Venice is a lagoon sanctuary virtually the same as it was 600 years ago, which adds to the fascinating character. Venice has decayed since its heyday and suffers from over-tourism, but the romantic charm remains.
It is also known as the birthplace of composers Tomaso Albinoni and Antonio Vivaldi. Venice and its lagoon are a UNESCO World Heritage site. It used to be an independent republic and remains one of Italy’s most important cities, with a quarter-million inhabitants.
Venice’s commune is made up of many islands in the Venetian Lagoon and a stretch of terraferma in northern Italy.
The commune is divided into six boroughs, the most famous of which comprises the historic city of Venice and the islands of Giudecca, Murano, Burano, Torcello, Mazzorbo, and Sant’Erasmo. Lido and Mestre are other popular areas of the commune.
The historic city is divided into six sestieri : Cannaregio, Castello, Dorsoduro, San Polo, Santa Croce, and San Marco, where the main monuments and sights are.
Each sestiere uses separate house numbers. However, they are not allocated in a specific pattern.
