Venice is world-famous as the "city of a thousand bridges". The Italian city was built on countless wooden piles, so that the various parts of the city are surrounded by water. Probably the most famous waterway in the metropolis is the Grand Canal, which winds its way through the area in an S-shape. Hundreds of boats bring people from one side to the other every day or serve as excursion boats for many tourists. The Grand Canal flows past pompous buildings and palaces from the Italian Renaissance and gives visitors a wonderful view of the city's architectural gems. Cannaregio is the most densely populated district (Sestiere of Venice) of Venice. Cannaregio is located in the north-west of Venice and is surpassed in area only by Castello. The name is said to derive from the condition of the sestiere before settlement, when it was still a marshy area where reeds (Italian canna: reeds) grew.
