Description

Embark on a 12-kilometer (7.5-mile) journey through the waters of Venice, discovering some of the most beautiful and lesser-known places in the city. Start your adventure from Zattere and explore the island of Giudecca, with its quiet corners and stunning panoramic views of Venice. Sail along the Giudecca Canal, admiring the elegant facades of the ancient Venetian villas and the breathtaking profile of the city at sunset. Continue to the Dorsoduro district, one of the most authentic and picturesque areas of Venice. Observe the characteristic contrast between the quieter canals and the lively squares, exploring the heart of this neighborhood rich in art and history. Next, head to the Cannaregio district, one of the most fascinating and historically rich neighborhoods in Venice. Sail along its narrow and picturesque canals, between colorful houses and characteristic bridges, immersing yourself in the intimate and authentic atmosphere of this part of the city. Arrive at the famous Arsenale, the historic shipyard located in the Castello district. The Arsenale is one of the symbolic places of Venice's maritime power, an area that in the past hosted the workers and ships of the Serenissima Republic. With its imposing architecture and ancient buildings, the Arsenale tells the story of Venice's greatness as a naval and commercial power. Finally, conclude your tour with a breathtaking view from the Biennale Gardens, where you can admire the Bacino di San Marco, one of the most iconic places in the city.
