St. Mark’s

The canals are certainly deserving of their own page. They are instantly recognizable worldwide as a distinct trademark of Venice. Wherever you go throughout the town you encounter canals and bridges full of nifty functional character. On foot is the best way, but the boat busses are very regular along the main canals. Be sure to visit Saint Mark's Square and Basilica.

Despite all the waterways dividing up the city into a grid, Venice is an excellent walking city. Everywhere are beautiful architectural touches, colorful people teeming about, or the smells of yummy food cooking up ahead, and suddenly — an intricate bridge spanning green water that you must cross. And there's some folks commuting via gondola...
