Venice: A City to Experience

A tour of the bacari, enjoying cicchetti and conversation; walks on the islands; a day at the Lido. The lagoon’s natural beauty and boat trips, followed by a return to the apartment: grocery shopping, cooking, and getting back into the rhythm of Venetian life.

In the evening, take a stroll through Venice at night, winding through its narrow streets, squares, and reflections on the water. For a special experience, join a guided evening tour of St. Mark’s Basilica to see the illuminated mosaics: reservations are required, and availability depends on special opening times.

A stop at the market to chat and learn about the lagoon’s produce, followed by small tastings and conversations: the flavor of Venice as told by those who live it.
