One of the few cities in the world that can be truly described as unique. Built on a series of low mud banks amid the tidal waters of the adriatic and regularly subject to floods.

The city's sounds are of footsteps and the cries of boatmen. The only engines are those of barges delivering supplies or waterbuses ferrying passengers between stops.

You can walk to most places in Vencie itself, and take a ride on a waterbus to any of the islands.

The gondola has also been a part of the city since the 11th century. With its slim hull and flat underside, the craft is perfectly adapted to negotiating narrow, shallow canals.
