The city is renowned for its canals and the vessels that roam the water. Many houses are built on pole foundations and floods are not uncommon in the city. Still, it is striking to see how many impressive structures can be admired from the canals. A tour with a gondola is the best way to experience the city, the gondolas lead along impressive churches, palaces and bridges. Some of the main sights include:
