	Grand Canal/Palazzo: Canale Grande Tip Rating:

Canale Grande

by HORSCHECK

The Canale Grande is the most famous waterstreet in Venice. It meanders more than 3,5 km through all six districts of the historic centre. Only three bridges cross the Canale Grande. A trip with the vaporetti (water busses) #1 or #82 from the train station (Ferrovia) to St. Mark's Square (Piazza San Marco) offers scenic views of the historic facades along the Canale Grande.

Canal Grande

by croisbeauty, 4 more photos

Crossing the Canal Grande is like going back through centuries of history. For example, the Renaissance palaces stands close to the late gothic or Baroque ones. The names of Doges and centuries of art are inextricably linked here.
Canal Grande looks always very bussy, hundreds of boats and gondolas pass by no metter if dawn or late night. Crowds of people stand immovably on Ponte Rialto or around it trying to snapshot the picture of their life.

	Grand Canal/Palazzo: Ca' d'Oro Tip Rating:

Ca' d'Oro

by croisbeauty

Ca' d'Oro is the most outstanding gem of Venetian Gothic architecture. Gothic arches embroider the facade of the noblest of the Venetian mansions, which the locals called House of Gold. It is named after the multicolored decorations on the marble, once covered with gilding.

	Grand Canal/Palazzo: The Grand Canal Tip Rating:

The Grand Canal & Accademia
Bridge

by JetlagCity

Winding through the multitude of tiny islands that are Venice, the Grand Canal looks like a giant "S" from the air. It seems almost more like a river than like the other canals, since it's so much wider than most. Beautiful frescoed and marbled palaces of Venice's old aristocratic families line both sides of it, along with other famous landmarks like Santa Maria della Salute church, the Accademia, and the Rialto Bridge. Only three bridges cross it, with a fourth soon to come.

One of my favorite memories is sitting outside in the fresh air on the #1 vaporetto going slowly down the Grand Canal, taking in the beauty of the water and the architecture all around.

	Grand Canal/Palazzo: Lovely buildings along the canals Tip Rating:

Canal Grande

by sachara

Especially along the Canal Grande are the most beautiful buildings and palazzo's. The best thing to do for having a good look at all those palazzos is to take the vaporetto.

But I also liked to sit along the Canal Grande and have a look at the palazzos from there, including all the boats passing by.

The terrace of the Peggy Guggenheim museum in Dorsoduro from where I took this picture, is such a nice place to sit and look to the nice surroundings.

	Grand Canal/Palazzo: Venice - water bus ride Tip Rating:

Water bus stop, Venice,
Italy

by Martin_S.

This was our water bus as it pulled into the station, I was hoping the other boat would pull out before we clobbered it. If you have never boarded a boat before, it can be in interesting test of balance and timing. As the station sways to the pace of the waves hitting it, the boat also rocks to its own rythm, one is going up and down and a little back and forth, while the other is to and fro with a little down and sideways. At this point you need to step from one to the other, well good luck...I think they will fish you out of the Grand Canal if you "miss" that first step ^O^

Grand Canal taxi stand,
Venice, Italy

by Martin_S.

Here in the forground you can see one of the many taxi stands along the Grand Canal. You just step off of dry land and put yourself in the hands of the skipper. That little brown boat in the forfront of the picture had a small sign in English "Taxi"..

	Grand Canal/Palazzo: Venice's "Main Street" for Boats Tip Rating:

By meteorologist1 on August 10, 2003

Venice Page by meteorologist1

Along the Grand Canal, Venice.

by meteorologist1

The Grand Canal is like the main street of Venice. A lot of traffic, boat traffic that is. The buildings and houses along the Grand Canal sit right along the water; some maybe submerged under water. I will never forget the scene in Venice. It is absolutely one of a kind; you won't find this anywhere else in the world.

Boats are like cars in Venice. There are police boats, taxi boats, private boats, commercial boats, and sometimes you can also see the UPS (United Parcel Service) delivery boat.
