Things To Do
Discovering Venice's Timeless Thoroughfare...

Hop onto a gondola, where they feel like sleek black swans gliding through the canals. The buildings on either side seem to be playing a game of architectural Jenga, leaning precariously towards each other. The occasional splashing of water from passing boats is like a surprise water balloon attack. It's a city that's half-floating, half-sinking, but always enchanting. We recommend the night-time boat trip since you may escape water taxi traffic and be mesmerised by the Venetian architecture lit up in the evening, providing you with a magnificent experience to remember! Feel the romance in the air as you explore Venice's most important landmarks while drinking a glass of champagne.

Art Extravaganza!

For all art lovers, visiting the biennale is on the calendar. It is at this time of year that the connoisseurs of the art world flock to the city every two years for the "Olympics of the art world." In addition to providing a chance to learn about what is happening in many nations, the Biennale provides a chance to view some of the finest examples of modern art!

Masked Mayhem And Merriment!

Step right up to the most dazzling extravaganza of the year, The Carnival Festival! Get ready to unleash your inner wild child as the streets come alive with vibrant colours, lively music and infectious laughter. Join the parade of whimsical costumes as you dance your heart out. Indulge in delectable treats from street vendors and let your imagination soar with face painting and glitter galore. The Carnival Festival is a time of pure joy and fun, where you can let loose and create memories that will last a lifetime. So grab your mask, put on your dancing shoes and let the good times roll at the most enchanting celebration on earth!

A love Affair With The Sun... 

Feel the vibrant energy at St. Mark’s Square while admiring the architecture! With a culmination of domes and mosaics, the Venice cathedral is simply magnificent. The cathedral’s façade undulates like a wave, with its five niched doorways, glistening mosaics and frothy masonry arches at their apexes. We recommend getting there right before the sunset to see the golden mosaic come alive in the sun's mellow light. It's an enchanting sight to behold!

Unveiling The Tapestry of Art

Discover the hidden gem by visiting the Peggy Guggenheim Collection. Before exploring the collection, we advise arriving early to stroll through the sculpture garden and take in the fragrant scent of the flowering bushes. Nestled in the peaceful neighbourhood of Dorsoduro, this museum is regarded as one of the finest private art collections in the world. Some of the artworks include works by Mondrian, Dal, Pollock and Picasso, among others.
