Process
Below you will find the details for the required information. Use the links to compile all of the information listed.
The Venice traveller
As you probably already know, Venice is a sinking city; so you will also need to find out information about the building structure of the city. Moreover, it�s not a place for cars or other private means of transport. It�s the only European city and one of the few in the world to have its public transport located entirely on the water. So you�ll have to investigate about how people get around in the city. Use the links to find information and answer these questions:
� �City of Water� is one of Venice�s names. Find 3 other names for the city
� Find 3 touristic sites in the city
� How are its buildings constructed?
� What means of transport can you find in the city?
The Florence Traveller
Who established the city; and when?
Who occupied the city during one year in the World War II (1943�1944)?
You will also have to find five sites and historical places to visit in Florence. In your document, you may want to include historical sites, churches, museums and sculptures.
