Grand Canal
The Grand Canal is a canal in Venice. It forms one of the major water-traffic corridors, sweeping through the city.
It makes a large reverse ‘S' shape through the central districts of the province. It is 3,800 metre long, 30–90 metre wide with an average depth of 5 meters (16.5 ft).
Public transport is provided by water buses and private water taxis, and many tourists explore the canal by gondola.
The best way to view the magnificent buildings along the Grand Canal is to travel by water bus from one end to the other. Tourists flock here to take advantage of a romantic gondola ride along the waterway.
Travelling by water bus here is an especially memorable way to experience the Canal Grande.
