The Heart of Venice
The Grand Canal serves as Venice's main waterway, a bustling thoroughfare that has connected the city's districts for over a thousand years. Historic palazzos in warm ochre, terracotta, and cream hues line both banks, their Gothic and Renaissance facades reflecting centuries of maritime republic prosperity.
