Experience all the highlights of this magical city with a walking tour of the narrow streets of Venice. Let yourself be seduced by the colours of the islands of Murano and Burano and enjoy a romantic boat trip on the Grand Canal.

1st day

Arrival in Venice and transfer to 3/4* Hotel.
Lunch in a typical restaurant.
Guided tour of the city centre: we begin from the huge Piazza San Marco on which the west façade of
St. Mark’s Basilica overlooks. The opulent design of this church is the evidence of the power and
wealth reached by the Republic of Venice. We continue our visit with Palazzo Ducale and Ponte dei
Sospiri, reaching the Rialto Bridge, the oldest of the four bridges spanning the Grand Canal, built in
the 12th century.
Dinner. Overnight stay in Hotel.

2nd day

Breakfast at the Hotel.
Transfer to Murano by motorboat to visit this island, centre of glassmaking since when the Republic
of Venice, fearing fire and the destruction of the city mostly built in wood, ordered glassmakers to
move their foundries here in 1291. We will visit the Glass Museum where you can get acquainted
with the refined technologies used during the centuries to produce high-quality glass-made objects.
Lunch in a typical restaurant.
In the afternoon, we will proceed towards the island of Burano with its colourful houses (that follow
a specific colour system, dated back to the golden age) and the Lace Museum.
Return to Venice.
Dinner. Overnight stay in Hotel in Venice.
