Venice 6-hours tour with Doges Palace and Murano Island
Overview
Begin your adventure at the iconic Piazza San Marco, where shimmering golden mosaics and the towering bell tower welcome you to the magic of Venice. Step inside the Doge’s Palace, wander through its majestic halls, and cross the legendary Bridge of Sighs for a glimpse into the city’s rich history.
Next, meander to Campo Santa Maria Formosa, a lively square brimming with character, charm, and centuries of stories. Continue along Fondamenta Nove, where panoramic lagoon views meet the rhythm of Venetian life on the water.
End your journey with a scenic boat ride to Murano, the world-famous island of glass. Watch master artisans transform molten glass into dazzling works of art — and take home your own piece of Venetian magic.
