Description

Discover Venice at its most authentic with a guided walk from the splendor of St. Mark’s Square to the majesty of the Rialto Bridge. Stroll through the golden heart of the city, where the Basilica, Doge’s Palace, and Campanile reveal centuries of history in one breathtaking square. From there, explore gems hidden in the maze of calli and campi. Admire the Basilica of Santi Giovanni e Paolo, Venice’s hospital and at the same time a monumental masterpiece. Uncover the postcard-perfect beauty of Palazzo Soranzo Van Axel, a Gothic jewel tucked away from the crowds. Trace the footsteps of the legendary Marco Polo in the Corte Seconda del Milion, before pausing like a true Venetian to sip a refreshing spritz—the unmissable Venetian cocktail—at a traditional bacaro. Finally, reach the Riva del Carbon and enjoy the iconic view of the Rialto Bridge, the symbol of Venice’s mercantile power. Your journey also includes the Venice Gallery, where an immersive virtual reality experience takes you back in time. Watch the transformation of St. Mark’s Square and glide along the Grand Canal through centuries of history, brought vividly to life. Add a visit to the blooming Palazzo Fortuny, a Gothic palace facing the Grand Canal. From the little pier in Campo San Beneto, enjoy a privileged view of the Rialto Bridge. Inside, discover Mariano Fortuny’s fascinating world of creativity, from theatrical inventions to eclectic collections that reflect the city’s timeless charm. Add the most iconic Venetian experience - a gondola ride. Glide along the Grand Canal, the city’s most beautiful waterway, and slip into romantic side canals for a perspective of Venice that’s truly unforgettable.
