About this experience
Venice is a city where 'solid reason suddenly becomes a moist eye.' Where time seems to stand still. Where the waters outnumber the land. Where the unstable ground holds the secrets of past naval successes and the alluring decadence of the Casanova era. I will gladly be your guide to this mysterious place: revealing its secrets and contradictory nature.
What to Expect
You will dive into Venetian mysteries and magic, walk through narrow ancient streets, peek into charming courtyards, and see hidden details not visible at first glance. You will also appreciate the city's iconic landmarks: St. Mark's Square, the Doge's Palace, Rialto Bridge, Santa Maria della Salute Church, Campo Santo Stefano, palaces along the Grand Canal, La Fenice Opera House, and more. I will tell you:
- How Venice was built and what it stands on
- How it is protected from floods
- How gondolas are made
- When and how Venice became the wealthiest city in the world
- What is produced here and what is imported
And other interesting facts!
