Itinerary

  • Canal Grande

    Flowing at the heart of Venice lies the magnificent Grand Canal, an awe-inspiring spectacle. Stretching over 2 miles in length and elegantly taking the form of a backward "S," this iconic watercourse meanders through the city, linking captivating neighborhoods and displaying the architectural marvels of Venice. Embark on a voyage along the Grand Canal and bear witness to the splendor of the palaces, churches, and edifices that grace its shores. Be enchanted by their intricate designs, adorned with vibrant facades and graceful details, reflecting centuries of Venetian history and cultural opulence. As you glide gracefully along the shimmering waters, immerse yourself in the vibrant ambiance of Venetian existence. Admire the elegant gondolas and vaporettos gracefully navigating the canal, ferrying both locals and visitors to their chosen destinations.

    30 minutes

  • Teatro La Fenice (Pass By)

    During the latter part of the 18th century, Venice could proudly boast of having seven age-old theaters, with two solely dedicated to drama and the remainder reserved for musical performances. Among this distinguished group, the most opulent was the Teatro San Benedetto, situated close to Campo San Luca. Initially founded in 1755 by the esteemed Grimani family, it later came under the control of the Noble Society of box holders. Nevertheless, in 1787, following a judicial agreement, the society was expelled and forced to relinquish ownership of the theater to the Venier nobles, who owned the land on which the structure was erected. Promptly, the society embarked on constructing a new and grander theater, to be named Gran Teatro La Fenice, akin to the mythical and immortal bird mentioned in Herodotus' Histories. Just as the phoenix is renowned for rising from its own ashes, this newly-built theater would symbolize society's resurgence from its adversities.

  • N/A (Pass By)

    There are numerous lingering place names that recall the city's history of widespread horticultural activities or undeveloped areas covered with vegetation. Among these, we can mention the campi (fields), campaign (countryside), courtyards filled with grass, or the calluses of the fighter. The first recorded mention of Rio dell'Alboro dates back to 1696, while the Rio de le Ostreghe appears in documents during the following century. It is likely that a seller of these delicious seafood delicacies operated nearby, as their cultivation in the lagoon experienced significant growth, especially in the first half of the 19th century. This is also evident in the canal named after them, formerly known as the ostregheri canal but now referred to as Canale dei Lavraneri, located in Sacca Fisola.

  • Basilica di Santa Maria della Salute (Pass By)

    Santa Maria della Salute, situated in Venice, is a remarkable basilica that stands as a symbol of gratitude and optimism. Erected in the 17th century, it was dedicated to the Virgin Mary in commemoration of the city's deliverance from the devastating plague. The impressive domed structure and graceful Baroque architecture render it a prominent architectural treasure along the Grand Canal. Inside, the space is adorned with exquisite masterpieces and intricate embellishments, evoking a sense of wonder among its visitors. Even today, Santa Maria della Salute remains a significant religious and cultural landmark in Venice, attracting both locals and tourists alike who come to marvel at its beauty and historical importance.

Perfect for a Visit to Copenhagen

Published on Sep, 2024

This boutique hotel is extremely well-positioned, centrally, to many key features in the old part of Copenhagen. Most are within walking distance. The location of the hotel is in a quiet area, good for sleeping and resting. Stylish in the decor, with an old-world setting, in very good condition having been renovated several years ago. My room ( Twin deluxe) was very nice, spacious for 1 person, 2 would also have ample room. One small glitch - the squeaky floor. I was told that came with the age of the building and that the sound would not carry to the neighbors. The bathroom had good storage space and the shower was hot with good pressure. The window in the bedroom opened which was a bonus as the weather was quite warm and humid towards the end of August. The breakfast was a lavish buffet with hot and cold dishes and decent coffee. There are a few eating areas so crowded rooms can be avoided. You can also relax with a drink on the terrace, in the Reception area, the courtyard or outside. The Receptionists were very polite, professional and helpful. I highly recommend this hotel, especially if it's your first time in Copenhagen.

Gondola tour

Published on Aug, 2023

The gondola tour offers a majestic way to witness Venice's grandeur. The canals are liquid streets, and our gondola felt like a royal chariot. Passing beneath historic bridges and palatial buildings, we were transported to another era. This experience deserves a solid five stars!

Romantic Gondola Ride

Published on Aug, 2023

Venice's romantic allure truly comes to life on this gondola ride. The serene canals, the soft sounds of water, and the intimate setting make it a perfect experience for couples. Our gondolier shared interesting tidbits about the city, enhancing the romance. Five stars for an unforgettable memory!

Romantic and great tour

Published on Aug, 2023

Romantic and picturesque! Sharing a gondola with other travelers didn't diminish the charm at all. In fact, it added to the fun as we made new friends while enjoying the breathtaking views and the gondolier's melodious singing.
