The Doge's Palace has acted as a palace, a political center, a museum, and a prison since the 12th century. The most impressive highlight is the Sala del Maggiore Consiglio (Great Council Hall), by Tintoretto. It is the largest room in Europe not supported by interior columns and also contains the largest oil painting in the world, Tintoretto's Paradise.

This is fairly expensive so we did not do it but I suppose when in Venice………I personally find it a bit tacky and not very romantic (especially when you have tourists photographing you for their must have gondola picture). I do think they are very beautiful and a symbol of Venice.

This is Venice’s major waterway, the Grand Canal bisects the whole city. It Runs from the railway station to San Marco, and snakes it way through the city. It is almost 4kms long and 5 metres deep with the average width being 50 metres. Gondolas and every kind of boat imaginable travel the canal, making it a very busy waterway. The banks are lined with medieval palaces and churches as well as rundown houses and apartments.

This is a great place to sit on the stairs and relax for a while. It is surrounded by shops, restaurants and cafes (very pricey). It is best experienced at night where there are orchestras playing classical music, I think this is only in summer. You don’t need to sit at an expensive café to enjoy it, grab a drink from around the corner and sit on the stairs.

The bridge was built between 1588 and 1591, as a permanent replacement for the boat bridge and three wooden bridges that had crossed the Grand Canal. The Rialto Bridge's has a 24-foot arch and is built on 12,000 wooden pilings that still support the bridge today. There are some small shops on the bridge selling touristy stuff. Be aware that the cafes along the Grand Canal near the bridge are very expensive and the food very boring.

The best way to discover Venice is to just walk and forget about any kind of direction and see what happens. Pull out the map at the end of the day to find your way home or jump on a water bus back to San Marco – we used this as our base as we knew how to get from here to our hotel.

I was only about 11 when I went to Venice but I remember it so well. Lovely page | Pawtuxet Sat Feb 28, 2004 23:27 UTC
Venice photographs beautifully. Our camera was stolen, so I really appreciate your pics. Thanks for helping me to remember. | shellybelly567 Mon Feb 16, 2004 09:19 UTC
Great Venice Page! I think I have an almost identical photo of the Grand Canal ; ) | Xemx Thu Oct 30, 2003 12:37 UTC
Very nice Venice pages with beautiful pics. I was there last month but only for a day. I had a gondola ride and enjoyed it, and as I was with a tour, it only cost me USD 16 and was well worth it. Hope to go back for a proper visit soon. |
