But what can you do in Venice once you arrive?
In addition to the classic attractions like St. Mark’s Square and the Rialto Bridge, there’s a quieter, more hidden side of the city.
Here’s a list of 7 unusual and curious activities to make your visit truly unforgettable.
- The Biennale Gardens
The traditional venue for the Biennale Art Exhibitions, the Gardens are located on the eastern edge of Venice and were created by Napoleon in the early 19th century. During the Biennale, these splendid gardens become the heart of the international art world with over 30 pavilions showcasing art and architecture from around the globe. During quieter times, the park remains an oasis of peace, away from the tourist crowds. - Peggy Guggenheim Collection
This beautiful palace on the Grand Canal, once the home of Peggy Guggenheim, now hosts her private collection of masterpieces. The works on display include pieces by Picasso, Kandinsky, Dalí, and Pollock. A must-see for art lovers. - Rialto Market
Located near the famous bridge, this market is the heartbeat of everyday Venetian life. Here you can buy fresh produce such as fruits, vegetables, and local fish. It’s a historic stop, active for hundreds of years, perfect for those who want to experience Venice like a true local. - Libreria Acqua Alta
A truly unique bookstore where books are creatively stored in gondolas and bathtubs to protect them from frequent floods. A magical place to get lost among thousands of volumes, perfect for book lovers. A small staircase made of old books also offers a view of the canals. - Taste "Cicchetti" in a Local Bacaro
Bacari are small, typical Venetian taverns where you can taste "cicchetti," usually slices of bread topped with fish or cured meats, accompanied by a glass of wine or spritz. This is also a great way to immerse yourself in local daily life. - Excursion to the Islands of Murano, Burano, and Torcello
The colorful houses of Burano are a feast for the eyes, while Murano will charm you with its ancient glass-making tradition. In Torcello, cross the Devil’s Bridge, which legend says was built in a single night by a demon. - The Lido of Venice
If you want to take a break from the city’s hustle and bustle, the Lido of Venice awaits with its sandy beaches. This long strip of land separates the lagoon from the Adriatic and offers the perfect environment to relax under the sun. It can be easily reached in less than an hour by ferry.
By staying at our hotel, you will have the opportunity to discover an authentic and hidden Venice, far from the classic tourist routes.
