Must-See Highlights of the Tour
1. St. Mark’s Basilica and Square
It would be impossible to start any exploration of Venice without visiting St. Mark’s Square. With its Byzantine domes, marble façades, and elaborate mosaics, St. Mark’s Basilica is the crown jewel of Venetian architecture. But thanks to the tour’s hop-on-hop-off format, you’ll also get lesser-known insights—like stories about the basilica’s theft of St. Mark’s remains and the secret meanings behind its golden mosaics.
2. The Grand Canal and Rialto Bridge
The Grand Canal is Venice’s main artery, lined with centuries-old palaces. As part of the walking tour, you’ll stand at the Rialto Bridge—Venice’s oldest and most iconic span—and learn about the city’s trade history and how the bustling market area beneath the bridge once functioned as the heart of economic life.
3. Dorsoduro and the Artistic Heart of Venice
Cross the Accademia Bridge and enter Dorsoduro, a quieter, more residential neighborhood filled with artisan workshops, charming squares, and art galleries like the Peggy Guggenheim Collection. A Vox City guide—or your mobile audio guide—will lead you through the district’s cultural highlights, unveiling tales of Venetian painters, bohemian lifestyles, and centuries-old wine bars known as bacari.
4. Cannaregio and the Jewish Ghetto
Cannaregio offers a deep dive into one of Venice’s most historic and least touristy areas. Here, you’ll explore the Venetian Ghetto—the world’s first official Jewish ghetto—and its synagogues, kosher restaurants, and narrow alleyways filled with poignant stories of resilience, identity, and faith.
5. Evening Magic in San Polo
Choose the evening route and see Venice in a different light—literally. As the sun sets, the city transforms into a dreamlike scene. Walking past candlelit trattorias and glowing palazzi, the tour takes you through romantic hideaways and lively local squares. Enjoy stories about Venice’s love affairs, masked balls, and Renaissance intrigue as you take in the ambient beauty of the night.
