Description
Let yourself be charmed by Venice, La Serenissima, where every canal tells a story and every alley invites wonder. For six nights, settle in Mestre, at the gateway to the lagoon, and enjoy a 7-day vaporetto pass to reach St. Mark's Square, the Grand Canal or the islands as often as you like.
On day three, a guided walking tour reveals the city's finest sights, including the Doge's Palace and its secret passages, rooms the general public never sees. The rest of the stay is yours: follow your tour escort or explore at your own pace, from the Basilica of Santa Maria della Salute to the Dorsoduro district and its last gondola workshop, or the Caffè Florian overlooking St. Mark's Square.
To extend your discovery, an optional private boat excursion takes you to Burano and its colourful houses, then on to Murano, the island of master glassmakers.
This Venice getaway combines guided visits, free time and the Italian art of living for a complete immersion in one of the most captivating cities in the world.
