What to expect
The Grand Canal is the main waterway of Venice, Italy, following a natural channel that traces a reverse-S course and divides the city into two parts. It is 3.8 km long, 30 to 90 m wide, with an average depth of 5 metres. The canal is lined on either side by palaces, churches, hotels, and other public buildings in Romanesque, Gothic, and Renaissance styles. The Grand Canal is bridged at four points, including the famous Rialto Bridge. Traditional poled gondolas and motorized public-transit water buses are popular ways to explore the canal. The canal is also home to many historic palaces, including the Ca' d'Oro and the Palazzo Pesaro, which now houses the International Gallery of Modern Art and the Museum of Oriental Art
