Nothing beats visiting Venice on a comfortable boat where you can relax and admire the famous palaces on the Grand Canal. And it’s true that Venice was built to be seen from the water. An hour-long cruise down the Grand Canal gives us the chance to see the palaces, from the oldest to the most recent, which line the city’s main thoroughfare. We can appreciate the different types of architecture and learn about the people who built and lived in these prestigious homes.
It is also fun to see the smaller canals to get an idea in person of how complicated transport was and to appreciate the incredible know-how of the various boatpeople, from the gondoliers to the vaporetto pilots.
To make the cruise even more romantic, we have chosen sunset when the sun lights the sky and caresses the city with incredible hues of pink – the same pink that the great Tiepolo used in his canvases and frescoes.
