Venice - The Grand Canal

The S-shaped Grand Canal, otherwise known as the 'finest street in the world', is the largest and most important water route in Venice. With countless bridges, each with it’s own unique tale to tell, this 4km long landmark waterway is lined with palaces and that used to house the Venetian patricians. Teeming with gondolas, water taxis and vaporetti there are multiple ways to view the Grand Canal and take in the countless sights that lie along it.
