Google has brought the canals of Venice to street view, taking their Street View Trekker on gondolas to capture the city from the water.

As we reported last month, Google has started to add waterways to street view, beginning with the River Thames of London. Adding Venice means you can now explore many of the city’s canals as if you were floating along them. Google covered 265 miles on foot, and 114 by boat. You can see such sights as the Synagogue of the first Jewish Ghetto, and the Devil’s Bridge in Torcello island.

Google added a video to YouTube that shows you how the city was brought to Street View, which you can see below.

Google Maps is available on the web, as well as for Android, iOS and Windows Phone.
