Taking a boat ride along the Grand Canal by clairegeordio
A must is to take vaparetto no 1 from St Mark's Square vaparetto stop in the direction of Lido, then get off and wait for the next one to arrive. You can then have prime position for taking photos/filming in the front or back of the boat and will start from the bottom of the Canal up to the top.
Boat no 82 also goes up and down the Grand Canal.
