Wanderlust World Wanderlust World Venice is situated in the Veneto region of northeastern Italy, built on an archipelago of 118 small islands in the Adriatic Sea, a northern arm of the Mediterranean Sea. The islands are separated by canals and connected by over 400 bridges.
This lagoon environment has shaped Venice's history, architecture, and transportation—most famously its gondolas and vaporetti (water buses). The Adriatic's tides and currents influence daily life, while the sea provided the trade routes that made Venice a medieval maritime superpower.
