Discover Venice
Venice is a city built for wandering. Stay for a couple of nights and you can slip into its quieter sestieri, the neighbourhoods that give the city its charm. Cannaregio and Dorsoduro are perfect for slow exploring, with tucked-away churches and small artisan workshops.
Visit the Rialto Market early for the best seafood and produce, then take a sunset vaporetto along the Grand Canal for a view you will never get on a crowded day tour.
Our Walking Specialists can tailor your trip to the dates, durations and hotels that suit you.

Sample Venice city break itinerary
- Start your day by wandering through Venice’s narrow alleys and canals, crossing its graceful bridges and pausing in hidden squares where locals chat over coffee. Let yourself get a little lost - it’s the best way to experience the city’s quieter corners.
- Make your way to St Mark’s Square, where the Basilica and Doge’s Palace showcase Venice’s grand past. After exploring the palaces and piazzas, duck into nearby churches and artisan workshops to discover another side of Venetian craftsmanship.
- In the evening, enjoy a ride along the Grand Canal by vaporetto or gondola. Watching the palaces glow in the sunset light is one of the city’s most unforgettable experiences.
- Begin your morning at the Rialto Market, where locals shop for fresh seafood, fruit and vegetables. From there, hop between cicchetti bars, sampling small plates of local specialities with a glass of Venetian wine.
- Spend the afternoon exploring the Dorsoduro or Cannaregio districts. These quieter neighbourhoods are full of character, local galleries and waterside cafés.
- As the day winds down, pause in one of Venice’s lively squares, like Campo Santa Margherita, or take an evening stroll along the Riva degli Schiavoni promenade. Settle at a canal-side restaurant for dinner and watch gondolas glide by as the city sparkles on the water.
