Venice Beach Weekend, Fireworks and Croatia

Lose yourself in the island city of Venice before you enjoy the Festa Del Redentore!

Venice is the original pedestrian zone and is filled with countless shops, restaurants, museums and other attractions. After your Friday morning tour of the city center, and after you check into your hotel in Lido di Jesolo (Venice’s beach resort, just a water bus ride away from St. Mark’s Square) you will be able to explore this living museum however you see fit. Visit the glass museums on Murano, ride a water taxi or gondola in the Grand Canal, or shop on both sides of the Rialto Bridge. Regardless of what you plan for your day, make sure to visit Saint Mark’s Square, and remember to plan time into your schedule for when you eventually get lost (and you will!) in this beautiful maze of winding streets and canals. An optional excursion on Saturday will give you the chance to visit the Croatian cities of Rovinj and Porec.

This special trip also coincides with the Festa Del Redentore, a traditional festival that lights up St. Mark’s bay. At dusk, just as they have done for centuries, numerous small boats decked out with balloons, decorations and brightly colored lanterns, begin to flock into St. Mark's Bay and the Giudecca Canal. Everyone then enjoys a sumptuous dinner of traditional Venetian specialties while they wait for the firework display that begins at 11:30 Saturday night and lasts until well past midnight Sunday morning.
