The city of Venice in Italy was built on islands which were formed from the delta of an ancient river which flowed into the lagoon, and it is quite probable that today's Grand Canal follows the course of that river. The Grand Canal of Venice is 3800 meters long, between 30 and 70 meters wide and around 5 meters deep. It is considered the 'main highway' of the city.
Branching off the Grand Canal are the little, or side canals which form a network of waterways through the city of Venice in Italy. Some of these side canals are still quite wide and busy, with business establishments and private residences bringing a steady traffic to these areas, which could be compared to the local city streets.
There are approximately 400 bridges...
... crossing all the canals, and around 3000 alleys, some wider than others, for pedestrians. Farther away from the Grand Canal of Venice, there are narrow side canals which are just residential, and here there are little boats moored on the canals outside the houses, just as cars would be parked outside suburban homes in the rest of the world.
