The Grand Canal in Venice, Italy forms one
of the major water-traffic corridors in the city. Public transport is provided
by water buses and private water taxis, and many tourists explore the canal by
gondola.
One end of the canal leads into the lagoon near
the Santa Lucia railway station and the other end leads into Saint Mark Basin;
in between, it makes a large reverse-S shape through the central districts of
Venice. More
