Canal Grande
Canal Grande Reviews
 Dec 29, 2006Il Canal Grande è il principale canale di Venezia. Taglia in due la città tracciando una "S" rovesciata e viene superato da tre ponti, il più noto dei quali è il ponte di Rialto (gli altri due sono quello degli Scalzi nei pressi della stazione ferroviaria e quello dell'Accademia). È in corso di costruzione un quarto ponte, progettato dall'architetto Santiago Calatrava che collegherà il piazzale della stazione ferroviaria con piazzale Roma, capolinea delle linee automobilistiche dell'ACTV.

…wandered over to the two columns of St Mark’s Square, our meeting point for the next segment of our journey - a trip around the Grand Canal aboard a water taxi.

The taxi boats are beautiful and our driver zipped up and down little canals eventually entering onto the Grand Canal. I experienced full sensory overload at the stunning sights and sounds of Venice and all her glory. Our driver pulled up to what is considered a "dock". It was about the size of two 2"x4" planks… A new husband, a fresh passport and a ticket to Italy! |

Canal. Almost all buildings along the Grand Canal accordingly back straight onto the water, often with ‘front’ doors and steps right into (or sinking into) the water so again only to be viewed by taking this trip. Try with a little cunning and patience… Venice : Can falling in love and getting lost become the same thing? |

Grand Canal. A traghetto is a retired gondola used to transport passengers back and forth across the Grand Canal at a single location. There are seven traghetto stations along the Canal. While waiting for the traghetto to return to our side of the Canal… Park the horse, climb the Clock Tower. |

The bus is not like Top Gear’s amphibious vehicles but still functions like a public bus along the Grand Canal for locals, delivery people and of course the tourists. Still we got our first impression of the Grand Canal from the water bus and saw that it is as busy as any main street with water taxis, water buses, private boats… Venice - Much better than Kevin Costner's 'Waterworld'.
