Here you're mi writing about these two cities which I visited in my trip to Italy:
The two cities I am going to write about are situated in the North of Italy by the Adriatic Sea. They are Trieste and Venice.
Last summer I had the opportunity to travel to these cities thanks to the Official Language School.
First of all, O'll write about Trieste. I onlu spent one day in this city nut, it was enough to verify how lively and comopolitan it is.
The heart of the city is full of shops springing up and thriving where lots and lots of affluent tourists spend their money every day.
I was surprised bythe historical buildings I could see there. It was really amazing to see Trieste's majestic square called "Piazza Unita d'Italia" surrounded by 19th century beautiful buildings. Whar's more, I have never seen such a spotless city, there was no rubbish on the streets and no graffiti anywhere.
The landscape on the outskirts is honestly astonishing, some residential areas are located overlooking the sea where I imagine a lot of absolutely lucky rich peopleare living in.
The most flourishing business in Trieste is shipbuilding, in fact most of the people from this city make their living working in the shipyards.
Venice is really, really worth visiting. I think it is incredibly unique, you won't be able to find a similar city in another place of the world. In fact, tourism has beena major sector of Venetias industry.
The whole city is buzzing from the early morning to the middle of the night but, if you want to feel the hustle and bustle of the city you must go for a walk on the streets in the morning. It is incredibly amazing the noise of the water in the canals and to see the vaporettos going and coming and people buying fish in the street markets...
The city is totally compact, there are no roads so the canals make this function, actually, the only way of transport is by water or on foot. They use a sort of ship called "vaporetto" to pransport everything.
Tourists usually travel by "gondola" to see the most popular places in the city but, they are ridiculously expensive.
The canals are crossed by bridges, some of then are as famous as other momuments in the city, for example: "Rialto" or "Suspiros".
However, Venice popularity has caused several problems, sometimes the city is overcrowded and some buildings are a bit run-down because they are very old and it's very pricey to restore them.
