Our idea of tourism in Venice
Our approach to tourism is deeply rooted in the belief that travel can be a rich and active experience, which stimulates the mind as much as the body.
Walking through the streets of Venice, getting lost and found again, is not only the best way to discover the hidden secrets of the city, but also to appreciate its art, culture and vibrant Venetian history in an authentic and immediate way.
With this guide, we invite you to explore some of the most iconic places in Venice, capable of making every visit a personal and unique adventure.
Doge’s Palace Venice
The Doge’s Palace, the ancient residence of the famous Doges of Venice and the fulcrum of the political power of the Serenissima, is one of the most emblematic symbols of the city.
An extraordinary example of Venetian Gothic architecture, the Doge’s Palace – which stands at the foot of St. Mark’s Square – not only enchants for its external beauty, but also for its richly decorated interiors full of works of art, which tell of the power and influence of the Republic of Venice in history.
St. Mark’s Basilica
Adjacent to the Doge’s Palace, St. Mark’s Basilica is one of Venice’s most significant masterpieces. With its gilded mosaics and impressive Byzantine-style architecture, the basilica is both a place of worship and a powerful symbol of Venice’s historical and spiritual wealth and power.
In fact, every detail of the building tells biblical stories and of Venice’s glorious past, attracting visitors from all over the world every day.
The Rialto Bridge
The Rialto Bridge is much more than one of the most photographed bridges in the world; it is an icon of Venetian engineering and history.
Originally built of wood, the bridge that spans the Grand Canal has always been known for its shops and intense commercial activity. Rebuilt in stone in the sixteenth century, today it continues to be a centre of commerce and a observation point to admire the liveliness of the canal.
A day at the museums of Venice
Taking a day to explore Venice’s civic museums is certainly a very interesting way to understand the cultural depth of the city.
In addition to the Doge’s Palace, you cannot miss a visit to the Accademia Galleries, where you can admire, among the countless works of art that have defined the Venetian and Italian Renaissance, also the famous Vitruvian Man by Leonardo da Vinci.
Peggy Guggenheim Collection
The famous Peggy Guggenheim Collection brings together some of the most important works of modern art of the twentieth century.
Located on the Grand Canal, the museum houses works of Picasso, Pollock and Dalí, offering a unique perspective on one of the most interesting and particular artistic movements of the last centuries.
Visit to the islands of Venice
Murano, Burano and Torcello are three of the most particular and well-known islands in the Venetian lagoon.
Each with its own unique personality and history, these islands offer a different, more traditional and authentic perspective of the territory, thus allowing visitors to discover a lesser-known but equally sensational side of Venice.
Venice by night
When the sun goes down, Venice wraps itself in a particular mystery and splendour.
This city, in fact, already fascinating by day, acquires a whole new dimension at night, offering an experience that only a few places in the world can match.
Shows at the theatre, romantic dinners in the streets, night rides in a gondola or vaporetto… All evocative experiences that invite you to discover the most intimate and unique side of Venice.
Venetian beaches
Venice, universally known for its canals and rich history, also offers a surprisingly inviting seaside dimension. During the summer months, when the city comes alive and the temperatures rise, the beaches become a perfect refuge for those who want to combine cultural discovery with moments of pure relaxation.
Venetian beaches, such as those of Lido and Cavallino Treporti, offer diverse landscapes and leisure opportunities for all tastes. The Lido of Venice, for example, easily accessible by vaporetto, is not only famous for its Film Festival but also for its elegant bathing establishments and wide golden beaches.
