It winds its way through the city from\nSt. Mark&#8217;s Square in the south to the Liberty Bridge, which connects Venice to\nthe mainland in the northwest. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Grand Canal divides the City of the Doges in two,\nwith the districts of Santa Croce, San Polo, and Dorsoduro on the left bank, and\nthe districts of Cannaregio, Castello, and San Marco on the right bank. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In total, seven bridges cross the Grand Canal, but only four of them\nare pedestrian bridges: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The famous Rialto Bridge (<em>Ponte di Rialto<\/em>)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Constitution Bridge (<em>Ponte della Costituzione<\/em>)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Scalzi Bridge (<em>Ponte degli Scalzi<\/em>)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Academy Bridge (<em>Ponte dell\u2019Accademia<\/em>)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>However, the Grand Canal&#8217;s fame isn&#8217;t just due to its monumental size. It&#8217;s also because of the approximately 170 historic buildings that line its banks, including luxurious palaces and ancient churches, that the Grand Canal is worth a visit! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Exploring the Grand Canal of Venice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Along the Grand Canal, you won&#8217;t find any quays or sidewalks:\nmost of the buildings lining it are constructed directly at\nthe water&#8217;s edge. Therefore, the best way to explore the Grand Canal is\nby boat, much to the delight of Captain Ulysses, who is\na sailor at heart! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To discover the Grand Canal of Venice, you have\nthree options: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Explore the canal on your own aboard\na vaporetto (a boat that serves as public transportation)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Embark on a guided tour of the Grand\nCanal<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Indulge in a gondola ride <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"769\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ulysses.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Grand-Canal-de-Venise-depuis-le-Rialto-1024x769.jpg\" alt=\"Grand Canal of Venice - from the Rialto\" class=\"wp-image-2801\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Exploring the Grand Canal on Your Own<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you love freedom and\/or are on a budget,\nCaptain Ulysses recommends discovering the Grand Canal on\nyour own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Vaporetto lines 1, 2, and N travel the entire length of the Grand Canal, allowing you to explore it at a modest price compared to organized tours. However, vaporettos can be quite crowded, and you may not find a quiet spot to peacefully admire the view.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you plan to use public transportation (bus and\/or vaporetto) multiple times, Captain Ulysses suggests getting a transport pass: this option is more convenient and cost-effective than buying individual tickets for each trip. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\ud83d\udc49 <mark><a href=\"https:\/\/www.getyourguide.com\/venice-l35\/venice-waterbus-and-mainland-bus-pass-t451258\/?partner_id=H5WO0BT&amp;utm_medium=online_publisher\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Book your vaporetto and\/or bus tickets<\/a><\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"769\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ulysses.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Grand-Canal-Venise-1024x769.jpg\" alt=\"Grand Canal - Venice\" class=\"wp-image-2799\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Guided Tour on the Grand Canal of Venice<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For a serene discovery of the Grand Canal, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.getyourguide.fr\/venise-l35\/une-heure-en-bateau-sur-le-grand-canal-de-venise-t6851\/?partner_id=H5WO0BT&amp;utm_medium=online_publisher&amp;utm_source=contact%40ulysses.travel&amp;placement=content-middle\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" aria-label=\" (s\u2019ouvre dans un nouvel onglet)\">a guided tour<\/a> is undoubtedly the ideal option. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Aboard a small motorboat, these guided tours\n(available in several languages) take you through the waters of the Grand Canal,\nuncovering the bridges, palaces, churches, and historic buildings that line it.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The boats are small, allowing for a much more relaxed view than on a vaporetto.
