Why go
The Venetian Grand Canal deserves time because it offers a highly engineered sequence of canals, painted skies, arcades and replicas designed as an indoor pedestrian world. Changes in light, ceiling treatment and paving blur the transition between exterior and interior. Bridges, façades and water routes show how themed architecture directs movement and attention.
