This morning’s guided walking tour reveals many of the city’s most famous sights including the glorious Doge’s Palace, St Mark’s with its magnificently decorated Basilica and grandiose square, the legendary Bridge of Sighs, the Rialto Bridge plus a host of fascinating features. Next we have a ‘timed’ entrance to the incredible St Mark’s Basilica, probably the world’s most opulent cathedral. Finally we have a visit to the Doge’s Palace, traditional home of Venice’s most important citizen the Doge, also effectively the city’s seat of government, with yet more art treasures. Overnight at hotel.

Breakfast at hotel. This morning we take a tour of the city’s undiscovered face. We see the old Jewish quarter, the original ‘ghetto’ now wonderfully restored the house of Tintoretto and where Marco Polo used to live. Your guide will enhance the tour bringing the city of the more humble Venetians to life, before ending at the traditional Rialto market. You could round the morning off with a leisurely lunch in one of the charming cafés and restaurants of all styles. Overnight at hotel.

Breakfast at hotel . This morning commences with a boat ride across the lagoon to the smaller island of Murano, famed across the world for its exquisite colored glass, produced here for centuries. The glassblower’s skill is just mesmerizing and we see a demonstration of this ancient art. You are then free to explore the rest of the island as you please. Murano is far quieter than Venice itself and is representative of how the city was decades ago, or should you wish you can return to Venice. Overnight at hote.
