Cut through the Borgo Teresiano in the eighteenth century so boats could unload straight into the merchant district, the Canal Grande is now lined with cafes, the Serbian Orthodox church of San Spiridione and the neoclassical Sant’Antonio Nuovo, and it holds 4.7 on Google across more than 6,700 reviews.
It’s free to walk along either side, and it makes an easy link between Piazza Unità and the shopping streets further into the Borgo Teresiano.
Local tip: The view down the canal towards Sant’Antonio Nuovo is best in the late afternoon light.
