A curated journey through the experience
Chiesa di Santa Maria Assunta detta I Gesuiti
Giddily over the top even by rococo standards, this impressive building is a gaudy, glitzy 18th century Jesuit church. Almost impossible to take a picture in all at once!
15 minutesScuola Grande di San Marco
Nowadays this beatiful building is hosting a public hospital
15 minutesBasilica dei Santi Giovanni e Paolo
For centuries Zanipolo was the site of the Doge’s funerals and the walls are punctuated by 25 of their lavish tombs.
10 minutesEquestrian Statue of Bartolomeo Colleoni
Bartolomeo Colleoni ‘s galloping bronze equestrian statue is one of the only two such public monuments in Venice. It commemorates one of Venice most loyal mercenary commanders: from 1448 Coleoni commanded armies for the Republic of Venice, though in true mercenary from he switched side a couple of times when he had been stiffed on pay or promotions!
15 minutesCasa di Marco Polo
In this palace used to live Marco Polo (1254-1324), who captured his adventures across central asia and China in memories entitled il “Milione” (1299), the first travel blog at intercontinental level history records.
10 minutesMercati di Rialto
In the night is a quiet place to walk through (with a fish smell!) and one of the hotspot of Venetian nightlife.
15 minutesPonte delle Tette
This bridge is know since the 15th century as “Tits Bridge”. Back in those days, shadowy porticos around this bridge sheltered a designated red light district where neighbourhood prostitutes were encouraged to display their wares in windows instead of taking marketing campaigns to the streets in their legendary platform shoes.
15 minutesCampo Santa Margherita
Even in the dead of winter and the heat of the summer, you can count on action here in Venice at night. The oblong, unruly square features a bevy of beverage temptations with several wine bars and restaurants. During the day it hosts a small regular weekday market, an flea market once a week and periodic political protests.
15 minutesCampo San Barnaba
Also an inconic scene from the movie “Summer Time” (1955) was show shot here, with Catherine Hepburn falling into a nearby canal.
15 minutesPonte dell'Accademia
It connects Dorsoduro and the Gallerie dell'Accademia with San Marco district offering one of the most scenografic view above Canal Grande
15 minutesBasilica di Santa Maria della Salute
This church is a monumental sigh of relief (Salute means health), placed in the final part of the Canal Grande, when the canal ends up into the basin of Saint Mark.. This splendid domed church was commissioned by Venice’s plague survivors as thanks for salvation.
15 minutesPunta della Dogana
From the top you can enjoy a magnific view spotting in one shot The Doge’s Palace, Piazza San Marco, the island of San Giorgio, the Canal Grande, the Canal Della Giudecca and the Giudecca island with the Zitelle and Redentore church and the Venice Giardini.
