Did you know that...There are no cars in the city of Venice! The boats in the canals are the main way to get around. Fun Fact: There are 400 gondolas in Venice. If you think that’s a lot, at one point there were as many as 10,000 gondolas in Venice! Centuries ago, wealthy Venetians would use them like a horse and carriage would be used in other places at the time.
