I've never been to Venice, but I was in Amsterdam a year and a half ago. Does anyone know of any other cities that have a large and prominent canal system? I'm just curious if there are any other cities that have them. Thanx.

You'll find many places in the Low Countries that have canals. Brugges (sp?) Belgium, for instance, which is famous for their lace making. Leiden, Netherlands, home of the country's top university.
You will also find canals in Lowell, Massachusetts, as it was once a factory town that used canals for transportation.

The city where I live, Ottawa, has a long canal called the Rideau Canal. In (our horrible, freezing, unlivable) winter, the Canal freezes and turns into the world's longest skating rink! It's a huge tourist attraction that brings millions of tourists.

Venice Beach, California
Ok, it never became a full city of canals like Abbot Kinney [?] imagined but it has the grand canal and some others. In addition there are a lot of walking street like the most famous Ocean Front Walk...
