Architecture of Venice

On the way to Venice, make a stop in the commune of Portogruaro. Delightful and lovely village that will make you feel like in the Middle Age thanks to the medieval stone well, the town hall and a high bell tower in Gothic style. Don't miss the river port, just a gem.

When you arrive in Venice, leave the car in this secure car park and head to the famous water districts of Venice, where you’ll spend the rest of the day. You can either walk for about 30 minutes from the car park or take a minibus that will bring you to Venice centre in about 5 minutes. Another option is travelling by water from a nearby boat station.

Get on a boat that will bring you to the Rialto Market station. You're going to start your walk from the most ancient bridge in the city, which has become one of the symbols of Venice: Rialto Bridge. Built in 1591 on the Grand Canal, from here you have the chance to take a look at some magnificent palaces of Venice.

Take a break and enjoy lunch in a cosy bar with the atmosphere of romantic Venice. A wide choice of Italian dishes, appetizers, desserts, and wines. The Osteria Enoteca San Marco is the traditional tapas bar of Venice.

Continue exploring the architecture of Venice and stop to visit the Scala Contarini del Bovolo Palace, which was built at the very end of the fifteenth century. It’s renowned for the spiral staircase that leads to the lookout, where you’ll see a charming panoramic view of the city roofs. The staircase is open to the public.

Before you go for dinner, take a walk around the main city square, named after St. Mark, where there’s also a huge number of architectural and cultural monuments. For instance, St Mark's Basilica, the Columns of San Marco and San Todaro, and the well-known St Mark's Clock tower. Take photos of this legendary square, walk around the area, visit some shops and go for dinner.

The best way to end the day is to have dinner at Gio's Restaurant & Terrace. You will have a delicious dinner while you enjoy the great city scenery view. Pay attention to the fried rosemary scallops with sweet and sour carrots. The organic low-fat farm egg with potatoes, spinach and Umbrian truffles is also an excellent option.
