* Palazzo Duclae - The Dog'es Palace is a rare example of civil Venetian Gothic.
* Grand Canal - This is Main Street Venice, a broad ribbon of colors, sounds and smells in the shape of an inverted 'S.'
* Peggy Guggenheim Collection - The eccentric millionarie art collector called Peggy Guggenheim called the unfished Palazzo Venier dei Leoni home for 30 years.
* Ghetto Nuovo - in 1516 all Venetian Jews were ordered to live in one area. Being surrounded by water, it was a natural prison. The Ashkenazi's hard Germanic pronunciation gave us the word 'ghetto.'
