The Charm of Venice 威尼斯風(fēng)情
Venice offers a unique travel experience with plenty of charm. You'll notice something missing as soon as you arrive in Venice - traffic noise! So, as you walk down the narrow streets, you only have to dodge people. And there are a lot of them! About 19 million tourists a year go to Venice for the romantic atmosphere, the art and the food.
While walking along the streets is fun, you can get around much easier on the city's many canals. As you cruise down the Grand Canal, Venice's main "street", in a vaporetto or water taxi, you'll pass under the Rialto Bridge, a famous Venetian landmark. Get off the water taxi and walk across the bridge. Enjoy the view and the many shops that line the bridge.
In those shops, you'll likely see lots of the glass that Venice is famous for. To see glass-making demonstrations,visit the tiny island of Murano. In 1291 all glassmakers in Venice had to move to Murano because their foundries endangered the city's many wooden buildings. While on Murano, don't forget to buy some glass as a souvenir.
No matter how long you're in Venice, you'll find an abundance of things to see and do. Museums, churches and the city's delicious seafood all deserve attention. And last but not least, take a romantic, relaxing gondola ride through the canals at night. You can then truly experience the charm of Venice.

威尼斯魅力十足,讓旅行者盡享獨(dú)特旅程。當(dāng)你到達(dá)威尼斯的那一刻,你就會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)會(huì)少了點(diǎn)兒什么——交通噪音!所以,當(dāng)你走在威尼斯狹窄的街道上,你只需躲避來(lái)來(lái)往往不斷的行人就可以了。每年大約有1,900萬(wàn)游客被它的浪漫氛圍,藝術(shù)氣息和美食所吸引而來(lái)到威尼斯。
雖然走遍大街小巷相當(dāng)有趣,不過(guò)利用城內(nèi)很多條運(yùn)河觀光則容易得多。你搭乘水上 巴士或水上計(jì)程車(chē),順著威尼斯的主要街道大運(yùn)河航行時(shí),會(huì)從威尼斯著名地標(biāo)里奧托橋下經(jīng)過(guò)。跳下水上計(jì)程車(chē),去橋上走一走吧!飽覽橋上風(fēng)光,再逛逛橋旁林立的店鋪。? ?
在那些店里,你可能會(huì)看到琳瑯滿目的玻璃,這是威尼斯的特產(chǎn)呢。要看玻璃示范制作,就要前往小島慕拉諾。1291年,威尼斯所有玻璃工人都必須搬到慕拉諾,因?yàn)樗麄兊牟AS危及市區(qū)許多木造建筑。到了慕拉諾,別忘了買(mǎi)一些玻璃工藝品作紀(jì)念喔!?
不管你在威尼斯停留多久,都會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)很多可以看和做的事。博物館、教堂和威尼斯美味的海產(chǎn)都值得你的青睞。最后也很重要的一點(diǎn),晚上去坐浪漫、宜人的貢多拉搖櫓船漫游運(yùn)河,這樣你就能真正體會(huì)威尼斯的魅力。
