Gritti Landing


A lone gondolier glides into the landing in front of Venice's
famous Gritti Palace Hotel.

This hotel, like many other well-known places of lodging,

was once a palazzo - home to a famous and powerful Venetian family.

The Gritti sits right next to the traghetto of Santa Maria del Giglio - one of my favorite gondola stations.

Hello, there is actually a high quality webcam at Hotel Gritti with views for this gondola landing.

Thanks for posting this, Tamás.
I will be watching it in the future.

I've been really impressed with the size and quality of this one:
