Venice: The City of Canals

Venice, Italy, is famous for its picturesque canals that snake through the city, giving it a unique and magical atmosphere. The waterways are the lifeblood of Venice; instead of streets filled with cars, Venice is all about boats, and gondolas, that glide along the canals, connecting neighborhoods and landmarks. The Grand Canal, the largest and most famous waterway, is like the main street of Venice. Beyond the Grand Canal, Venice is full of smaller, quieter waterways that allow you to discover the hidden side of the city.
Venice has over 400 bridges that connect its various islands, with each bridge adding a bit of character to the landscape. Deliveries are made by boat, ambulances speed along the water, and even the garbage is collected by specialized boats. Whether you're gliding along the Grand Canal or exploring hidden waterways, Venice’s canals are both the heartbeat of the city and an enchanting gateway into its rich history and culture.
