Venice is a city in northeastern Italy and the capital of the Veneto region. It is built on a group of 127 islands that are separated by expanses of open water and by canals; portions of the city are linked by 472 bridges.
Venice is a very popular tourist destination, a major cultural centre, and has often been ranked one of the most beautiful cities in the world. It has been described by The Times as one of Europe's most romantic cities and by The New York Times as "undoubtedly the most beautiful city built by man".
