Classic Venice
Classic Venice

Iconic view of the Grand Canal from the Ponte dell' Accademia - except I took this from a water taxi while passing under that famous bridge. Standing tall in the background is a major icon of Venice, the basilica of Santa Maria della Salute.

In the center of the shot is yet another icon, a vaporetto heading straight for you. These water buses are an efficient way to get around Venice and multi-day passes can be purchased at your hotel (highly recommended if you stay for 3 days or more). The locals call them "Batèo".

The Grand Canal is the lungs, major artery and highway of Venice. The banks are lined with more than 170 buildings, most of which date from the 13th to the 18th century, and display up front the art and architecture created by the Republic of Venice thoughout its history.
