The ancients called Venice 'Alter Mundi', 'the other side of the world'. Venice was a unique type of city that had never been seen before in the world, and it was the richest maritime republic in the Mediterranean. The Venetians built a huge stone city by piling up wooden stakes in the Adriatic lagoon and stacking bricks, pebbles, and stone blocks. In Piazza San Marco, which Napoleon praised as 'the best drawing room in Europe', there is a café called Florian that opened in 1720. However, there is a café that curator Im Seong-il recommends with a special heart. On the other hand, the building that was also used as Napoleon's office is currently operated as the Museo Correr Museum, and right next to the museum is the Museo Correr Cafe, a museum café known only to those in the know. It is a place where you can enjoy a great view of the square and a deep espresso at a low price and in a quiet atmosphere. Venice is made up of over 110 islands. Riding a water bus to tour the nearby islands is a highlight of a trip to Venice. Taking the Vaporetto Ferry Line 17, which is mainly used by locals, to Lido di Venezia, where the Venice International Film Festival is held, offers a much richer view than a regular water bus. After tasting the essence of Venetian seafood cuisine on Giudecca Island, we return to the main island. We come across hidden gem-like shops in the labyrinthine medieval alleys. The bookstore Libreria Acqua Alta, which means flood or high tide, is unique in that it displays books on a gondola to prevent flooding during high tide. Acqua Alta, which is rising sea levels, has reached a level that threatens the survival of Venice. In response, the Venetians spent a huge amount of money and time to complete the historic project, MOSE. A modern version of Moses' miracle created by the will and spirit of challenge of the Venetians, we head to the Adriatic Sea and see the scene right before our eyes. #WorldThemeTravel #CompleteConquest!Italy #Venice #HighTideSeason #St.MarcoPiazza #GondolaNightView #No.17WaterBus #LidoIsland #SuburbanCity #Treviso #EatingTiramisu
