WELCOME to VENETIAN LAGOONS: GRAND CANAL images Venice sits at the heart of a network of lagoons and is divided into six districts: three to the west of the Grand Canal and three to the east of the Grand Canal. The Grand Canal is the main street and teems with boats of all sizes and descriptions from gondolas (ultimate Venetian experience) to vaporetii (water buses) to motoscafi (power boats). Along the canal are the famous palazzi and hotels that were built and modified over 5 centuries. The canal is crossed by the famous Rialto bridge and lined by restaurants of all descriptions.
