- Santa Maria della Salute. As your vaporetto leaves the San Marco stop, it heads across the mouth of the Grand Canal, aiming almost directly at the monumental Baroque church of Santa Maria della Salute, built as thanks for the end of the plague of 1630.
- Peggy Guggenheim Collection. Just past Santa Maria della Salute is the low white Ca' Venier dei Leoni, a contemporary building on earlier foundations.

Most of the houses which now line the Canal are named after the original families who first settled here and grew this great city. Taking a trip down the Canal is like taking a trip back in time. And while it is an essential thing to do while in Venice, it doesn’t mean spending a pretty penny, renting out a gondolier for an hour or taking a cheesy ...
Set out as early as you can manage. Venice is a busy, busy city and the earlier you start your day the more you’ll have the city to yourself. We’re staring our tour at the Northern most point of Venice, at the Ferrovia Scalzi Terminal, and traveling east along theGrand Canal. Get a seat near the edge of the boat to get the full view of the wonderfu...
The Scalzi Bridge is the first of three bridges you’ll pass under on your tour of the Grand Canal. While there are dozens of bridges to be found throughout Venice, there are only three which cross the extremely wide Grand Canal. The Scalzi Bridge is thin and is one of the more modern designs along the river. The original bridge built here was calle...
As you continue along the canal you’ll pass the back end exterior ofSan Geremia Church. Its stunning white dome with slim silver cross atop is one of the landmarks of this little area of Venice. This church was built in 1753 and houses the remains of Saint Lucy. The layers of architectural styles and colours on this church make it look like a layer...
Below is the Fondaco dei Turchi, once the seat of Venice’s Turkish population. Originally built in the first half of the 13th century, it is a perfect example of Byzantine design. rich use of colour and intricate stone work was of the utmost importance in Byzantine design. In the 17th century the vast majority of the Turkish population turned this ...
Continuing along the Northern portion of the canal we pass San Stae. San Stae was built in 11th century and was once a rather subdued and unassuming building. But in the 17th century it was renovated by the Swiss master Domenico Rossi. Its powerful and striking baroque statues which cover the facade are unique due to their active forms which jump a...
Right next to San Stae is the Ca’ Pesaro. The Ca’ Pesaro was once the residence of Leonardo Pesaro,to whom the building is still named after. Ca’, you’ll hear this word frequently throughout Venice. Ca’ is short for ‘casa’, the word for house in Italian. This building is uniquely designed with repetitive and heavy use of pillars that adorned the en...
While floating along the river you’ll pass by various less opulent, black gondolas being operated by men in simple black and white striped shirts. These are called ‘Traghettos‘. Inside these gondolas are business men, local, residents and even some tourists. These are not the tourist gondolas which go for hundreds of euros an hour, these gondolas c...
The Ca D’orois one of the most fantastical buildings on the canal. The pale, multicoloured marbles along the facade makes it looks like a softer water colour paiting floating on the river. Ca’ d’Oro means ‘House of Gold’ as the facade was once covered in a thin coating of gold leaf. The palace was originally built in 1428 for the Contarini family, ...
The facades in Venetian architecture are one of the best ways to identify which period the building was made in. Byzantine houses featured thin, horseshoe shaped arches with simple motifs on the capitals. Gothic houses have intricate rib traceries on top of their arches (as can be seen in the Palazzo Morosini Brandolinbelow) along with quatrefoil d...
