Venice Express

Lose yourself in the island city of Venice, the original pedestrian zone!

Venice is filled with countless shops, restaurants, museums and other attractions. and on the Venice Express you can 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.

This special trip 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 coloured 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.
