You can take a ride on it starting at \u20ac9.50 with the <em>Vaporetto<\/em>, the Venetian waterbus\u2014including the Rialto Bridge and a dozen palace facades.<\/p>\n<p>This article tells you how much the ride costs, which route is worth taking, why a gondola ride costs 90 euros while a ferry ride costs two euros, and on which days the canal is completely closed to regular service.

According to the measurements of the <span class=\"notranslate\">Treccani<\/span> It is 3,800 meters long, between 30 and 70 meters wide, and no more than five meters deep\u2014shallower than most people expect. Forty-five smaller canals branch off from it, which <em>rii<\/em>, and they distribute traffic among the six city districts.<\/p>\n<p>A depth of five meters may not sound like much, but it\u2019s enough for everything that travels here: commuter boats, delivery barges, garbage boats, ambulances, and gondolas. There are no cars, and no bicycles either. Anyone moving to Venice does so via this canal, and if you order a pizza, it\u2019ll eventually be delivered to you via it as well.<\/p>\n<p>The curve he describes is no coincidence: it follows the course of an ancient river through the lagoon. That is why the city is laid out the way it is\u2014the merchant houses along the water, the churches in the squares behind them. Venice and its lagoon have been on the UNESCO World Heritage List since 1987, listed under number 394.

That\u2019s why getting around Venice on foot is so exhausting: if you\u2019re on the wrong side, you might have to walk a kilometer to the next crossing.<\/p>\n<p>The best-known one is the <strong><span class=\"notranslate\">Rialto Bridge<\/span><\/strong>, the Rialto Bridge in the heart of the city. Its architect was <span class=\"notranslate\">Antonio da Ponte<\/span>, back then <em>proto al Sal<\/em> \u2013 the Republic\u2019s chief engineer. In 1587, the Senate put the new bridge out to bid; on January 20, 1588, it selected da Ponte\u2019s single-arch design, and by the end of 1590, the arch had been completed. The single, wide arch was a gamble: it allowed merchant ships to pass without placing any piers in the shipping lane.<\/p>\n<p>The other three are named <span class=\"notranslate\">Ponte degli Scalzi<\/span> at the train station\u2014the Treccani lists it simply as <em>Station Bridge<\/em> \u2013, the <span class=\"notranslate\">Ponte dell\u2019Accademia<\/span> in front of the Gallerie dell\u2019Accademia and the <span class=\"notranslate\">Constitution Bridge<\/span> between the train station and the bus station, commonly referred to as the Calatrava Bridge after its designer. It is the newest and most controversial: After numerous falls, the city government decided in October 2018 to replace individual glass steps with trachyte, a non-slip volcanic rock, on a trial basis. The retrofit took years to complete.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"row vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid\"><div class=\"jeg-vc-wrapper\"><div class=\"wpb_column jeg_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"jeg_wrapper wpb_wrapper\">\n\t<div  class=\"wpb_single_image wpb_content_element vc_align_right wpb_content_element\">\n\t\t\n\t\t<figure class=\"wpb_wrapper vc_figure\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"vc_single_image-wrapper\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/italien.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/rialtobruecke-canal-grande-venedig-1.jpg\" class=\"vc_single_image-img attachment-full\" alt=\"The Rialto Bridge, built of light-colored stone, spans the Grand Canal in Venice\" title=\"Rialto Bridge \u2013 Ponte di Rialto over the Grand Canal\" srcset=\"https:\/\/italien.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/rialtobruecke-canal-grande-venedig-1.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/italien.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/rialtobruecke-canal-grande-venedig-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/italien.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/rialtobruecke-canal-grande-venedig-1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/italien.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/rialtobruecke-canal-grande-venedig-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/italien.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/rialtobruecke-canal-grande-venedig-1-18x10.jpg 18w, https:\/\/italien.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/rialtobruecke-canal-grande-venedig-1-750x422.jpg 750w, https:\/\/italien.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/rialtobruecke-canal-grande-venedig-1-1140x641.jpg 1140w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/div><figcaption class=\"vc_figure-caption\">The Rialto Bridge over the Grand Canal \u00b7 \u00a9 Italien.news\/canva<\/figcaption>\n\t\t<\/figure>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"row vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid\"><div class=\"jeg-vc-wrapper\"><div class=\"wpb_column jeg_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"jeg_wrapper wpb_wrapper\">\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"inw-h\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Welche_Palaste_siehst_du_vom_Wasser_aus\"><\/span>Which palaces can you see from the water?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The riverbanks have been built up over the course of six centuries, and because every family made the side of their house facing the water look impressive, there is now a row of facades with no backsides.

the price applies to the boat, not per person\u2014for five people, that\u2019s \u20ac18 per person; for one person, it\u2019s \u20ac90. Anyone who wants a longer ride pays additional fees based on the time used. This is based on a city council resolution from 2023, which remains in effect unchanged in 2026.<\/p>\n<p>The abbreviation stands for <strong><span class=\"notranslate\">Parada Ferry<\/span><\/strong>: a work gondola that crosses the canal where there isn\u2019t a bridge in sight. Two euros for visitors, seventy cents for locals, and traditionally, Venetians stand during the crossing. It\u2019s the cheapest gondola ride in the world and takes less than two minutes\u2014but it counts.<\/p>\n<p>Five crossings will be in operation in 2026; <span class=\"notranslate\">San Samuele<\/span> and <span class=\"notranslate\">San Marcuola<\/span>, which still appear in older guidebooks, have been discontinued. On Ferragosto (August 15), as well as on Christmas and New Year's Day, the ferries do not run at all; on Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve, they run only until 1:00 p.m.<\/p>\n<p>For those in a hurry, there is <em>motorboats<\/em>, the water taxis. The city also sets maximum fares for these services; these dates back to decisions made in 2011 and are posted at every taxi stand\u2014from Tronchetto and Piazzale Roma to Ferrovia, Rialto, and San Marco. It\u2019s worth checking the posted rates before boarding.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"row vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid\"><div class=\"jeg-vc-wrapper\"><div class=\"wpb_column jeg_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"jeg_wrapper wpb_wrapper\">\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"inw-card inw-card--plain\" style=\"border: 1px solid #E3E9DF;

You don\u2019t need to buy rubber boots\u2014there are vendors selling shoe covers on every corner, and the water usually recedes after a few hours.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"row vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid\"><div class=\"jeg-vc-wrapper\"><div class=\"wpb_column jeg_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"jeg_wrapper wpb_wrapper\">\n\t<div  class=\"wpb_single_image wpb_content_element vc_align_right wpb_content_element\">\n\t\t\n\t\t<figure class=\"wpb_wrapper vc_figure\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"vc_single_image-wrapper\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/italien.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/acqua-alta-venedig-hochwasser.jpg\" class=\"vc_single_image-img attachment-full\" alt=\"A flooded alley during Acqua Alta in Venice; the water is above the pavement\" title=\"Acqua alta \u2013 Flooding in Venice\" srcset=\"https:\/\/italien.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/acqua-alta-venedig-hochwasser.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/italien.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/acqua-alta-venedig-hochwasser-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/italien.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/acqua-alta-venedig-hochwasser-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/italien.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/acqua-alta-venedig-hochwasser-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/italien.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/acqua-alta-venedig-hochwasser-18x10.jpg 18w, https:\/\/italien.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/acqua-alta-venedig-hochwasser-750x422.jpg 750w, https:\/\/italien.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/acqua-alta-venedig-hochwasser-1140x641.jpg 1140w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/div><figcaption class=\"vc_figure-caption\">Acqua alta in the alleys of Venice \u00b7 \u00a9 Italien.news\/canva<\/figcaption>\n\t\t<\/figure>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"row vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid\"><div class=\"jeg-vc-wrapper\"><div class=\"wpb_column jeg_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"jeg_wrapper wpb_wrapper\">\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"inw-h\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Fur_wen_sich_die_Fahrt_lohnt\"><\/span>Who Should Take This Trip<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The Grand Canal isn't just another item to check off your list; it's the route you'll naturally take as you make your way around Venice.

The most sought-after seats are the benches at the open stern, and those are taken by the second stop. Solution: board at the terminal stop, Piazzale Roma, instead of at Ferrovia\u2014the boat is still empty there, and the ride doesn\u2019t cost a cent more.<\/p>\n<p>Second, the gondola. 90 \u20ac for 30 minutes isn\u2019t a negotiable price\u2014it\u2019s the official rate\u2014and anyone who quotes you a different price on the spot is either miscalculating or being dishonest. If that\u2019s too much for you, take the Traghetto for two euros\u2014it\u2019s the same type of boat, the same rowing position, just sideways instead of lengthwise.<\/p>\n<p>And third: The canal isn\u2019t just a backdrop\u2014it\u2019s a commuting route. Garbage boats, delivery barges, and ambulances navigate between the gondolas, and on a typical workday, it\u2019s noisy on the water. But that\u2019s exactly what makes it more interesting than any postcard scene\u2014you get to watch a city in action.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"row vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid\"><div class=\"jeg-vc-wrapper\"><div class=\"wpb_column jeg_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"jeg_wrapper wpb_wrapper\">\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"inw-card inw-card--warm\" style=\"border: 1px solid #ECE6DC; border-radius: 2px; padding: 30px 32px; background: linear-gradient(150deg, #FBF8F3 0%, #FFFEFC 55%, #FFFFFF 100%); color: #2b3138; line-height: 1.7;\">\n<div class=\"inw-kicker\" style=\"display: block; font-size: 11px; font-weight: 600; letter-spacing: 0.2em; text-transform: uppercase; color: #8a6b41; margin: 0 0 12px;\">EDITOR'S INSIDER TIP<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"inw-h\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Die_letzte_Linie_1_vor_Mitternacht\"><\/span>The last Line 1 before midnight<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<hr class=\"inw-hr\" style=\"width: 34px; height: 2px; border: 0; background: #8A6B41; margin: 0 0 20px;\" \/>\n<p style=\"margin: 0 0 14px;\">Around 10:30 p.m., board Line 1 heading toward the Lido at the Ferrovia.
