Guided Tour of Venice
Description
What better way to see the "City of Canals" than by passing through its most famous and historical spots? Discover the fascinating past of the Serene Republic on this guided tour of Venice.
Tour Details
Our guided tour of Venice will begin at the designated time at Larga Ascensione Street, in front of the post office in St. Mark's Square. This square is home to St Mark's Basilica and the Doge's Palace, a key building of the Venetian Gothic period.
From the square, we will see St. Mark's Clock Tower and the Procuratie buildings, important icons of the Serene Republic.
The tour then continues to Santa Maria Formosa, where the church of Santa Maria Formosa, dating back to the 7th century, is located. The construction of this church began due to a request from the Virgin Mary to the Bishop of Oderzo.
Next, we will visit Campo de SS. Giovanni e Paolo, home to the Basilica dei Santi Giovanni e Paolo, known as the "Pantheon." Nearby, we will see the Scuola dell Carità complex.
We will then reach the Malibran Theatre, an important theatre of the 17th and 18th centuries, and discuss its history. The theatre was inaugurated during the 1678 carnival.
The tour concludes back at St. Mark's Square, having passed through Le Mercerie, the main commercial artery of the city, after this 1.5-hour tour.
