Book Past and Present Walking Tour

The ideal introduction to St Mark's main sights.

Venice is an open-air museum and this external walk is a must for the first time visitor to Venice.

Learn how Venice lost out on the trade routes when the New World was discovered, leaving Venice medieval forever.

Away from the square we enter into a labyrinth of narrow alleyways, and encounter La Fenice Opera House, then a concealed square by Fortuny Palace, a spectacular view of the Grand Canal, a beautiful Venetian folly ‘The Bovolo staircase’ and finally Rialto bridge.
