The visit will include a stop at a traditional bacaro, where you will be able to enjoy a classic Venetian spritz and experience one of the most representative local customs. Afterwards, the walk will continue toward Riva del Carbon, where a special view of the Rialto Bridge will open up, a symbol of Venice’s mercantile power and one of the most recognizable points on the Grand Canal.
At the end, you will take away a closer view of Venice, combining history, architecture, local traditions, and corners full of character. This experience will be ideal for those who wish to discover the city beyond its main monuments, connecting the grandeur of St. Mark’s with the historic and commercial atmosphere of Rialto.
