Overview
Venice is easy to get lost in. This 38-stop self-guided audio tour takes you from Santa Lucia train station to St. Mark's Square through the quieter streets of Cannaregio and Marco Polo's neighbourhood, following a route most visitors never take.
Your guide is Mariacristina, a local with 25 years of experience who recorded this tour to share the city she knows best. You follow her voice on your phone, at your own pace.
Highlights include:
- The Jewish Ghetto, the first in Europe and origin of the word "ghetto"
- The Rialto Bridge and the Grand Canal
- Marco Polo's courtyard and the medieval trade routes behind it
- St. Mark's Basilica, the Doge's Palace and the Bell Tower
- Hidden churches, ancient wellheads and why Venice smells the way it does
How it works:
- Download the tour app (free, iOS and Android)
