Itinerary

The Ponte delle Meraviglie, or "Bridge of Wonders," is a lesser-known but enchanting bridge in Venice, known for its quaint, picturesque beauty and quieter atmosphere compared to Venice’s more famous bridges. The bridge’s name evokes a sense of mystery and wonder, making it a delightful stop for those seeking hidden gems in Venice’s labyrinthine streets.
The Squero di San Trovaso is one of Venice’s last traditional boatyards, where skilled artisans have crafted and repaired gondolas and other Venetian boats for centuries.
Fondamenta Zattere is a long, scenic promenade along Venice’s southern waterfront in the Dorsoduro district, known for its stunning views across the Giudecca Canal.
The Hospital for the Incurable, known in Italian as "Ospedale degli Incurabili," is a historic institution located in Venice that dates back to the early 17th century. Originally founded as a refuge for the sick and the poor, it was specifically designed to care for patients with incurable illnesses.
Palazzo Dario, a striking Gothic palace located along the Grand Canal in Venice, is renowned for its dramatic architecture and rich history. It is perhaps best known for its association with various legends and tales, including its reputation as a "cursed" building, as many of its past owners have met untimely or tragic fates.
The Basilica di Santa Maria della Salute is an iconic Baroque church situated at the entrance of the Grand Canal in Venice. The stunning views from the church's steps across the canal further enhance its appeal as a must-visit destination.
