Description
If it’s your first day in Venice, start here! Venice in two hours and a half hours: from lagoon to Republic to fall, from Rialto to San Marco. The history you need on day one, with a licensed guide.
We start at Rialto, where the city has always done business, in front of the church tradition holds to be the oldest. After a coffee break nearby, we cross the Rialto Bridge, for centuries the only crossing over the Grand Canal. From there we follow the Mercerie, the street that linked the market to the seat of power, and see how the Republic was governed and why it looked East. We arrive in Piazza San Marco, where power was put on stage, and end with the fall of the Republic in 1797 and the 1849 cannonball, a mark of the Austrian siege. With a licensed tour guide, you’ll get the essential history in two hours to find your way through the rest of your visit.
