The Grand Canal is long, wide and Grand. The grandest houses and palaces are built on its banks. From there a maze or network of canals extend. Some fairly large with a bus (vaporetto) and parking (for boats) with a path either side. Then there is a whole range right down to little canals with no parking, no path and no grand buildings. Here is a collection of pictures of the lesser canals.
Take the time to walk in Venice, walk all over, get lost ! Get beyond the glamour and see the background. We really enjoyed our walks around the neighbourhoods.
