Italy’s Venetian Lagoon (Venice and Burano)

The Venetian Lagoon in northeastern Italy is dotted with dozens of inhabited islands. Kira explores two where cars are restricted. Venice, long considered the most beautiful and romantic city in the world, is also Europe's largest urban car-free area and is recognized by UNESCO. Burano is a tiny island which has been a colorfully curated home to generations of lace makers, artists, and fishermen.
