It is the main artery of Venice, and snakes its way like a huge S through the city: the Canal Grande, the Main Street of this unique city.
The Canal Grande, or Grand Canal, is the main artery of Venice. Not only does it provide the fastest connection between the northwestern side of the city and Saint Mark Basin, it is also the main transportation hub of the city. Public boats or vaporetti, water taxis and gondolas, but also cargo ships, police boats and ambulance boats use the Canal Grande as the highway of the city. From here, smaller canals fan out in all directions; they all pale in comparison to the size of the Canal Grande. It is less than 4 km long, and has a width between 30 and 90 metres. There are surprisingly few bridges crossing the canal: at present only three, while a fourth is under construction. The most famous of all is, of course, the Rialto Bridge, roughly halfway from the station to Piazza San Marco.
