Wander through charming campos and over graceful bridges, discovering hidden corners steeped in history and romance. Admire the intricate beauty of Scuola Grande di San Rocco, a treasure trove of Renaissance art, and stroll past the historic Ca’ Foscari University, a symbol of Venetian scholarship. Visit a traditional mask workshop to witness the artistry behind Venice’s iconic Carnival masks, and cross the Accademia Bridge for sweeping views of the Grand Canal. From the lively Campo Santo Stefano to the opulent Teatro La Fenice, Venice offers a rich tapestry of culture, architecture, and timeless elegance. Whether you’re sipping espresso in a quiet piazza or gliding through the canals by motor-launch, Venice invites you to slow down and savor its enchanting atmosphere.
