Venice

About this episode

Located at the northernmost end of the Adriatic Sea lies the city of Venice. 

Venice is truly unlike any other city in the world. It is a collection of 118 small islands connected by bridges and ferries.

Its unique geography allowed Venice to become one of the most powerful cities in the world, both militarily and economically. 

Today it remains one of the world’s greatest tourist destinations. 

Learn more about Venice and its rise and fall on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
