About This Attraction

The Grand Canal is the main waterway in Venice, Italy, stretching approximately 3.8 kilometers through the city. It forms an S-shape and divides the city into two parts, winding past some of Venice's most famous structures such as the Basilica di Santa Maria della Salute and the historic Rialto Bridge. Accessible by various modes of transport like vaporettos, water taxis, and gondolas, it offers spectacular views of Venetian architecture. Since the Grand Canal is a natural waterway, there are no specific Grand Canal opening hours, but public transport operates regularly along it.

Navigating the Grand Canal provides an insight into Venice's unique way of life. The canal is lined with more than 170 buildings, many of which date back to the 13th to 18th centuries and showcase styles ranging from Gothic to Renaissance. It serves as a vital passage for both locals and tourists, making it one of the busiest canals in Venice. While there are no direct visiting hours, planning a trip around the schedules of the vaporettos can enhance your experience.
