Discover the highlights of Venice on a guided tour, starting at St. Mark’s Basilica. Admire the splendid Byzantine cathedral of Venice, known since the 11th century as the golden church, due to the gold mosaics that cover it both externally and internally.
Continue with a visit to the Doge's Palace, which has always been the political heart of the Republic of Venice, the official residence of the Doge, and the seat of the city's main institutions. Gaze in awe at the marble lacework of the windows and the Gothic elements that grace the facade.
Once the morning visits are over, head over for lunch at Noemi, a typical Venetian restaurant a few steps from St. Mark's Square, where you will get to sample traditional Venetian cuisine, choosing from a carefully curated selection.
