Arriving in Venice

The Grand Canal

Tap picture to view video.
There's nothing like it on Earth. For centuries this has been Venice's central artery and although the palaces lining it have lost much of their lustre this ride remains a unique and unforgettable experience. Come with us as we cruise the entire length of the famous waterway, from Piazzale Roma to San Marco (St Mark's Square) on Vaporetto Line 1 (30 July 2012)
