It remains a major Italian port in the northern Adriatic Sea(亚得里亚海) and is one of the world’s oldest tourist and cultural centres. In a word, Venice is a city in northeastern Italy sited on a group of 117 small islands separated by canals and linked by bridges, which is a beautiful city full of culture and history.
