Cities on the Water

From China to India, from Mali to Russia, from Florida to Mexico and Peru, the other Venezie the world, including canals, rivers and game highlights.
Venice is Venice but if the “Serenissima”, the city of canals, enjoys an undisputed international reputation, there are others that took her “nickname” (the Venice of the North, the Venice of the East) and that, although perhaps less known, are equally unique and interesting, each in its own way unique and charming.
The first thought is now the most famous and near, Amsterdam, lively Dutch city to be experienced and admired. But in the land of Van Gogh there is also no longer the small town of Delft, now known for its porcelain, Delft pottery, architecture and technological innovation.
Birmingham also boasts an extensive network of canals as measured, would have extended even higher than those of Venice. They are the ones, Once a key to the commerce of the city during the Industrial Revolution of the nineteenth century, to represent the main tourist attraction in this town, central England.
Also in Europe, but much further east and further north, then there's St. Petersburg: refined and somber at the same time, very European in style (it was designed by the architect Domenico Trezzini,from Rome), but Russian soul. Here along the Neva the city from April to November is a great sight, especially during the white nights of June, when the sky is reflected in the water is never completely dark.
Thanks to Fort Lauderdale, in Florida, even the United States can boast their original Venice, complete with gondola service.
We can also mention Alappuzha city in Kerala Indian(in south east coast),Suzhou in China and Xochimilco in Mexico.
