Getting there
Almost no visitor sees these
Don’t miss
The footbridges over the smaller canals
the ones tourists miss entirely.
Walk the bridges on the inner canals, not just the main drag. Dell Ave is the best stretch. Early morning before 9 AM is quieter.
Good to know
Detour on the ride back. Abbot Kinney dug them in 1905 to recreate Venice, Italy. Footbridges, ducks, and some of the strangest houses in the city.
