About this activity

Meet your Greeter at Milan Central Station and board on your high-speed train to reach Venice Santa Lucia in 2 hours. This excursion will lead you into the heart of Venice and its enchanting Lagoon. First, meet your guide at meeting point and board on the Vaporetto, the typical public transportation boat, an authentically Venetian experience that will let you pass along the Grand Canal and admire the Rialto Bridge, as well as the sumptuous palaces, once home of the most powerful Venetian families along the Centuries. Arriving directly at San Marco Square you will start the walking tour that will let you learn the fascinating history of Venice as you wander through this romantic maze rich in secrets and characters like Casanova or Titian. Get stunned by the impressive S. Mark’s Square and Basilica, as well as the elegant Doge’s Palace that feature a typical Venetian style influenced by Oriental architecture. At the end of the walking tour you will have time at leisure so if you fancy you may go for a gondola ride (optional), the most iconic experience in Venice. After meeting again, you’ll take again the Vaporetto to reach Murano, worldwide known for its colourful houses and mostly for handmade glasses. You will be charmed by watching the mastery of glass blowers and you will have the chance to attend a workshop to create your personal and unique Venetian souvenir. At the end, the assistant will help you board again on the Vaporetto to reach Venice Station again. There, meet your greeter and board again on your high-speed train and relax while reaching Milan after your trip through Venetian History, Art and Tradition.
