The unique beauty of Venice can not be overstated. One of the few cities in the world that features canals. There are approximately 400 bridges that connect over 100 islands. It is also filled with many alley-ways, tiny waterways, cobbled streets, courtyards and beautifully colored boats and buildings. It is almost like a real-life fairy tale. This picture below was taken from the Rialto bridge, looking down the Grand Canal.  Is there any place on earth more unique?  Please feel free to post comments below.
