Enhance your Italy walking holiday with a Venice city add-on

Venice is a city that rewards those who linger. By staying a couple of nights in the city, you can explore beyond the main sights that most day trippers flock to. Wander the quieter sestieri like Cannaregio or Dorsoduro, discover tucked-away churches and artisan workshops, and enjoy the rhythm of local life at cafés and markets. Early mornings at the Rialto Market reveal the best seafood and produce, while a vaporetto ride along the Grand Canal at sunset offers a perspective you’ll never get in a crowded day tour.
Our Walking Specialists can tailor your trip to the dates, durations and hotels that suit you.

- 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.
