The historical conditioning of traffic and tourism in Venice provides an overview of the theme of the city of Venice and its development throughout history and the different stages the city went through during its development. From the very beginnings, to the city as a maritime power before the Renaissance, all the way to the city we know today. It is one of the most visited destinations in Europe and the world. Venice has a unique urban transport infrastructure in which there is no road traffic. Traffic in the city is carried out exclusively by sea. This is a special feature that makes Venice one of the most traffic-unique cities in the world and thus makes it very attractive and attractive for tourists. Precisely because the city has such an unusual transport infrastructure conditioned by historical development, many problems related to the maintenance and survival of the city have appeared over the years. Venice is in great danger of ending up below sea level and this is one of the main problems it faces and it could come true in the not too distant future. Apart from that fact, Venice as it is today is constantly under great pressure due to the arrival of numerous visitors, which makes its traffic and therefore tourism unsustainable unless something is done. Numerous changes are already taking place in the city, but it is necessary to continue them more intensively and urgently. Radical moves related to reducing the influx of the often large number of people who arrive in such a small town are necessary for its survival as a town, including tourism and traffic.
