Venice is a city in northern Italy known both for tourism and for industry, and is the capital of the region Veneto. The city stretches across 117 small islands in the marshy Venetian Lagoon along the Adriatic Sea in northeast Italy. The saltwater lagoon stretches along the shoreline between the mouths of the Po (south) and the Piave (north) Rivers.
Venice is world-famous for its canals, and almost every form of transport is on water or on foot. The entire island is car-free. Its streets are often narrow and twisting, and it can be easy to become lost. Graffiti'd signs on building walls often point the way to the most popular tourist locations.
Today, Venice's economy is mainly based on tourism (the city has an average of 50,000 tourists a day), shipbuilding (mainly done in the neighbouring cities of Mestre and Porto Marghera), services, trade and industrial exports. Murano glass production in Murano and lace production in Burano are also highly important to the economy.
