Location
Hotel Canal’s excellent location makes it a perfect starting point to begin visiting and exploring the ancient city of Venice.
It’s a 2-minute walk from Piazzale Roma, where the vaporetti [ferry boats] depart to travel along the beautiful Grand Canal, the main waterway of Venice with its countless splendid buildings, leading to the Rialto Bridge, Piazza San Marco and arriving close to the main museums and monuments.
From Piazzale Roma, vaporetti also depart for Murano, the island famous the world-over for its glasswork. For those who like to walk, you can easily reach the main tourist attractions by foot.
