City of Venice

Your guide will pick you up at your centrally located accommodation in Venice and accompany you on a walk through the narrow streets of Venice, where you can breathe the atmosphere of an Italian city of the18th century, still extremely vital. Along the way, depending on your hotel location, you will explore churches, palaces and Campielli (Venician squares). NOTE: you will have a meeting point if your location is far from the city center or on an island.

Piazza San Marco

Piazza San Marco is the living room of Venice, a meeting place for tourists and Venetians. The Square is an open-air museum with the sea as a scenario. The bell tower, 324 feet high, is an exact copy of the tower, which suddenly collapsed in 1902. Together with the Basilica, it is one of the symbols of Venice. The magnificent clock tower was the platform for Galileo's studies. Two bronze "Moors" mark the hours with the same fifteenth-century mechanism on top. (tower and bell tower from the outside).

Palazzo Contarini del Bovolo

The Venice tour includes an off-the-beaten-track site beloved by the Venetians. This monumental staircase is a harmonious ensemble of the Renaissance, Gothic, and Venetian-Byzantine styles. Commissioned by Pietro Contarini in 1400 to flaunt the importance of its name, the Venetians added the nickname "del bovolo." The snail, whose shape it recalls, thus translates into Venetian. For those who wish, it is possible to climb it and enjoy a spectacular view over Venice's rooftops. We prefer to leave the climb as optional; you will decide on the spot whether to walk the 80 steps of the 26-meter high tower (8 euros for each participant).

Basilica di San Marco

Despite the total lack of architectural unity, the beauty of the Basilica is unique. The Byzantine influence is immediately evident and not only for the magnificent mosaics that decorate the facade and the entrance. Your private guide will tell you the history of the Saint and that of the Church. (visit from the outside, ask for entrance tickets, to be bought in advance upon availability.)

Doge's Palace

You will admire a great architecture in the square, the Ducal Palace, once the Doge's residence, the governor of the ancient Serenissima Republic. The oriental style of its façade is the perfect casket to house masterpieces such as Tintoretto and Veronese works. You will admire the characteristic Bridge of Sighs. It was the access ramp for the condemned who sighed while admiring the view for the last time before being imprisoned in prisons. You will see the Place from outside. The Doge's Palace's visit is possible on request and will be included in the tour, inevitably sacrificing at least one hour of the walk.

Frequently Asked Questions (8)

Q: Will I get seasick on Venice in One Day: City Walk, Murano & Burano with Lunch?

A: If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy. Read more Feb 2023
