Hard to add anything new to the legend and fame of this avenue, but must add some suggestions. Early morning or later evening for the best experience on a vaporetto. Expect noise and congestion during the day - live with it and accept the flow of the city. Cicchetti and Spritz (ask for and you will enjoy) by the canal... More

We walked down the footpath, caught a water bus and even had a gondola trip on it. Lots of photos taken off this really famous canal.

Even though it can be crowded, it offers a Wonderful overview of the Grand Canal and you can get off/on when you like. Nice option, when your feet get tired.

Maybe I've seen it in too many films and I've become jaded. If you come to Venice, you will see this. Travel it in the day and again in the night by... More

Visting Venice in May is a good time. The Grand Canal glitters in sunshine or melts in opaque eau-de-nil green if there are clouds across the sky. Either way, it is beautiful and graced by so many wonderful palazzi either side, this stretch of water must be one of the most gorgeous in the world. Stay in a hotel overlooking... More

All the city of Venice is a masterwork, from the great places as Piazza San Marco to the hidden little streets all is magic.- I think that if you try to make another city like this it would be imposible.-
