Sightseeing

Message from Justice & Hannah Lynn Arceri

The Grand Canal in Venice, Italy is like the city's main highway, but with water instead of cars. It's a big, curvy waterway that cuts through Venice and connects different parts of the city. You'll see all kinds of boats cruising along, from traditional gondolas to speedy police and emergency services vessels. The canal is lined with fancy palaces, churches, and other cool buildings in different architectural styles. And don't forget about the famous Rialto Bridge—it's like the star attraction of the canal!
