About
Nopeat faktat: The longest waterway in the city measures nearly 2 miles, lined with more than 170 historic buildings. Gondolas and vaporettos gently navigate its winding curves, revealing centuries of Venetian life bursting through every canal bend.
Kohokohdat: The sight of the Rialto Bridge arching elegantly over sparkling water surrounded by Renaissance palaces paints a scene straight from a Venetian painting. As sunlight hits the canal's surface at sunset, the colors of the buildings shimmer, creating a magical glow that feels almost otherworldly.
Insider tips
- Wear comfy shoes; many parts are best explored on foot along the canal edges.
- Capture the best photos from the Rialto Bridge or the vaporetto for a panoramic view.
- Avoid peak tourist hours around midday to enjoy a quieter, more peaceful ambiance.
- Skip expensive gondola rides near major landmarks; opt for less busy sections for a better price.
