Overview

Welcome to Venice, the city of canals and bridges. In this walking tour we’ll explore some of its most enchanting sites, blending history, art and culture.

We begin at the iconic Teatro La Fenice, one of the world’s most celebrated opera houses. Known as "The Phoenix," this theater has risen from the ashes twice, symbolizing Venice’s resilience.

Next, the elegant Palazzina Selva, also known as the Venice Pavilion. Today, it hosts exhibitions, especially during the Venice Biennale.

Our final stop we’ll wander through Venice’s charming alleys to discover the hidden Scala Contarini del Bovolo, a stunning spiral staircase tucked away in a quiet courtyard. Climb the staircase for the best views of the city’s rooftops and canals.

After our walking tour, it’s time to experience Venice from its most iconic perspective, the water. Your 30 minute gondola ride awaits! Now, it’s time to sit back, unwind, and let the gondolier guide you through the enchanting waterways.

Let's go together!

Q: Will I get seasick on Walking Tour in Venice and Gondola Ride?
