3 Days in Venice: Art and Water Itinerary

This balanced three day journey allows you to look beyond the immediate centre and explore the incredible artistic legacy of the surrounding districts. You will conquer the grand monuments on the first day, followed by a deep dive into world class art galleries and the bohemian atmosphere of the southern waterfront. The final day takes you off the main islands to discover the vibrant colours and historic crafts of the wider lagoon. It strikes the perfect balance between hitting the major sights and enjoying relaxed, authentic local experiences. You will leave with a profound appreciation for the city's diverse character.
