The Journey
Saint Mark's Basilica

Marvel at its opulent Byzantine mosaics, shimmering with gold, and discover the relics of St. Mark the Evangelist. Ascend to the upper levels for breathtaking views of St. Mark's Square. This basilica isn't just a religious site; it's a living testament to Venice's power and its enduring connection to the East.
Rialto Bridge
Cross the Rialto Bridge, a majestic stone arch spanning the Grand Canal and the pulsing heart of Venetian commerce for centuries. Admire the bridge's intricate design and bustling shops, then pause to absorb the breathtaking panorama of the canal. As one of Venice's most iconic landmarks, the Rialto Bridge offers not just a crossing point, but a vibrant sensory experience and a perfect photo opportunity.
Bridge of Sighs
Gaze upon the Bridge of Sighs, a hauntingly beautiful enclosed bridge steeped in romantic legend and somber history. Connects the Doge's Palace to the New Prison. Imagine the sighs of prisoners as they caught their last glimpse of Venice before incarceration. The Bridge of Sighs offers a unique perspective on Venetian justice and a poignant reminder of the city's darker side.

Basilica dei Frari
Venture into the Basilica dei Frari, a treasure trove of Venetian Renaissance art. Admire Titian's monumental "Assumption of the Virgin" and Bellini's exquisite "Madonna and Child with Saints."
