In evidenza

On this self-guided walking tour, Context Travel expert and professional sommelier Cecilia Sitran leads you through Venice's rich culinary history, where each bite and sip is a portal to the city's past. Starting in Campo Santi Giovanni e Paolo with a coffee at Rosa Salva — where the bean first arrived in Venice over 400 years ago — you'll cross several prominent squares and the Rialto Bridge, hearing how Venice once served as the market for the world. Along the way, sample prosecco, fritto misto, and traditional cicchetti, discover the secret behind a good Venetian risotto, and choose from four variations of Spritz, the wine-based cocktail first developed here. The tour ends at Osteria Ai Pugni, where a final spread of traditional snacks and local wine awaits.

About Venezia

Venezia galleggia su una laguna di oltre cento isole: canali, palazzi e ponti senza auto, dove ogni passeggiata finisce in un luogo inatteso.

Il Canal Grande attraversa la città con una grande S rovesciata, fiancheggiato da palazzi e scavalcato dal ponte di Rialto. Vicino alla sua foce, piazza San Marco riunisce la basilica di San Marco con i suoi mosaici dorati, il Palazzo Ducale, il Ponte dei Sospiri e l'alto campanile di mattoni. Vaporetti e gondole mostrano la città dall'angolazione per cui è stata costruita.

Top-ranked sights in Venezia: St. Mark's Square (Piazza San Marco), St. Mark's Basilica (Basilica di San Marco), Grand Canal.
