Start in the breathtaking St. Mark’s Square, the only “piazza” in Venice and the symbolic center of the Serenissima Republic. Here, your guide will introduce the history and political power of Venice while admiring some of its most iconic monuments.

Leave the crowds behind as you reach Santa Maria Formosa, one of Venice’s most charming and authentic squares, surrounded by historic palaces and the beautiful church designed during the Renaissance period.

Continue to Campo SS. Giovanni e Paolo, one of the largest squares in Venice, dominated by the monumental church known as the burial place of many Venetian Doges and considered the “Pantheon of Venice.”

Pass by the historic Malibran Theater, dedicated to the famous opera singer Maria Malibran, and discover the rich musical and theatrical traditions of the city.

Finally, stroll along the lively Mercerie, Venice’s ancient commercial streets lined with shops and boutiques, historically connecting Rialto Bridge to St. Mark’s Square and still considered the heart of Venetian daily life.
