50+ Beautiful Pictures of Venice, Italy Taken with Love

Pictures of Venice, Italy can tell a beautiful story of a city from long ago. And that city still stands in all its glory. This is a story about our mesmerizing experience in Venice with pictures taken with love.

Venice is one of the most romantic cities in the world for many reasons. Maybe because of its maze of medieval streets that are so perfectly preserved and it feels like you’re about see a young man singing a serenade to his beloved girl as you turn yet another corner. Or maybe it’s because you can actually hear a gondolier serenading a pair of tourists as he rows down a canal in his extravagantly embellished gondola.

The city is full of little adventures and each narrow street, each canal, each square has a story of its own. It never gets boring and it keeps calling you back. I’m convinced – you cannot visit Venice just once. We came here with the expectation to see yet another glorified overcrowded medieval European town, but we have fallen in love and we have promised to come back.
