Hiking
The Grand Canal is the main waterway that crosses the heart of Venice. About four kilometers long and with a characteristic inverted "S" shape, it divides the historic center into two parts, each comprising three of the city's six sestieri.
It represents the ancient commercial and vital axis of the Serenissima, along which over two hundred majestic patrician palaces built between the 12th and 18th centuries overlook. These buildings, which blend Byzantine, Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque styles, bear witness to the wealth and art of the great Venetian families.
