Venice Ghost & Legends Walking City Tour
Begin your evening adventure in one of Venice’s hidden squares, tucked away from the tourist crowds. As you wander through these shadowy streets, you'll hear tales of murder, betrayal, and unsolved mysteries that have haunted the city for centuries. This is no ordinary stroll; it's an exploration of Venice’s darker past.
As you walk through the Castello district, you'll uncover stories of Venetian Doges, noble families, and tragic tales of unrequited love. Learn of the ghostly sounds that drift from the Malibran Theatre at night—whispers of performances long past and the haunting memories of those who perished there.
The tour concludes in the Cannaregio district, where the shadows grow deeper, and the city's forgotten stories are etched into the very stones beneath your feet.
