Grand Canal/Palazzo: Venice's "Main Street" for Boats
  • Tip Rating:
  • Venice Grand Canal/Palazzo
  • Along the Grand Canal, Venice.
  • by meteorologist1
  • Send Photo to a Friend

  • Fondest Memory: 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.

    Campos, Calles and Canals: Canals...and lots of them.
  • Tip Rating: [Not enough ratings yet]

  • Fondest Memory: Venice has hundreds of canals in which boats drive through. These are like the "streets" for transportation in Venice. There are pedestrian walkways along the canals, but they are narrow, and with the large number of people, it can get extremely crowded. But this is the beauty of Venice...canals.

    Bridges: Rialto Bridge
  • Tip Rating: [Not enough ratings yet]
  • Venice Bridges
  • Rialto Bridge, Venice.
  • by meteorologist1
  • Send Photo to a Friend

  • Fondest Memory: This is a major landmark in Venice. The Rialto Bridge spans across the Grand Canal and is heavily used by many pedestrians to cross from one side to the other. On the bridge itself there are a lot of shops and stands that sell gifts and souvenirs. The bridge can become crowded at times.
