When it’s overrun by cruise ship passengers and daytrippers, Venice can seem more like an Italian Disney World than the true gem that it is to those who love the city. But if you visit out of season, or just wander away from the throngs around Piazza San Marco, Venice remains a magical and enchanting place.
Google Street View is now making it possible to take a virtual tour of La Serenissima, even offering floating views via Google Trekker technology. Now wherever you are it’s possible to vicariously explore one of the world’s great treasures.
