Description

Step into the heart of Venice this winter with a guided walking tour through its historic center, where grand monuments and quiet corners reveal the city’s timeless charm. As you wander along narrow calli and across lively campi, your guide will bring to life stories of art, merchants, and daily life in La Serenissima. The route leads you to the majestic façade of the Scuola Grande di San Marco, once one of Venice’s most prestigious brotherhoods and today the city’s main hospital. Continue to the iconic Rialto Bridge, a lasting symbol of Venice’s mercantile power and one of the most scenic viewpoints along the Grand Canal. The experience concludes with an immersive virtual reality journey: put on your headset and watch Venice’s past unfold before your eyes; from the transformation of St. Mark’s Square to the splendor of the Grand Canal, blending history, innovation, and emotion. To make your visit even more special, you can choose to add a romantic gondola ride, gliding along the city’s serene winter canals and admiring Venice from a completely different perspective, the one only the water can offer.
