Venice is a unique city that you have to enjoy. Following the advice of our local partner and friends of Ca’Foscari University, we have selected the best 10 activities to give you the opportunity to discover and enjoy the city as a true Venetian:

THE 10 THINGS TO DO IN VENICE:
  1. A tour in the RIALTO MARKET, the fish and fruit Venetian market (free).
  2. A relax walk in the GIARDINI REALI, the Royal Gardens, the small green lung close to Saint Mark’s Square (free entrance). A nice place to take a rest or a refreshment.
  3. A visit to the CAMPANILE, the bell tower, the so-called Paron de Casa (Owner of the House), in St. Mark’s Square.
  4. A visit to the PEGGY GUGGENHEIM museum.
  5. A visit to the NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUM located in San Stae.
  6. A visit to the stunning staircase SCALA DEL BOVOLO, 5 minutes far from St. Mark’s Square.
  7. A visit to the NAVAL MUSEUM with all its reconstructions of ships: the “Bucintoro” is a must for everybody.
  8. A visit to the DOGE’S PALACE to discover the History of Venice.
  9. A HANDCRAFTS WORKSHOP to paint a mask in one of many ateliers in Town; we can suggest you Ca’ Macana.
  10. A GONDOLA TOUR or a simple “TRAGHETTO” RIDE. The so-called “traghetti” are short rides (a couple of minutes) between one side and the other one on the Canal Grande and they are still used by all the Venetian residents. We suggest you to take the “traghetto” in San Tomà/Sant’Angelo or the one in Rialto/Ca’ d’Oro. The standard touristic tour by Gondola lasts about 30 minutes and the price is € 80 (or € 100 during night-time), while the “traghetto” has a lower price, just € 2 per person. An advice: before getting on board for a touristic ride, always ask about the price to the Gondolier.
