Venice in the Shadows

Night charm and mystery, mixed with magnificent art and history...make your tour in Venice an exciting and intriguing experience.


Duration of tour: 2 hours

Booking: IV Travel

Venice after dark is extremely evocative, with her eerily lit churches and palaces silhouetted against the night sky, allowing free rein of your imagination. From the Clock Tower in St. Mark's you will walk to Campo Santa Maria Formosa, passing by the palace that was the residence of beautiful Bianca Cappello and the so-called 'Angel' palace. The area around Campo San Giovanni e Paolo is a treasure-trove of artistic and architectural sights: the equestrian monument of Bartolomeo Colleoni and the Miracoli Church are just two of them. Proceed to the ancient economic heart of the city - the Rialto, with the Church of San Giacometto, reputedly one of the oldest in Venice. Continue to the most celebrated Venetian theatre, the ill-fated 'La Fenice' Opera House, famous throughout the world. A few steps will take you to the impressive spiral staircase of Palazzo Contarini. Far from being a pedantic list of things to see, the tour will have an amusing, communicative character, stimulating conversation among the participants and will include a stop for drinks with your tour guide in a typical Venetian pub or club, whenever possible. In an elegant Venetian house, you will get a glimpse of how real Venetians live.

Guide service and one drink in a typical Venetian pub, club or Venetian house.
