TOUR n. 17

VENICE VIEWED FROM THE WATER

 

 

“…to come to Venice by land from the station is like entering a palace by the back door. No one should approach, save by the high seas, this most improbable of cities.”
Thomas Mann, "Death in Venice"

 

There is no doubt that Venice was built to be seen from the water where it is at its most spectacular and magnificent. This is a complete itinerary around and through the lagoon city for those who want to enjoy a unique experience, discovering the charm and silence of narrow canals immersed in shadow, observe the silhouettes of ancient rooftops against limpid skies.

The itinerary meanders through vibrant neighbourhoods, under bridges and past squares, a glimpse of secret gardens; glide down the Grand Canal with the centuries-old palaces on either side, the air full of the cries of gondoliers; soak up the sun on the open lagoon… A magic synthesis to the rhythm of the waves!

 

 

Due to a recent ordinance of the City Council, boat rides through the Grand Canal are allowed only after 5:00 pm

 

Duration: 1 hour
