• The iconic façade of Teatro La Fenice, Venice’s historic opera house
• The striking architecture of the Peggy Guggenheim Collection
• The majestic domes of Santa Maria della Salute reflected in the lagoon

An evening Gondola ride is a must do in Venice. It was fabulous to appreciate the grandeur of the Grand Canal and then slip down the quieter canals under the stars. Our Gondalier was fabulous telling us stories and pointing out things we may have missed.

The instructions for the meet point for the Gondola ride were not clear, however once we found the registration kiosk it was very straightforward. We were kindly helped onto the Gondola and the next 30 minutes were smoothly and effortlessly transported through the Canal of Venice
