Description

Begin your adventure by wandering past some of Venice’s most iconic landmarks without stopping, soaking in the city's majestic aura. No visit to Venice is complete without seeing the famous Rialto Bridge. A symbol of Venice’s merchant power, the Rialto Bridge is a Renaissance engineering masterpiece, connecting the two banks of the Grand Canal at what was once the city’s most vital trading point. Palazzo Fortuny – A Grand Canal Jewel (if option is selected) Those who choose the visit to Palazzo Fortuny will step inside one of Venice’s most extraordinary and lesser-known treasures. Elegantly facing the Grand Canal, this splendid palace was once the home and creative workshop of the visionary Mariano Fortuny – an artist, photographer, set designer, inventor, and fashion innovator.
