Venice, Italy is probably best known for canals.

Indeed it is - the city is on a shallow lagoon. Surprisingly perhaps, also Birmingham and its conurbation in the English Midlands, and often stated as having as much if not more miles of canals than Venice. These were cut in the 18-19C to provide freight transport routes, and much of the network survives though now used for pleasure-cruising.
