Grand Canal: The iconic Grand Canal in a huge reverse S curve crosses right through the heart of Venice. This 3.8-km-long canal is connected with four bridges, and can be accessed through gondolas. You will come across the palaces of influential families in Venice with their opening onto the canal. The best way to see the well preserved grand palaces is by taking a vaporetto trip along the canal. The Grand Canal presents a romantic and awesome sight when taking a gondola ride at night.
St. Mark's Square: The vast Piazza San Marco or St. Mark’s Square is the largest square in Venice with uniform elegant architecture on its three sides.
