Experience how was the Venetian public transportation in the past

Duration 35 minutes
Language Italian
Availability Every day
Experience culture, beauty and romance of Venice in a relaxing way. Your visit to Venice would not be complete without treating yourself to a gondola ride accompanied with a beautiful serenade.
Today the Gran Canal is filled with modern transportation, but the gondolas still holds a valuable place in Venice’s history as one of the icons of the city. In the 17th and 18th century it is estimated that there were anywhere from eight to ten thousand gondolas that treaded through the canals of Venice. Today the art of the gondolier is being preserved in the historical center of Venice with only four hundred gondolas remaining. Taking a ride on a gondola gives you a different perspective of the city and takes you by places that you might have not been able to reach by foot.
Since we want you to enjoy, relax and take in the beauty of the sights around you no commentary from the guide will be given but your ears will be filled with a splendid serenade. Take this time to sit back, relax and enjoy the ride!

Venice has developed a reputation for over-priced, touristy food — that could not be further from the truth. Our Venice food tour is going to change your opinion of Venetian food by sending you beyond the worn out tourist spots with an expert Venetian foodie, who will school you in the rich culinary history of Venice, while showing you the best spots to sample its gastronomic delights.
We’ll start by visiting the twin hearts of Venice’s food scene; the Rialto fruit and vegetable market and the Rialto fish market.
All this talk of food will make you hungry so we’ll be sure to sample sumptuous local wine and cicchetti along the way. The cicchetti is Venice’s answer to the Spanish tapas and includes local delicacies like crostini (bread with delicious toppings like whipped cod) and Venetian panini (technically sandwiches, but so much more). At each bar your guide will help you to choose two of the best cicchetti and of course a glass of wine, Prosecco or spritz to wash it down.
Next you’ll board a gondola to cross the Grand Canal to Cannaregio, a favorite among locals for its great food scene, beautiful streets and piazzas and its much more relaxed vibe away from the tourist route.
Your adventure here continues to another local bar for a different kind of cicchetti. Fritti is a common dish of fried fish or vegetables made popular in this very area. We’ll take our fritti as the locals do – on a stick, to go – and embark on a short stroll across bridges and piazzas of Cannaregio.
Your tour culminates in a stop at our favorite Venetian restaurant; a friendly and atmospheric neighborhood trattoria called La Colonna. Here you’ll be warmly greeted by the host and served a plate of the day’s pasta special, washed down of course, with another glass of wine.
With intimate groups of 12 people or fewer we don’t just want you to eat well for a day, we want to show you how to eat like a Venetian for your entire stay.
Inclusions - Until 28 February 2018:
Two cicchetti bar stops where you will receive two cicchetti and a glass of wine each
One cicchetti bar stop where you will receive fritti to go
Lunch at a local trattoria plus another glass of wine

Exclusive private access to St. Mark's Basilica after hours: no crowds, no lines!
Experience being inside St.Mark's Basilica alone!
Enjoy the intimacy of a small groups, with a maximum of 15 people
Gain privileged entrance to the Doge's Palace, admire Venice's most famous sites
Duration 3 hours 30 minutes
Language English
Availability On selected dates
You can’t go to Venice without visiting St. Mark’s Basilica and the Doge's Palace, the city’s two top sites. So why not make the experience as enjoyable, educational, and easy as possible? Give us a few hours of your time, and we promise you’ll feel like you didn’t just "do" these sites - you experienced them in the most rewarding, fascinating way possible. You will not only enjoy privileged access to the Doge’s Palace, minimizing your time in line, but you will get private access to St.Mark's Basilica after hours.
Start with a guided tour of the Doge's Palace. What the Vatican is to Rome, the Doge's Palace is to Venice: for seven hundred years, the remarkable palace has been the home of not only the Doge, but of Venice’s (independent!) government, courts, and even prisons.
Visit the centre of Venice’s power and history at Palazzo Ducale, including the sumptuous Doge’s apartments and the Hall of the Great Council, with its stunning frescoes by Veronese and Tintoretto. Discover the secret stories behind the artworks, like why one doge in the painted series is covered by a black veil. Learn the history of Venice’s famed Dukes - how they were chosen, what they did and why you may not have wanted the position for yourself.
On this guided tour you’ll have the opportunity to explore the massive armory, and the spooky prisons. Finish with a visit inside the Bridge of Sighs, where your guide will tell you why it’s not quite as romantic as you thought.
After a short break you will continue to St. Mark's Basilica (already closed to the public for the day) where a custodian unlocks the Basilica’s doors for you, walking you inside Venice’s most important site empty!
Inside, take a deep breath. You’re experiencing St. Mark’s Basilica as almost nobody else does, or ever has ever been able to aside from the Doge himself. You’ll experience the basilica as it should be experienced: in tranquility and peace.
You will also get to see the Pala d’Oro, the spectacular, Byzantine altarpiece that uses more than 1,900 gems! During the day, there’s a line to see this, but now? You have it all to yourself.
Since you’re alone in the basilica, you can even go where others visiting during the day, can’t. Like the crypt, which the custodian unlocks for you: This is where the bones of St. Mark are said to actually be kept. Plus, you can see the stained walls here from the past floods that have devastated Venice - the crypt used to be flooded every time the high tide hit the city!
Aside from the emptiness of the basilica, nighttime is the best time to visit because that’s when the mosaics are at their most beautiful. All 43,000 square feet are lit up, glimmering and sparkling in the dark!
If just seeing the basilica this way weren’t entrancing enough, there’s also your guide, an expert who’s passionate about Venetian art and history - and about sharing it with you in the most fun way possible. You’ll hear the swashbuckling tale of how St. Mark’s became St. Mark’s… a story that pivots on a kidnapping and and a dangerous sea voyage! You’ll learn where the precious marbles decorating St. Mark’s really come from…
It’s just a few hours, see two top sites and get memories that will last a lifetime!

Just a few steps from some of the world’s greatest sights, the Splendid Venice is a charming luxury hotel, as elegant as Venice herself. It was first mentioned in the sixteenth century, the heyday of the Republic, when it was known as the Black Hat Inn, where Calle della Regina meets Rio dei Baretteri.
Over time, its various owners have expanded it and turned it into what you see today, two townhouses united in a harmonious ensemble. A place where passion, beauty and memory come together to create an unforgettable experience.
The spirit of the old inn lives on. You can sense it in the warm, personal welcome and the cosy, intimate public areas – like the lobby, which eschews the classic open design for a succession of small Levantine parlours.
The Splendid Venice exudes an instantly seductive charm, a timeless, nonchalant model of perfection, made of subtle moods and exquisitely thoughtful attention to detail.
The hotel enjoys a central yet quiet location just a short stroll – or gondola ride – from some of the city's iconic landmarks. There is also a water entrance and private mooring for boats on the Rio dei Baretteri.
The 165 rooms and suites offer Venetian elegance at its finest. Many vaunt wonderful views over the canals and rooftops, the bell towers and the terraces, called "altanas". All have luxurious, refined furnishings and exquisite details, where silver, brown and lilac set the tone for the wallpaper and damask designs that evoke the Serenissima’s textile tradition.
The Splendid Venice offers so much more. Like the chance to contemplate Venetian majesty in tranquility. Like the breathtaking views you can absorb from the hotel’s altana overlooking the beautiful rooftops and bell towers of this floating city. Drink it all in with a classic Spritz, a Bellini or an exclusive Laguna cocktail.
Staying at the Splendid Venice means plunging into the Serenissima’s soul at its most authentic. The restaurant promises a gourmet dining experience with an array of authentic Venetian recipes to savour.
The spacious meeting room accommodates up to 35 people in a relaxed, private setting for high-level events and meetings.
From the Les Clefs d'Or Concierge to the 24-hour room service, from the tranquil library to the delightful roof terrace, all our services are carefully crafted to make your stay simply unforgettable.
Rooms & Suites
At Splendid Venice, staying in is as great a pleasure as going out. The 165 rooms – including 16 suites and 4 junior suites, several with balconies and views over St Mark’s – are all luxuriously, sumptuously furnished, with a sophisticated sense of detail.
Your room is a tranquil, restful place for taking it easy or recharging your batteries before exploring the most beautiful city in the world. Silver, brown and lilac set the tone, with wallpapers and damask designs that evoke the Serenissima’s textile tradition. The same pattern is echoed in the outline of the bedheads.
Dining
Le Maschere restaurant welcomes guests and lovers of fine food for an unforgettable dining experience in pure Serenissima style.
Beneath the inscrutable gazes of the Venetian carnival masks and the reflections in the polished bronze sculptures that adorn the dining room, Le Maschere's consummately professional waiters move with choreographed precision. Many guests wisely seek their sage counsel for the à la carte selections.
Meetings & Events
Venice is a unique destination that can make any event unforgettable. With its central location and its refined, elegant atmosphere rich in history, the Splendid Venice is the ideal setting for private and business meetings.
Each event is expertly organized by our Splendid Venice Event Manager, who will be delighted to meet your every need with a comprehensive, impeccable service.
