What to expect

1
City of Venice

Getting lost in the calli of the lagoon and strolling through its narrow streets, to then emerge at a panoramic point or near a bridge is the best way to visit Venice and appreciate it at 360 °.

Duration 60 minutes
2
Piazza San Marco

San Marco is not the most famous square in Venice. It is the only one: all the others are campi and campielli; the only ones that can boast of being called piazzette owe this name to their connection with the main square. It is unique not only in name, but also in beauty, fame and importance: few other places in the world have entered the collective imagination with such force as St. Mark's Square. Although seen countless times in postcards, films, magazines, news reports and more recently on social channels, it always remains at the top of every ranking of places to see at least once in a lifetime. - https://www.veneto.info/venezia/cosa-vedere-venezia/piazza-basilica-san-marco/

Basilica di San Marco

After the overall view of the square, it is a must to enter the Basilica of San Marco, one of the largest, most famous and most beautiful churches in the world. Even if you have seen it countless times on sites and travel guides, the live view of St. Mark's Basilica will surprise you: on the outside it is an exaggeration of domes, arches and golden spiers; the interior is a triumph of mosaics and gold.

Ponte di Rialto

The Rialto Bridge was built between 1588 and 1591, based on a project by the architect Antonio da Ponte, to replace the previous wooden structure, which collapsed twice and burned on various occasions. The structure of the bridge is similar to the previous ones and consists of two inclined ramps joined by a portico in the center. Any time is good to visit the Rialto Bridge! On the bridge you can try to take pictures, among the many tourists who are trying to do the same.

Duration 45 minutes
Admission Admission Included

Mercati di Rialto

Crossing the Rialto Bridge from San Marco, you will reach the Rialto Market, a colorful place where fruit and vegetables are sold. The market has ancient origins and has been built in this place since 1097. It opens every day, from 9 to 12 in the morning, in the Campo de la Pescaria. In summer, even more than in other seasons, you will realize how difficult it is to resist the temptation to approach the colorful boxes of fresh fruit on the market!

Duration 45 minutes
Admission Admission Included
6

Canal Grande

The Grand Canal is Venice's number one tourist attraction: the most famous, the most original and the first you will come across. And it's free too! This is the wide S-shaped or snake-like canal that crosses the entire historic center of Venice, dividing it in two: it is the first thing you will see as soon as you leave the train station. Just under 4 km long, the Grand Canal is the main communication route in Venice: just follow its banks to get to the heart of the city and find all the other must-see attractions. A boat ride to admire the splendid palaces overlooking the Grand Canal is a must, and to get into the spirit of the city you can take the means most used by Venetians: the vaporetto.

Duration 60 minutes
Admission Admission Included

The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
