✨ Venice Walking Tour — From St. Mark’s Splendor to the Rialto Bridge ✨

📍 Step into the golden heart of Venice, where history, legends, and daily life intertwine. From the grandeur of Piazza San Marco to the iconic Rialto, this journey blends world-famous landmarks with secret corners few visitors ever see.

🕯️ A Walking Journey Through Venice’s Timeless Landmarks & Hidden Gems
Begin in St. Mark’s Square, surrounded by centuries of glory in the Basilica, Doge’s Palace, and Campanile. From here, leave the crowds behind and wander the enchanting labyrinth of calli and campi.

Admire the Basilica of Santi Giovanni e Paolo, Venice’s “Pantheon of Doges,” and the remarkable Palazzo Soranzo Van Axel, a Gothic jewel. Step into the Corte Seconda del Milion, where Marco Polo once walked, and pause for a true Venetian ritual: a refreshing spritz at a traditional bacaro.

Your path leads to the Riva del Carbon, opening onto a breathtaking view of the Rialto Bridge, symbol of Venice’s mercantile power.
