Itinerary
Visit the heart of the city, one of the most magnificent public squares in the world, surrounded by some of Venice’s most significant buildings: St Mark's Basilica, the Campanile (bell tower), the Doges Palace, which was once the administrative centre of the city.
Rialto Bridge is one of the architectural icons of Venice and one of the most visited tourist attractions of the city. It is a stone arch bridge over the Grand Canal and is the oldest bridge in Venice.
One of "the most famous and renowned landmarks in the history of Italian theatre"
Hidden in the center of Venice, unknown to most tourists, is a spiraling “snail” staircase that winds up the tower-like facade of a historic palazzo. It was so unique at the time it was built at the very end of the 15th century that it’s responsible for naming both the palace it’s attached to and the entire branch of the Contarini noble family that lived there.

About Venice
Venice floats on a lagoon of more than a hundred islands, a city of canals, palaces and bridges with no cars, where every walk ends somewhere unexpected.
The Grand Canal sweeps through the city in a great reversed S, lined with palaces and crossed by the Rialto Bridge. Near its mouth, Piazza San Marco gathers St Mark's Basilica with its golden mosaics, the Doge's Palace, the Bridge of Sighs and the tall brick campanile. Water buses and gondolas show the city from the angle it was built to be seen.
Top-ranked sights in Venice: St. Mark's Square (Piazza San Marco), St. Mark's Basilica (Basilica di San Marco), Grand Canal.
