10 Beautiful Piazzas in Venice

Known best as “the city of canals,” Venice, Italy is one of the most coveted travel destinations on the planet. The beauty and romance of Venice emanate from its location of over 100 islands on a lagoon in the Adriatic Sea. The islands are connected by canals rather than roads, and picturesque squares called piazzas or campos are scattered throughout the city. Dating back centuries, the squares once served as places where citizens gathered for social, religious, and political activities.

In addition to cruising along the Grand Canal, one of the highlights for visitors in Venice is strolling along the winding streets to discover the town squares, explore the ancient architecture, and experience the festivities of the piazzas. Here are 10 of the most beautiful piazzas to visit in Vienna.
