Overview

We will take you through the narrow and quiet Venetian streets between the Cannaregio district and the Ancient Jewish Ghetto, the wonderful antiques shop windows and traditional Jewish shops. We will be able to stop and drink an excellent espresso in the small coffee shop in the city that has been using the same recipe for almost a century.
We can then head towards the beating heart of Venice in the San Polo and San Marco districts. We will not fail to cross the Rialto Bridge and take a tour of the Rialto Market. We will visit a "hidden place" from which to appreciate a completely exclusive view of the Grand Canal.
For lunch, an ancient bacaro hides among the narrow and intricate calli of Venice where you can enjoy excellent traditional Venetian cicchetti.
We will reach Piazza San Marco, surrounded by its main buildings and we will arrive at the Bridge of Sighs; finally you can visit the Basilica of San Marco (not included).
Afterwards, we will take the ferry boat to reach the rail station.

Ponte di Rialto

The Rialto Bridge is the oldest of the four bridges on the Grand Canal. It is famous for both its architecture and its history. For years it was the hub of the economy of Venice.The Rialto Bridge was built between 1588 and 1591, based on a project by the architect Antonio da Ponte, to replace the previous wooden structure, which collapsed twice and burned on various occasions.The structure of the bridge is similar to the previous ones and consists of two inclined ramps joined by a portico in the center.
