In the afternoon bus transfer to Punta Sabbioni and from here, private boat ride to the splendid city of Venice. Venice is made up of 118 small islands separated by 177 channels and joined by 400 bridges. This unusual city structure lends a particular and unique beauty to Venice. With a tour guide you will visit the main sites of interest such as Saint Mark’s Square and its basilica, known as “The Golden Church”, decorated with beautiful mosaics, the Rialto Bridge, crowded with shops and the famous covered bridge which connects the Ducal Palace to the New Prisons- called ‘The Bridge of Sighs’ because of the sighs of prisoners who once crossed it on their way to prison. Private boat transfer to Punta Sabbioni where the bus will be waiting to take you back to the hotel for dinner and overnight stay.
2nd Day: The Island of the Venetian Lagoon
After breakfast, bus transfer to Punta Sabbioni and private boat trip to begin our exploration of the Venetian islands.
The first island we visit is the Island of Murano, renowned throughout the world for its glass blowing factories. To experience more fully this ancient craft you will observe a glass blowing demonstration during which glass blowers will create beautiful objects right in front of you. Brief stop also on the island of Burano – ‘Fisherman’s Island’, famous for its coloured houses and its embroidery works. Fish based lunch in a typical restaurant on either Burano or Torcello. In the afternoon we will visit the last island on our trip- Torcello.
