Venice of the North

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Venice of the Baltics)

The following is a list of settlements nicknamed Venice of the North.

The term Venice of the North refers to various cities in Northern Europe that contain canals, comparing them to Venice, Italy, which is renowned for its canals, such as the Grand Canal. Some of these nicknames, e.g. in the case of Amsterdam, date back centuries, while others like Birmingham are recently given and invented as self-promotion by the cities' own residents or representatives.
