Detailed itinerary

1
Stop 1

After a 4 hours train ride from Rome, start your tour in Venice!
Grand Canal, the largest canal in Venice, built in Venetian-Gothic style.
Venice’s canals, which cross the city like streets, are one of the most notable feature of Venice. The largest is the Grand Canal, which divides the city in two, with its four kilometers in length.

2

Campanile di San Giorgio dei Greci, or the 'leaning clocktower', was designed by Simone Sorella and completed in 1592. It apparently started tilting from the beginning of its construction.
Like its adjoining church, the bell tower was built by and for the Greek community in Venice, primarily sailors and merchants.
You will also have the chance to see the Sanctuary of St.Lucy.

3

The widest street in Venice. The entire route, which is made up of wide streets connected by bridges, was created during the 19th century to create rapid pedestrian access between Rialto and the railway station, demolishing the buildings that would otherwise delimit a long tortuous path between narrow streets.

Stop 4

The Rialto bridge is the oldest of the four bridges spanning the Grand Canal in Venice.
It is famous for both its architecture and its history. For years it was the hub of Venice's economy.

Stop 5

St. Mark's square is the principal public square in Venice and is one of the most fascinating squares in the world, so much so that Napoleon Bonaparte defined it as "the most beautiful hall in Europe".
The Patriarchal Cathedral Basilica of Saint Mark, commonly known as St Mark's Basilica, is the cathedral church of the Patriarchate of Venice. The interior of the domes, the vaults, and the upper walls were slowly covered with gold-ground mosaics depicting saints, prophets, and biblical scenes.

Stop 6

Called the Bridge of Sighs by locals, this emblematic monument of Venice was built in the 1600s and connects the Doge's Palace with the historic prison on the other side of the canal.
It was given this name because tradition has it that, at the time of the Serenissima, the prisoners, crossing it, sighed at the prospect of seeing the outside world for the last time.

7
Stop 7

The Church of San Zaccaria is a 15th-century former monastic church in central Venice. It is a large edifice, located in the Campo San Zaccaria.
The present church was built between 1458 and 1515. The facade is a harmonious Venetian mixture of late-Gothic and Renaissance styles.

The Ponte dell'Accademia is one of only four bridges to span the Grand Canal in Venice. It crosses near the southern end of the canal, and is named for the Accademia di Belle Arti di Venezia.

9

The squero of San Trovaso is one of the oldest and most famous Venetian squeros. The squero is the classic shipyard where small-sized boats such as gondolas are repaired.
Have a peek at how a gondola is made or repaired!
