Itinerary
The Grand Canal is the main waterway of Venice, Italy, winding through the city in a path of about 3.8 km. This majestic canal, shaped like an inverted S, is lined with more than 170 historic buildings, many of which date from the 13th to the 18th centuries. The palaces and churches along the Grand Canal showcase a mix of architectural styles, including Byzantine, Gothic, and Renaissance, reflecting the wealth and history of Venice as a center of trade and culture. The Grand Canal is crossed by four main bridges: the Rialto Bridge, the Academy Bridge, the Scalzi Bridge, and the modern Constitution Bridge. Each of these bridges offers spectacular views and is a prime observation point for admiring the constant traffic of gondolas, vaporettos (Venice's water buses), and other vessels that navigate the canal daily.

About Venice
Venice floats on a lagoon of more than a hundred islands, a city of canals, palaces and bridges with no cars, where every walk ends somewhere unexpected.
The Grand Canal sweeps through the city in a great reversed S, lined with palaces and crossed by the Rialto Bridge. Near its mouth, Piazza San Marco gathers St Mark's Basilica with its golden mosaics, the Doge's Palace, the Bridge of Sighs and the tall brick campanile. Water buses and gondolas show the city from the angle it was built to be seen.
