We begin in the quieter district of Dorsoduro, near the Academia Bridge, where Venice feels residential and alive.
2
Basilica di Santa Maria della Salute
Standing before the majestic Basilica di Santa Maria della Salute, we uncover the devastating plague that nearly destroyed the city — and the vow that changed its skyline forever.
3
Teatro La Fenice
As we wind through hidden calli and elegant campi, we encounter the Teatro La Fenice, a symbol of Venetian resilience that has literally risen from the ashes.
4
Scala Contarini del Bovolo
Along the way, we step into lesser-known corners like Scala Contarini del Bovolo, revealing the refined tastes and ambitions of noble families.
5
Rialto Bridge
Crossing toward Rialto, the atmosphere shifts. Venice transforms from serene beauty to vibrant trade hub. At the Rialto Bridge, we stand where merchants once negotiated spices, silk, and fortunes.
6
Rialto Market
Just beyond, the Rialto Market continues centuries of commercial tradition — fishmongers, produce stalls, and the rhythm of daily Venetian life.
