Cruises as she tours Torcello, San Giorgio Maggiori, Sant Erasmo, Burano, Murano and Lazzaretto Nuovo. For more information, visit us at www.vikingcruises.com/oceans.
Surrounding Venice and cradled by the lagoon are a string of low-lying islands which make a nice escape from the hubbub — especially if you can linger after the tourists return to the city. Regular ferryboats and water taxis connect Venice with nearby lagoon communities like Murano, famous for glass, and Burano, with its lace shops and photogenic Crayola-colored houses.

Founded in the 5th century and spread over 118 small islands, Venice became a major maritime power in the 10th century. The whole city is an extraordinary architectural masterpiece in which even the smallest building contains works by some of the world's greatest artists such as Giorgione, Titian, Tintoretto, Veronese and others.

In 1922, the island became home to a mental hospital where a doctor allegedly experimented on patients with crude lobotomies. He later threw himself from the hospital tower after claiming he had been driven mad by ghosts. The island contains one or more plague pits. Some estimates suggest that 100,000 people died on the island over the centuries. Here are pictures of a visit made in April 2016...

After sorting through the monuments of Venice's powerful past, we'll trace its decline from Europe's most powerful city to its most hedonistic one. We'll cruise the Grand Canal, luxuriate in a venerable café, and savor fresh fish canal-side with Venetian friends. Becoming as anonymous as possible in this city of masks, we'll be dazzled by masterpieces of the Venetian Renaissance and get intimate with the city of Casanova...on a gondola in the moonlight. © 2012 Rick Steves' Europe

When you gonna leave me alone
Wake up and get on with your life
When you gonna pick up the phone
Can't you see I'm lonely tonight
Stranded out on Venus again
Waiting for the TV to speak
Where are all my beautiful friends
Toasting off my beautiful week
Would you throw me a rope if I asked you to dance
Swallow me whole if I gave you the chance, oh yeah
Somewhere in space there's a start and an end
Show me the way Œcause I'm stranded on Venus again
On Venus again
Strolling down the length of La Brea
Searching for my angels with spoons
Holding out the length of the day here
Praying for the light of the moon
Would throw me a rope if I asked you to dance...
Hung out by the neon lights
Well maybe I'm wrong for thinking I'm right
Hello, California
Can't you see I'm lonely tonight
