Venice Canals Walkway - offer a charming, peaceful respite to visitors. Marked on the National Register of Historic Places, the man-made canals were the brainchild of Abbot Kinney, who in 1905 decided to bring some of Italy's old-world charm to the LA social scene. Today, the area is home to some of the city's most scenic homes and is good for a stroll.
