VENICE SHORE EXCURSION NO. 2
VENICE SHORE EXCURSION NO. 2
We will start with a visit to the Dorsoduro area, including beautiful urban spaces like Campo Santa Margherita and Campo San Barnaba, lively and colorful squares dotted with cafes, wine bars and small local markets.
Far from the major “hit-and-run” tourist routes, these neighborhoods are lively and trendy thanks to the two nearby universities with their several thousand students, and also the presence of several art museums, such as Ca’ Rezzonico, the Venetian 18th century museum, and the renown Peggy Guggenheim Collection.
Once past the Grand Canal at the wooden Accademia Bridge (with spectacular views of famous palaces and the Salute Church), we’ll head into the elegant Sestiere di San Marco, with its open-air cafes, art galleries and antiques dealers, and glamorous boutiques.
After a short stop at La Fenice, the world-famous opera house reconstructed after the 1996 fire, we’ll reach the unmissable, unforgettable St. Mark’s Square (see description on Shore Excursion #1).
Our VENICE SHORE EXCURSION 2 can be done both in the morning and afternoon starting at around 9:30am or at 2:30pm.
The Basilica of St Mark is not open for visitors on Sunday mornings.
