Venice's
historic center is 3 km or 2 miles off the coast of Northern Italy. The city is
built on more than 100 islands in the Venetian Lagoon, and it's linked to the
mainland by a rail and road causeway named the Ponte della Libertá
("Bridge of Liberty"). You'll cross this bridge if you arrive by train, bus,
car, or land taxi; another option is to come from the airport or a mainland
parking lot by public water bus or water taxi.
