Grand Canal is the main and the most beautiful “water street” in the Venice. It is long about 4 km. Just take Vaporetto or waterbus and drive from the Piazza Roma to the Piazza San Marco. You will see many great old places and each stop offer many amazing and magnificent palaces and churches. The vaporetto No. 1 from the Piazza Roma to Piazza Marco is the slowest one and you will have a good look to see the entire canal in one ride.

This spectacularly church in Byzantine style located of course on Piazza San Marco. I don't know what is more impressive (interior or outside). At the top center of church there is the golden winged lion which is the symbol of Venice. There are five entrance doors with great decorated arches above. The central entrance is the largest one. All decorations and facade are of mosaics, arches and portals and there are so beautiful.

Rialto bridge is the most known bridge in Venice. It was the first bridge who connected two sides of the town. It is from 13 th century and on the bridge there are many souvenirs shops with three main stairs. I think that from the top of the bridge is the best view of Grand Canal.
