Waterfront Cities of the World - Season 2 - Eps 1: Venice
Known for its gondolas, its sunsets and amazing light, Venice is the world's only medieval city still standing today. For 1000 years, Venice was a trading capital, an economic power linked to the sea. It was the centre of activity and the warehouse for tradesmen, seamen and artisans. But annual floods and 21-million tourists a year are compromising the city on stilts, and Venitians struggle to find a solution.

Synopsis
As seen through the eyes of world-famous photographer Heidi Hollinger, we set off to discover vibrant port cities and capture their true essence and soul. Settled centuries ago when boat travel was the only means of communication, these ports have developed into commercial and cultural metropolises, rich in their unique history. Native and new residents alike share with us the love and charm each city has to offer.
