Itinerary

Ponte dell'Accademia

20 min Admission included

More than just a viewpoint, the Accademia Bridge is a space to live slowly, suspended above the Grand Canal in the heart of the city. The wooden structure, unusual and almost fragile compared to the Venetian monumentality that surrounds it, creates a unique contrast with the historic buildings and the breadth of the water below.
Santo Stefano Church

20 min Admission included

One of the most extraordinary and underrated churches in Venice, often ignored even by those who visit the city several times. Hidden away from the most predictable routes, it preserves a space of rare beauty, where architecture, light and silence create an almost unreal atmosphere. Entering it gives the feeling of discovering something that Venice does not easily show : an authentic, refined place and still surprisingly unknown to most visitors.
Campo Sant' Angelo

10 min Admission included

one of those places where Venice lets itself be read in its truest form, without mediation. An irregular field, where the facades of the buildings face each other from different eras, creating an unexpected balance between full and empty, light and shadow, openness and density. For those who observe the city with an architectural gaze, this space reveals the true nature of Venice,.
Stop 4

10 min Admission included

A visibly crooked and leaning bell tower, which immediately catches the eye for its evident inclination, almost surprising in the harmonious context of Venice. Like the Tower of Pisa, this tower seems to defy gravity, but here the effect is not isolated: it is part of the very character of the city.
Scala Contarini del Bovolo

10 min Admission included

A hidden masterpiece in the heart of Venice, where stone turns into movement. The Scala Contarini del Bovolo is a unique structure, with its elegant external spiral that winds upwards like a sculpture suspended between architecture and ingenuity. Looking up together with its overlapping arches, you have the feeling of entering a more secret Venice, made of unexpected details and perspectives that slowly reveal themselves, step by step.
Ponte di Rialto

20 min Admission included

The experience starts from one of the most emblematic places in Venice, overlooking the Grand Canal, where the continuous passage of boats and gondolas tells the life of the city. Here, among myths, curious anecdotes and mysterious legends, we discover the origins of Venice and the history of the bridge, right in the place where it all began.
Scuola Grande di San Marco

15 min Admission included

Discover one of the most fascinating buildings of the Venetian Renaissance, with its extraordinary facade full of details and perspective illusions, today an integral part of the city hospital, in a surprising encounter between history, art and everyday life.
Chiesa di Santa Maria dei Miracoli

15 min Admission included

A small wonder hidden among the alleys, often called one of the most refined and surprising churches in Venice. Entirely covered in polychrome marble, Santa Maria dei Miracoli looks more like a sculpted jewel than a building, with its delicate surfaces and perfect geometry that immediately catches the eye. Born around an image believed to be miraculous, it preserves an intimate and suspended atmosphere, where every detail contributes to creating a feeling of rare and almost unreal harmony in the heart of the city.
