The Venice of the North refers to a series of cities in Northern Europe that are known for their canal systems, as is Venice itself with the Grand Canal.

Generally, the two most common 'Venices of the North' are Saint Petersburg, Russia, and Amsterdam, the Netherlands. The former has the frosty Moika and Fontanka Rivers, while the more southerly has the Singel, Prinsengracht and Zwanenburgwal Canals.

Other cities named as such include the Belgian Bruges, the Swedish Stockholm, the Danish Copenhagen, the German Hamburg and the British Manchester.
