I'm confused as to which city is the Venice of The North. On google there seem to be many! Any idea of the real Venice of The North?

What about Amsterdam?Or Manchester?

Several northern cities with canals call themselves the Venice of the North, as you have discovered Zoey - including Stockholm, Amsterdam, Bruges, St Petersburg & Bornholm.

From the questions that you have posted on this site, I am guessing that this is a British quiz so I expect the answer they are looking for is Maryhill - a suburb of Glasgow.

Birmingham actually has more canals than Venice and that has earned it the name of 'Venice of the North' in some circles. I agree though, that there are many more cities that have been given this epithet so Brum is another option.

jno

indeed, Del, one so often hears Venetians refer to their city as the Birmingham of the south...

Why on earth would Manchester be called "The Venice of the North"? I can understand Amsterdam and Birmingham but Manchester?
