- Canal Grande - After a 2.5-hour train ride from Milan, begin your Venice tour! The Grand Canal, the largest in Venice, showcases Venetian-Gothic architecture. Venice’s canals, which crisscross the city like streets, are a defining feature. The Grand Canal, the largest, spans four kilometers and divides the city in two. You’ll also get to see the Sanctuary of St. Lucy.
- Chiesa di San Giorgio dei Greci - The Campanile di San Giorgio dei Greci, known as the ‘leaning clocktower,’ was designed by Simone Sorella and completed in 1592. It began tilting early in its construction. Both the bell tower and the adjoining church were built by and for Venice’s Greek community, mainly sailors and merchants.
- Strada Nova - The widest street in Venice, Strada Nova, was created in the 19th century to provide rapid pedestrian access between Rialto and the railway station. This route, consisting of wide streets connected by bridges, required the demolition of buildings that would have otherwise created a long, winding path through narrow streets.
- Ponte di Rialto - The Rialto Bridge is the oldest of the four bridges spanning Venice’s Grand Canal. It is renowned for its architecture and history and was once the hub of Venice’s economy.
- Piazza San Marco - St. Mark’s Square is Venice’s main public square and one of the world’s most captivating. Napoleon Bonaparte called it “the most beautiful hall in Europe.” Nearby is the Patriarchal Cathedral Basilica of Saint Mark, commonly known as St. Mark’s Basilica. The interior domes, vaults, and upper walls are adorned with gold-ground mosaics depicting saints, prophets, and biblical scenes.
- Ponte dei Sospiri - Known as the Bridge of Sighs, this iconic Venetian monument was built in the 1600s and connects the Doge’s Palace to the historic prison across the canal. It earned its name because, during the Serenissima, prisoners would sigh as they crossed it, seeing the outside world for the last time.
- Chiesa di San Zaccaria - The Church of San Zaccaria, a 15th-century former monastic church, is located in central Venice’s Campo San Zaccaria. Built between 1458 and 1515, its facade is a harmonious blend of late-Gothic and Renaissance styles.
- Ponte dell’Accademia - The Ponte dell’Accademia is one of only four bridges crossing Venice’s Grand Canal. Located near the southern end of the canal, it is named after the Accademia di Belle Arti di Venezia.
- Squero di San Trovaso - The Squero di San Trovaso is one of Venice’s oldest and most famous squeros, traditional shipyards where small boats like gondolas are repaired. Here, you can see how a gondola is made or repaired.
- Campo San Pantalon - Visit the beautiful Campo San Pantalon to admire Banksy’s famous painting, commonly referred to as “the shipwrecked/migrant child.”
- Campo Santa Margherita - Located in the Dorsoduro sestiere, Campo Santa Margherita is a city square near university buildings and a popular gathering spot for students at the end of the day.
- Piazzale Roma - Piazzale Roma is a square at the city’s entrance, at the end of the Ponte della Libertà. Along with nearby Tronchetto island, it is one of the only places in Venice’s insular urban core accessible to motor vehicles like cars and buses. At the end of the tour, take the train back to Milan (2.5 hours).
