Hoogtepunten

This combined guided tour is divided into three parts. The tour starts at 9.00am with a historical introduction of St. Marks’s Square, and its architectural delights. Leaving the square, you will be guided into the residential Castello area, allowing you to discover this part of Venice in all of its elegance, through its labyrinth of narrow alleys - “calli”, many bridges, winding canals and wide picturesque squares - “campi”. At 10.45 am you will proceed with the visit of the Saint Mark's Basilica, once the private chapel of the Doge of Venice, and the only one of its kind in Italy, thanks to the sumptous golden mosaics and impressive marble inlay flooring. The last part is the gondola ride at 3 pm. Relax aboard this historic vessel, enjoying the thrills of both the Grand Canal and minor canals.

About Venetië

Venetië drijft in een lagune met ruim honderd eilanden: een autovrije stad van kanalen, paleizen en bruggen waar elke wandeling onverwacht eindigt.

Het Canal Grande slingert als een grote omgekeerde S door de stad, omzoomd door paleizen en overspannen door de Rialtobrug. Bij de monding verzamelt de Piazza San Marco de Sint-Marcusbasiliek met haar gouden mozaïeken, het Dogenpaleis, de Brug der Zuchten en de hoge bakstenen campanile. Vaporetto's en gondels tonen de stad vanuit de hoek waaruit ze bedoeld is om gezien te worden.

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