Grand Canal Venice

In an increasingly hurried and busy world it is important to take time out to relax, to recharge one’s batteries, chill out and perhaps enjoy a little self-indulgence.

 

Known as The City Of Bridges, Venice has hundreds to explore. The Accademia Bridge links the San Marco district to the Accademia Gallery, and offers some of the Grand Canal’s finest views. The oldest of the Grand Canal’s four crossings is the Rialto Bridge, which today still serves as the gateway to the Rialto Markets. The most famous of all is the Bridge of Sighs, which connects Doge’s Palace to the historic prison.
