2) Venice Canals
Back in 1905 man-made canals were built in Venice, California and the were intentionally designed to look like the beautiful canals you might fine in Venice, Italy. As you might deduce from the name of this little city, they were really committed to the idea of bringing some of that Italian romance to the United States! In the 1920’s, Venice was merged into Los Angeles. If you don’t have the time or funds to travel to Italy, visit this beautiful little part of LA for a wonderful treat. In much of the area, cars are forbidden, so it’s a great place to go for a walk through the streets and over the canal bridges, taking in the beauty of the extravagant homes and boats in the area. Not only does Venice LA have a beautiful canal area, but you can also walk along it’s ocean promenade, which is bustling with entertainment, artists, and great food.
