Detailed itinerary

1
Stop 1

Beneath Rialto’s beauty lie dark secrets—collapses, whispers of human sacrifice, and a butcher with a chilling recipe. Cross if you dare… but listen closely. The bridge remembers.

2
Stop 2

Laughter fills this square by day, but at night, shadows stretch long. Whispers linger, footsteps follow, and Goldoni’s statue may not be as still as it seems. Campo San Bartolomeo remembers.

3

Teatro Malibran glows with glamour, but behind the curtain, footsteps echo and Box 16 harbors a ghostly guest. Some say the theatre never truly empties.

4

San Zanipolo feels quiet—but after dark, whispers rise, shadows stir, and a crowned figure drifts through the mist. Some say the Doges never truly left this square.

5

At Rio dei Mendicanti, the water whispers of plague, loss, and the forgotten dead. Some say shadows still drift by boat, and the canal remembers every soul it once carried.

6

From Fondamenta Nuova, coffins once drifted into the mist. Some say a child left behind still lingers, watching the boats, weeping softly, waiting for peace that never came.

7

A priest was murdered here under this arch - and no one knows why. His hooded shadow still lingers, watching in silence. Step through… but don’t be surprised if something follows.

8

This crumbling abbey was once sacred ground—now it’s sealed, silent, and avoided by locals. Cold spots, whispers, and unseen eyes linger here. Some ghosts, they say, never left.

9

Stone statues watch from the walls—said to be cursed merchants, frozen for their greed. At night, whispers echo and spices linger. Welcome to Campo dei Mori, where the city’s secrets stare back.

10
Stop 10

Locals call it the “other” Bridge of Sighs where barefoot monks once crossed in silence. On foggy nights, some say you can still hear their breath rising from the canal below.

11
Stop 11

A glimmer of white leads you to San Rocco a brotherhood’s haunt, plague ghosts, and Tintoretto’s eerie masterpieces. Step carefully. Some say the doctor still walks these halls.

12

This quiet bridge once hosted brutal clan fights. Locals say the screams and shadows still echo - especially when the fog rolls in. Cross it, but don’t cross alone.

13

San Barnaba looks peaceful, but beneath its quiet square lies a past of plague, loss, and sorrow. Locals still whisper of tolling bells, haunted dolls and a fog that never fully lifts.

14

Ponte dell’Accademia hides haunted echoes. Across the canal, Palazzo Contarini watches—its halls echo with lost love, poison, and whispered music from ghosts that never left.

15

Palazzo Grassi holds a gentler ghost—an elegant lady said to still dance in silence. Visitors feel her presence in rose-scented air, soft touches, and phantom music drifting through the halls.

16

Hidden behind quiet walls, the Bovolo staircase once sheltered doomed lovers. Now, it's a spiral of sorrow - where whispers echo, shadows linger, and beauty masks heartbreak.

17

Wander Castello’s haunted alleys, where headless bakers roam, dragons once stirred, and ghosts retrace forgotten steps. In Venice’s oldest sestiere, even the stones remember.
