威尼斯。。水都。终于,来到了这个很特别的城市。一个无车的城市,这里的交通就需要靠步行和船了。
[ 威尼斯的水道舉世知名。瀉湖上的118座群島約由150條水道交織而成。構成威尼斯的島嶼約擁有400座橋樑。在古老的城市中心,運河取代了公路的功能,主要的交通模式是步行與水上交通。
19世紀設立火車站,鐵路長堤把威尼斯主島西北部與義大利半島連接起來。20世紀,又加建公路長堤和泊車場。威尼斯主島西北部因而成為鐵路和道路的入口處。中心舊市區街道狹窄,為步行區,是歐洲最大的無汽車地區。在21世紀,這座無車都市是相當獨特的。
「貢多拉」是威尼斯最具代表性和道統的水上代步小船。但現今威尼斯人通常會使用較為經濟的水上巴士(vaporetti)穿行市內主要水道和威尼斯的其他小島。
威尼斯的國際機場是馬可波羅國際機場,這已以著名的威尼斯人馬可波羅來命名的。這個機場建立在威尼斯對岸的義大利半島上,並遠離海岸線,不過前往威尼斯的水上運輸工具距離航站步行只需7分鐘。] Wikipedia :威尼斯
平时,我们看到一般的大城市是拥有很多highway,freeway,但是,在威尼斯,我们就看到一条条的水道。从威尼斯火车站出来,你就可以看到船站设立在水道旁。如果需要一直乘坐船只的话,可以在火车站里头的旅游局购买half day pass 或者one day pass.他们有不同package供旅客选择。
水都
水道就象马路一样,有一些指示牌,交通规则。
Murano是威尼斯外面的其中一个外岛。这里出名的是Glass,玻璃。从威尼斯坐船到Murano大概需要半个小时。
[ Murano is usually described as an island in the Venetian Lagoon, although like Venice itself it is actually an archipelago of islands linked by bridges. It lies about a mile north of Venice and is famous for its glass making, particularly lampworking. It was once an independent comune, but is now a località of the comune of Venice. ] Wikipedia: Murano

Murano的其中一个景点, "Museo Vetrario"。里面收藏了很多漂亮的古时代的玻璃。
[ Today, Murano is home to the Museo Vetrario or Glass Museum in the Palazzo Giustinian, which holds displays on the history of glassmaking as well as glass samples ranging from Egyptian times through the present day.
Some of historical factory of glass in Murano are today the most important brand of glass in the world: Venini, Barovier & toso, Pauly, Seguso.
The oldest factory of glass are Pauly & C. - Compagnia Venezia Murano (Founded in 1866 is active today) ] Wikipedia: Murano

在Burano,你可以看见那些屋子涂着非常鲜艳的颜色。
[ Burano is an island in the Venetian Lagoon, although like Venice itself it could more correctly be called an archipelago of islands linked by bridges. It lies near Torcello at the northern end of the Lagoon, and is known for its lacework.
Burano is situated 7 kilometers from Venice, a short 40 minute trip by Venetian motorboats, "vaporetti". The island is linked to Mazzorbo by a bridge. The current population of Burano is about 4,000. ] Wikipedia : Burano

五彩缤纷的屋子
最后一个我们去的外岛是"Torcello"。这里要说的是,如果没太多时间的话,可以放弃这个景点。不过,在这里可以看到漂亮的日落、夕阳。
[ Torcello is a quiet and sparsely populated island at the northern end of the Venetian Lagoon. It is considered the oldest continuously populated region of Venice, and once held the largest population of the Republic of Venice. ] Wikipedia :Torcello
[ Today's main attraction is the Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta, founded in 639 and with much eleventh and 12th century Byzantine work, including mosaics (e.g. a vivid version of the Last Judgement), surviving. ]

漂亮的日落
没有船直到Venice,所以要回到来Burano,然后转船去Venice。花了很多时间在这里。
晚霞
到了Venice的Piazza San Marco已经是晚上了。天气开始转凉,感觉有点冷。我们还看到一群鸽子挤在一起取暖,不过,有的弱鸽子被同伴踩死和挤死了。
[ Piazza San Marco (often known in English as St Mark's Square), is the principal square of Venice, Italy.
A remark often attributed to Napoleon (but perhaps more correctly to Alfred de Musset) calls the Piazza San Marco "The drawing room of Europe". It is one of the few great urban spaces in a Europe where human voices prevail over the sounds of motorized traffic, which is confined to Venice's waterways. It is the only urban space called a piazza in Venice; the others, regardless of size, are called campi.
As the central landmark and gathering place for Venice, Piazza San Marco is extremely popular with tourists, photographers, and Venetian pigeons. ] Wikipedia : Piazza San Marco
