The
allure of the GRAND CANAL never fades.� The canal,
Venice's version of Main Street, slices through the heart of the
city, dividing it in two.� It is crossed by
three bridges and
seven ferry points.� The canal is lined with magnificent
palaces, built over the course of 500 years and each a masterpiece
of architecture and style.� During the day, the canal is as
busy as the main street of any city, with water busses, taxis,
ferries, and gondolas motoring up and down the waterway.� At
night, the Grand Canal is the definition of romance, with its open
air restaurants and lights twinkling on the water.�
