Le Grand Canal sculpte une voie sinueuse à travers le cœur de Venise et constitue la principale artère de la ville. Parsemé de bateaux-taxis et de bateaux-bus, ce canal traverse le centre de la ville, s’étirant du lagon jusqu’au bassin, au niveau de la place Saint-Marc. Sur son chemin, ses eaux couleur jade longent des façades historiques et d’immenses places, qui prennent vie avec les voix des gondoliers. Médiévales, byzantines, gothiques, Renaissance, baroques ou encore néo-classiques, les structures qui bordent le Grand Canal reflètent la relation de la ville avec l’art à travers les âges. Figurant dans de nombreux films et romans, un tour en gondole sur le Grand Canal est une expérience typiquement vénitienne.
