Floating on the Canal Grande

by Luchonda - last update: Oct 6, 2004

Superb decoration of the facades

Wall deco
Nice decorated facades a special impression and atmosphere
Crossing many bridges

Typical atmosphere in Venice

Walking through the streets is crossing many bridges and looking to the special walls.

Impressive architecture

Narrow streets - many market squares - decorated walls - this is the charme of Venice !
Wall deco
Palazzo Barbarigo

View from the Canal Grande

Mosaic or painting - i could not see the difference - but is was great !
It is the "Palazzo Barbarigo"

Typical scene on the Canal

Gondolas - nice houses and a lot of cultural activities !
BTW - a lot of houses are in restauration phase - so i have to go back !

 Lovely photos of Venice. Did you bump into Romeo and Juliet when you were in Venice ;))

 Luc I love Venice, it was a pity we were there for only two nights, and one day at Burano Island. Next time we will stay longer. Your Venice page is great.

 The self service restaurant called Chat Qui Rit is worth a visit to see just how rude the cashier and manager can be. They are unbelieveable.

 I'm going back to Venice in March and I can't wait! But I think I'll skip your idea of going up in a balloon, and I'm afraid, the 1000 $ glass figurines will have to stay in the shop.
