Wander through narrow streets and quiet corners with a local guide who skillfully avoids the crowds, allowing you to discover the city’s authentic charm. Visit the church of San Pantalon, home to the world’s largest oil on canvas, and admire the dedication and detail that took over 25 years to complete. Explore architectural marvels such as Palazzo Contarini del Bovolo with its stunning external spiral staircase and enjoy breathtaking views from the panoramic terrace of Fontego dei Tedeschi.
Discover unique local experiences as you explore Venice’s lesser-known neighborhoods. Visit the historic hospital district, marvel at the extraordinary bookshop Acqua Alta with its creative gondola and bathtub book displays, and experience the lively Rialto Fish Market during mornings from Tuesday to Saturday. Cross the Grand Canal by gondola alongside locals, immersing yourself in the everyday life of Venice.
