- Canal Grande - Known as “The most beautiful road in the world,” the Grand Canal is a testament to Venetian culture, where gondola serenades have been a timeless tradition. The scenery remains largely unchanged, offering a view similar to what an 18th-century nobleman, a Renaissance courtesan, or a medieval merchant would have seen.
- Teatro La Fenice - Once one of seven major theatres in Venice, the Fenice now stands as the city’s sole opera house. It is a gem among European theatres, having hosted the works of renowned composers like Bellini, Donizetti, and Rossini. Giuseppe Verdi, in particular, is closely associated with the Fenice and holds a special place in Venetian history.
- Palazzo Gritti Badoer - Named after the Gritti family, a prominent Venetian lineage, the Gritti Palace is linked to Andrea Gritti, a Renaissance Doge of Venice. He led Venetian forces against the League of Cambrai, which included France, Spain, and the Holy Roman Empire, as they sought to curb Venice’s expansion in France.
- Peggy Guggenheim Collection - The Peggy Guggenheim Collection is one of the world’s most significant art collections. Peggy Guggenheim, originally from New York, arrived in Venice in 1949 and indulged her passion for art by acquiring this magnificent building to showcase priceless artworks. The stunning terrace, where Guggenheim often sunbathed, overlooks the Grand Canal.
- Basilica di Santa Maria della Salute - As you enter the Grand Canal, you are greeted by the impressive church of the Madonna della Salute. Its commanding presence is enhanced by its strategic location at the canal’s entrance, offering panoramic views of the city due to its circular design. Every 21st of November, the city commemorates the Madonna della Salute, marking the end of the plague.
- Campanile di San Marco - From the gondola, one can admire the basin of St. Mark’s and the magnificent bell tower, which stands proudly at the heart of its remarkable square.
