Venice Port Ferry Overview
Venice is a city in northern Italy, the capital of the region Veneto. Together with Padua, the city is included in the Padua-Venice Metropolitan Area. The city historically was an independent nation. Venice has been described it as "undoubtedly the most beautiful city built by man".
Venice is world-famous for its canals. It is built on an archipelago of 118 islands formed by about 150 canals in a shallow lagoon. The islands on which the city is built are connected by about 400 bridges. In the old center, the canals serve the function of roads, and every form of transport is on water or on foot. Venice is Europe's largest urban car free area, unique in Europe in remaining a sizable functioning city in the 21st century entirely without motorcars or trucks. Venice is practically a no car zone, being built on the water. Cars can reach the car/bus terminal via the bridge (Ponte della Liberta) (SR11). It comes in from the West from Mestre. There are two parking lots which serve the city: Tronchetto and Piazzale Rome.
Venice Ferry Port is a busy and popular port providing Southern Europe with an entrance to the Adriatic and Mediterranean Seas. Venice Ferry Port is situated close to the centre of Venice. |
