Venice discovery tour

Venice’s beating heart is Saint Mark’s square, surrounded by works of indisputable mastery and prestige: the imposing Campanile Bell Tower, and the Basilica with its five portals and decorations in marble and mosaics hinting at the pomp and extravagance of the interior; the Doge’s Palace, symbol of the various golden temples of La Serenissima (“The Most Serene Republic of Venice”); the Moors’ Tower, famously known as the Clock Tower, given the highly-evolved engineering that for centuries has marked the time for Venice.
Several historic cafes yield onto the piazza. The marvelous Caffè Florian: opened in 1720, is the oldest cafe in Italy. The elegant interiors are remarkable for their use of stucco, their paintings and mirrors. Not far from Piazza San Marco lies Campo Santo Stefano and the same-named church.

Explore tiny lanes, narrow alleyways, quirky little squares, shimmering canals, and quaint bridges where you get in touch with everyday life. Hear the stories that bring The Floating City to life.
