Day 3
Breakfast in hotel. The entire day is dedicated to guided tour of the city: the splendor of Saint Mark's Square with the Basilica, the Bell Tower, and the elegant Palazzo Ducale (Doge's Palace); the Rialto quarter, first area of the lagoon to be settled and, with its famous bridge, the commercial heart of the city since its founding. Aperitifs at the elegant Café Florian for a taste of noble Venetian society then free time for lunch.
A ride in gondola on the Canal Grande proposed for the late afternoon will reveal the history of Venice, the sumptuousness of its most aristocratic palaces, from the Ca' d'Oro to Palazzo Grassi, from the glorious Ca' Foscari to Palazzo Rezzonico, and finally to that architectural masterpiece by Longhena, the imposing edifice of the Basilica of Santa Maria della Salute.
A typical and equally suggestive dinner will conclude this unforgettable day.
