Venice Trip Planning
Around 60,000 people visit Venice every day. It is more than the entire population of the city. Venice is on the list of the 10 places to see before they’re gone. Expected time remaining is less than 70 years!
The reason for that is a rising sea level which may cause the risk of being sunk. But! Although floods are getting more severe almost every autumn and spring and sun is merciless in summer, this Italian gem never suffers from the lack of tourists.
If you’re planning a trip to Venice, save at least several days for it since this small city has a lot to show and share. Check my list of things to do and see in Venice.
