Depart early in the morning on a high-speed train from Florence to Venice, a timeless city that you can reach in just about 2.5 hours. Upon arrival at Santa Lucia station, your adventure begins with a leisurely walk through the quiet calli of Venice in the early hours, when the city awakens gently to the sound of lapping waters and church bells.

Meet your guide in Piazza San Marco, where you can admire the majestic Basilica di San Marco, with its glittering mosaics, the soaring Campanile, and the elegant Doge’s Palace. Boarding a vaporetto, glide along the Grand Canal, enjoying a unique perspective of Venice’s palaces and bridges reflected in the shimmering waters. For lunch, you will have free time; we recommend stopping in a typical Venetian osteria to savor local specialties such as cicchetti, accompanied by the inevitable spritz.

In the afternoon, let yourself be carried away by the magic of Venice: wander through its labyrinth of alleys, discover enchanting hidden corners such as the Scala Contarini del Bovolo with its spiral staircase, or explore the fascinating Jewish Ghetto. Conclude your day admiring the fiery colors of the sunset from the Rialto Bridge, or treat yourself to an unforgettable gondola ride, the most romantic way to experience Venice. In the evening, return to Santa Lucia station to board your train. This is a shared day trip with guided service in Venice and independent travel on the train.
