Venice At Leisure

OVERVIEW

Spend hours exploring Venice on your own and linger at the attractions that you find to be the most intriguing. After settling in for a panoramic drive along the coast of the Adriatic Sea, you will reach Venice, a city with countless attractions. A privately chartered boat will bring you from one end of Venice to St. Mark’s Square, perhaps the city’s most iconic landmark. Over the next four hours or more, you can meander wherever you please. You might concentrate on nearby attractions such as the Doge’s Palace, the Bridge of Sighs and the Torre dell’Orologio, the early Renaissance clock tower that overlooks the Piazza San Marco. You may wish to see more distant areas of Venice by gondola and vaporetto, the popular water buses that zip along the canals and from island to island. Where you go is entirely up to you, but be sure to leave time for dining as Venice is renowned for its cuisine.
