Welcome to the capital of the Serenissima!
The history of Venice is a story of constant improvement. The open-air wonder you are about to stroll through was originally a village of Roman refugees fleeing the barbarian invasions. Do you want to find out how they turned their city into the commercial centre of the known world? Make your reservation now!
We will walk from the Grand Canal , the main artery of the city, to the vicinity of the San Marco complex . We will see palaces with a splendorous past such as the Pisani Palace , the church of San Maurizio with its not very straight bell tower and theatres that were the centre of high society's social life. Did you know that the motto of the Gran Teatro La Fenice is "Rise twice from my ashes"? Come and I will tell you its history, it was here that the famous opera " La Traviata " premiered!
The Doge's Palace is an essential stop on this tour. The centre of Venetian power was also a high-security prison, although... Casanova was able to escape and write a book about his feat. No wonder!
In St. Mark's Square we will admire the wonder of a glorious past like that of the Venetian Republic, which friends and enemies called " the Dominant ".
We will end with an incredible panoramic view from the Riva degli Schiavoni , a large promenade located in the old commercial port, the Bacino de San Marco.
Don't hesitate to book the best tour to understand and fall in love with this city, like me. Marco Polo, Marino Falier, Galileo and Madrid native Maria Malibran are waiting for you!
