Forget the talk of dirty water, sinking buildings and too many tourists.
Go to Venice. Eat her seafood. Visit her museums. Get lost among her maze of canals.
Left and Right: The Bridge of Sighs, so named because convicts would cross through this windowed passageway to prison, giving them their last view of beautiful Venice.
The bridge was named by Lord Byron, and it connects the interrogation room to the prison in the Doge's Palace.
