Over the Rooftops of Venice

What to Expect

Breathtaking Views
Surprisingly, most travelers do not know that you can admire Venice not only from the squares and water, but also from the rooftops and viewing platforms. I will take you to the best of them! You will have an incredible experience contemplating the ancient domes and bell towers, orange tiled roofs, and the water ripples of the canals from above. I will try not to overload you with serious historical information and focus on entertaining details and city legends. The tour includes three viewing platforms:

• Fondaco dei Tedeschi — we will take an elevator to the terrace of the magnificent palace located right on the Grand Canal. I will tell you the unusual history of the building. At different times, it housed customs, post office, storage of merchants' goods, and now in the legendary walls there is a shopping center with red carpets and luxury goods.

• Scala Contarini del Bovolo — we will reach the viewing platform of the wonderful palace through the lacework spiral staircase, built during the rule of one of the most influential doges of Venice, Andrea Contarini. You will be amazed by the unusual trapezoidal-shaped stairs directed counterclockwise.

• St. Mark's Campanile — we will see the amazing panorama of the city from the height of one of its main symbols. You will be amazed by the extraordinary architectural beauty of Venice, framed by wonderful canals, bridges, and embankments.

Upon your request, we can also visit St. George's Maggiore Bell Tower and Clock Tower.
