The Grand Canal - A Famous Waterway in Venice Italy


The Venice Grand Canal is the main waterway of Venice Italy following a natural channel that traces a reverse-S course from San Marco Basilica to Santa Chiara Church. It divides the city into two parts and connects at various points with a maze of smaller canals. These waterways carry the bulk of Venetian transportation. Traditional Gondolas are a favorite with tourists but are now vastly outnumbered by motorized public-transit water buses (Vaporetto) and private water taxis which are the easiest way to get around the city. Vaporetto line 1 is the best for sightseeing on the Grand Canal and photographing this Magnificent city.
