Water bus trip from the Railway Station (Ferrovia) to Piazza San Marco, on the Grand Canal.
The Grand Canal forms one of the major water-traffic corridors in the city. Public transport is provided by water buses (Italian: vaporetti) and private water taxis, and many tourists explore the canal by gondola.
The banks of the Grand Canal (Italian: Canal Grande) are lined with more than 170 buildings, most of which date from the 13th to the 18th century, and demonstrate the welfare and art created by the Republic of Venice. The noble Venetian families faced huge expenses to show off their richness in suitable palazzos.
It is 3,800 m long, 30–90 m wide, with an average depth of five meters (16.5 ft).
