Highlights
  • Canal Grande - The Grand Canal serves as the primary waterway for traffic in the city. Public transportation is available through vaporetti and water taxis.

Winding through much of the city, it “starts” in the lagoon near the train station, curving in a large “S” shape through the central districts, the sestieri, and concludes near the Basilica of Santa Maria della Salute, close to Piazza San Marco. It has an average depth of five meters.

  • Teatro La Fenice - Teatro La Fenice is Venice’s premier opera house in northeast Italy. Having been destroyed and rebuilt multiple times, it hosts a significant operatic season and an international contemporary music festival.

Constructed swiftly in just over a year, it opened on May 16, 1792, with Giovanni Paisiello’s opera I giochi di Agrigento.

It was destroyed by fire on December 13, 1836, but was soon rebuilt, replicating the original design. A century later, in 1937, it was restored by Eugenio Miozzi.

  • Ponte de le Ostreghe - Immerse yourself in the timeless allure of Venice as you cross the Ponte delle Ostreghe, an architectural relic from the city’s ancient past. This distinctive bridge, located between the San Marco and San Moisè districts, offers a fascinating glimpse into Venetian life and the shimmering waters of the Grand Canal.

Initially constructed from wood in the 12th century, the Ponte delle Ostreghe was rebuilt in stone in the 18th century, maintaining its historical integrity and significance as a symbolic landmark. Its unique name, meaning “Bridge of Oysters,” harks back to the ancient oysters that once populated the waters below.

  • Basilica di Santa Maria della Salute - Santa Maria della Salute (Saint Mary of Health) is a basilica in Venice, situated near the Punta della Dogana (Customs Point). It was constructed, like the Church of the Redeemer and the Church of São Roque, as a votive offering from the Venetian people in response to the plague that devastated the population in 1630.
