Port of Venice Shore Excursions - Walking, Canals, Gondola/Dinner

Venice today is 118 islands with 150 canals in a shallow lagoon connected by 400 bridges divided into 6 separate areas. Originally founded 421. Its greatest growth was following the 4th Crusade in 1204. In the 15th & 16th century the first Jewish Ghetto in Europe was created in the Cannaregio section of Venice.

The Ottoman empire conquered and controlled Venice in the 1500's till Napoleon took over 1797 and he removed the gates of the Ghetto and ended the restrictions

After 1797, the city fell into a state of old palaces and abandoned buildings falling into disrepair, although the Lido became a popular beach resort in the late 19th century.
