The saltwater lagoon stretches along the shoreline between the mouths of the Po (south) and the Piave (north) Rivers. The population estimate of 272,000 inhabitants includes the population of the whole Comune of Venezia; around 62,000 in the historic city of Venice (Centro storico); 176,000 in Terraferma (the Mainland), mostly in the large frazione of Mestre and Marghera; and 31,000 live on other islands in the lagoon.

Geneva (pronounced /dʒɨˈniːvə/; French: Genève IPA: [ʒənɛv], German: Genf (help·info) [gɛnf], Italian: Ginevra [dʒiˈneːvra], Romansh: Genevra) is the second most populous city in Switzerland (after Zürich), and is the most populous city of Romandy (the French-speaking part of Switzerland). It is situated where the Rhône River exits Lake Geneva (French Lac Léman) and is the capital of the Republic and Canton of Geneva. In 2004, the population of the canton was 441,000, that of the commune within the traditional city limits 185,526, and that of the metropolitan area — which extends into neighboring France and the Swiss Canton of Vaud — about 960,000. Geneva is widely regarded as a global city, mainly due to the presence of numerous international organizations, including the headquarters of many of the agencies of the United Nations[1]. A 2007 survey found Geneva to have the second highest quality of living in the world (narrowly outranked by Zürich).[2]
The Myrtle Beach area, also known as the Grand Strand, stretches for almost sixty miles along the northern South Carolina coast from Little River near the North Carolina border south through Georgetown. The area includes most of the coastal areas of Horry (pronounced "Orree") and Georgetown counties. This area has become one of the top vacation, convention, wedding, and honeymoon destinations in the United States with over 14 million visitors per year. While the attraction of most tourist destinations is one-dimensional, the Grand Strand has something for everyone. The same features that set it apart as an ideal place to vacation make it a great place to call home, resulting in phenomenal growth in year-round population and Myrtle Beach is not just getting BIGGER… it’s getting BETTER! Whether its golf courses, restaurants, entertainment, shopping, transportation, arts and culture, or real estate development, quality improvements are outpacing even the spectacular growth.

Murano is usually described as an island in the Venetian Lagoon, although like Venice itself it is actually an archipelago of islands linked by bridges. It lies about a mile north of Venice and is famous for its glass making, particularly lampworking.
Murano was settled by the Romans, then from the sixth century by people from Altino and Oderzo. At first, the island prospered as a fishing port and through production of salt. It was also a centre for trade, through the port it controlled on Sant'Erasmo. From the eleventh century, it began to decline as islanders moved to Dorsoduro. It had a Grand Council, like that of Venice, but from the thirteenth century Murano was ultimately governed by a podestà from Venice. Unlike the other islands in the Lagoon, Murano minted its own coins.
Burano is an island in the Venetian Lagoon, although like Venice itself it could more correctly be called an archipelago of islands linked by bridges. It lies near Torcello at the northern end of the Lagoon, and is known for its lacework. The island was probably settled by the Romans, and in the sixth century was occupied by people from Altino, who named it for one of the gates of their former city. Two stories are attributed to how the city obtained its name. One is that it was initially founded by the Buriana family, and another is that the first settlers of Burano came from the small island of Buranello, five miles to the south.
Although the island soon became a thriving settlement, it was administered from Torcello and had none of the privileges of that island or of Murano. It rose in importance only in the sixteenth century, when women on the island began making lace with needles. The lace was soon exported across Europe, but decline began in the eighteenth century and the industry did not revive until 1872, when a school of lacemaking was opened. Lacemaking on the island boomed again, but few now make lace in the traditional manner as it is extremely time-consuming and therefore expensive.

The Ariana Museum houses one of the richest and most beautiful ceramic and glass collections in Europe.
Some 16,000 pieces of pottery, stoneware, earthenware and porcelain are on display, in addition to 2,000 blown, moulded, engraved or cut glass pieces. The collection represents seven centuries of work, ranging from the Middle Ages to modern times in Europe, the Near East and Asia. The building itself, in Neo-Renaissance style, is a true jewel in the centre of a vast park.
