The Grand Canal of Venice is the main and largest canal in the city, with a length of approximately 4 kilometres. This canal runs through Venice in the shape of an inverted “S”, dividing the city into two parts. Along its route, you can see numerous historic palaces and emblematic buildings, such as the Ca’ d’Oro Palace and the Grassi Palace.

The best time to hike here is during the week. My advice is not to walk fast, it's not a competition, just enjoy the views.
