Venice has one of the narrowest streets in the world
Anywhere you walk in Venice, you'll get a wonderful view. One of the world's tiniest streets may be found when exploring the 170 canals and 400-footbridges of this city. The narrow Calletta Varisco is only 53 cm (21 inches) across. As we previously stated, Calletta Varisco in Cannaregio, next to the Fondamenta Nova and Campiello del Petrin, is Venice's tiniest street. Two buildings being so near to one another may appear weird to us now, but we must remember that Venice has always had a severe lack of space and that accessibility to various locations on foot has always been of utmost importance. Because of this, Venice has more than 3000 calli with a total area of around 15 square kilometers.
The next-tiniest streets after Calletta Varisco include Calle de l'Ocio Grosso (58 cm) at Casello, Calle de la Raffineria (59 cm) at San Cassiano, and Calle Stretta, which runs from Campiello Albrizzi to the Sottoportico della Furatola in the sestiere San Polo and is "only" 65 cm wide. Then, among many other streets whose width is less than one meter, we may name Calle di Ca' Zusto, which is 68 cm wide and is located close to Riva di Biasio.
If you come across one of these calli as you are walking through Venice, don't be afraid to enter and see what the city is also about: ancient walls, tiny windows with frequently tiny plants adorning their frames, a scent of salty water that makes the shadow inside the calle very evocative, not to mention the magic silence that lessens the sound of your steps as you walk.
