Dating back to the 16th century and depicted in various maps throughout history, it has become an iconic symbol of Venice's rich heritage. As you stroll along the canal's banks, you'll be captivated by the picturesque scenery that surrounds you. From the Campo della Carita to the Danieli Hotel, every corner offers a glimpse into Venetian life.

No matter where you are on this planet, nothing compares to experiencing firsthand the magic that unfolds along Venice's Grand Canal, and is here where history meets romance and beauty knows no bounds. So take your time exploring every inch and let yourself get lost in its timeless allure - for there truly is nothing quite like it anywhere else in the world.
