Venice: A History and Art Lover's Escape

Check-in at 6:00 pm, followed by a welcome dinner at a traditional Venetian osteria, where you'll get to know the group over authentic local dishes and a first taste of the city's flavours, setting the tone for the days of art and discovery ahead.

Join a guided walking tour covering the city's most iconic landmarks, including Piazza San Marco, the Ponte di Rialto and the Palazzo Ducale, before venturing into Venice's quieter, lesser-known side: the winding streets of Cannaregio and Dorsoduro, the historic Jewish Ghetto, and the peaceful campielli tucked away from the crowds.

The afternoon offers the chance to visit, at your own pace, several art highlights around the city: the Fondazione Prada, housed in the striking Ca' Corner della Regina on the Grand Canal, the Palazzo delle Prigioni, hosting a Biennale collateral event, and the Museo Correr, home to a striking installation by Julian Charrière, with access included to the Doge's Palace.

Spend a full day immersed in the Venice Biennale at the historic Arsenale, one of the exhibition's most striking venues. Explore contemporary works from artists and countries around the world, set against the atmospheric backdrop of Venice's former shipyards, where centuries of maritime history meet cutting-edge artistic vision.

Spend a full day exploring the Giardini, the historic heart of the Venice Biennale, home to the national pavilions where countries from around the world present their vision of contemporary art. Don't miss the Central Exhibition, curated around this year's theme, "In Minor Keys" by Koyo Kouoh, weaving together diverse artistic voices and perspectives.

As the day comes to a close, we'll head back to collect our luggage before saying our final goodbyes, bringing to an end this immersive journey through Venice's art and history, a fitting farewell to a city that never stops surprising.
