Full description
Venice, the calm of the evening, the lights illuminating the canals and a vintage boat: this 1½-hour tour has all the makings of a favourite!
Cruise along the Giudecca Canal, reach St Mark's Basin and discover the history of theVenice Arsenal. Then admire the art installations of the Biennale and take some souvenir photos.
It will be a unique experience!
What we will do
We will meet at the meeting point in Venice, where our skipper will be waiting for us. After an initial welcome, we will board the boat, a vintage wooden boat, and begin the experience.
We will sail to the Mulino Stucky, a historic building dating back to the late 1800s and now a hotel. We will then take the Giudecca Canal and cross the Venetian lagoon to St Mark's Basin, the space in front of the magnificent square of the same name.
We will then pass through the Castello district and reach theArsenale, the shipyard complex that was the heart of the Serenissima's naval industry and arms production from the 12th century onwards. Today, part of the structure is used by the Venice Biennale for contemporary art exhibitions. Right next to the Biennale we will be able to see the work Building Bridges by Lorenzo Quinn, which consists of twelve giant hands.
The show will be impressive to say the least and the skipper will tell us some interesting trivia about the history of the Arsenale and the work we will see. After a few souvenir photos, we will return to the starting point.
The tour lasts a total of 1½ hours.
