Venice by Night

Información

Venice isn’t called the Queen of the Adriatic for nothing, and this evening tour will show you another side to its marble palaces and charming canals. You’ll arrive as the sun sets, so you can take a scenic canal ride to St Mark’s Square – the real heart of the city. St Mark’s Basilica takes centre stage here, with its spires, dome and intricate mosaics. Then, you’ll head to the 17th-century Bridge of Sighs. It was built to connect the new prison to interrogation rooms in Doge’s Palace. Some say it was named after prisoners sighing at their last glimpse of the outside world, while others suggest it was the sighs of lovers passing under the picture-perfect bridge. Next, there’s time to explore by gondola, before hitting the designer boutiques along the Mercerie shopping streets. Come dark, you can tuck into homemade pizza at an authentic restaurant and take in the sights on a lagoon cruise.
