The Grand Canal is Venice’s main “freeway” that runs through the city. Take #1 for the scenic 45-minute joyride cruise, and #82 for a quick 25-minute trip up the canal. This is simply a must for Venice voyagers. At dusk the view of the Grand Canal is breathtaking. Admission: $10.50 (24hour pass), $5 (90min pass), $22(72hour pass), other routes vary

General Directions:

From St. Mark’s Square at the “San Marco/Vallaresso” boat stop, take boat#1 for a relaxing sightfilled 45-minute boat cruise across the Grand Canal.

Tips:

To get the best seat which is right up front, take the vaporetto to the last stop where everyone gets off then just move to the seat you want instead of getting off. It’s a slow, long ride but lets you soak in the city.
