Venice

Many people dream to travel in Europe. I got to know Europe when I was in high school from the history text book. There were two books about world history. I was impressed a lot by the Renaissance. In our Chinese text book, The Merchant of Venice, written by William Shakespeare was translated to Chinese. I was attracted by story. I like history very much. So from that time I dreamed about going to Europe. At that time, going to other country was really a daydream for me.
There are many way traveling in Europe. You can travel by boat because everybody knows Venice is a watery city, which is a city of northeast Italy on islets within a lagoon in the Gulf of Venice, a wide inlet of the northern Adriatic Sea.
Venice was founded in the 5th century a.d. by refugees fleeing the Lombard invaders who had gained control of the mainland. It became a major maritime power by the 13th century and spread its influence over northern Italy by the 15th century.
Such history attracted me a lot. You know, that a watery city does not mean that you can not drive your car. You can get Car Hire Italy and enjoy your travel too. It is cheap. You can book online. They also offer you a practical and budget-friendly way to travel in Italy at a pace that suits you.
