One day tours:
THE GRAND CANAL
The main artery of Venice, is what most visitors experience first, the bustling and splendid canal, the longest, broadest and deepest canal in the city. It runs at 4kms long and 30-70 metres in breadth and a maximum of 5 metres in depth. The Grand Canal has always been Venice's status adress, and along its looping banks the aristicrats, or Nobili Homini, as they called themselves, built a hundred marble palaces with their front doors looking onto the water, frsamed by the peppermint stick posts for the 12&Mac251; century, with their Byzantine influences, but most have the Venetian, Gothic or Lombardesque, or combination of these styles.


The trip along the Grand Canal is one of the most stirring moments Venice offers, at any hour of the day, and a chance for you to share the experiences of writers of the past.
 
THE RIALTO BRIDGE
Rialto was originally the name given to all the island on which the city was built. it established itself from the centre of trade for the inhabitants of the lagoon. Originally this part of the canal was spanned by a bridge of boats, then by the 13&Mac251; century a wooden bridge, and when that was on the point of collapsing, the Republic held a competition for the designing of a new stone structure. Antonio da Ponte, proposed a single arch spanning 48m. Built in 1592 it has since defied the predictions of the day and still stands, even with the extra weight of the two rows of shops.

FONDACO DEI TEDESCHI
The German Warehouse, to the left of the Rialto, the building is now the Post Office, but was once the busy trading centre of Venice. In 1505 the building was remodelled and decorated with frescoes by Giorgione and Titian, fragments of which can be found in Ca' d'Oro.
