What's included in Venice by Night: Highlights & Hidden Gems Tour
(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
We begin at Combo, the former Convento dei Gesuiti, stepping out to admire the dazzling façade of the Church of the Jesuits. This 18th-century Baroque masterpiece will captivate you with its over-the-top grandeur and intricate design, impossible to fully capture in a single photo.
Cannaregio
Off the Beaten Path: We’ll dive deep into the heart of Venice by night, wandering through its enchanting maze of narrow streets and hidden squares. The most magical part of Venice is its unpredictability—sometimes, the best way to explore is simply to wander aimlessly and let the city reveal its charm.
Scuola Grande di San Marco
The Most Beautiful Hospital in the World Instead of a father-son Sunday soccer game, sculptor Pietro Lombardo and his sons created a high Renaissance polychrome marble façade for the Ospedale di San Giovanni e Paolo. Completed by Mauro Codussi, this masterpiece is breathtaking at sunset or night. The magnificent lions of St. Mark guard the entrance, while trompe l’oeil details captivate the eye. Today, it continues to serve as a public hospital.
