Why this trip
No cars, no noise of engines, only the lapping of water at the fondamenta: Venice is a city where you slow your rhythm whether you want to or not. Spread over 118 islands, the lagoon city is a destination for travellers who want to celebrate an occasion such as a marriage proposal or an anniversary in a setting that exists only once. The Basilica di San Marco and the Doge's Palace lie on St Mark's Square, and both deserve an early visit, before the groups arrive. The Rialto Bridge is a place of crowds, but in morning light also a place of wonder.
Anyone who wants to escape the crowd goes to Burano, where coloured houses stand on canals and lace is an old craft. April to June and September to October are the favourable times, and the flight time is about one to one and a half hours. Rome lies as a neighbouring destination in Italy. Because Venice is small, a few days are enough, and precisely for that reason every decision counts: location of the accommodation, time of the visit, moment of the dinner.
Once in a Lifetime discusses this schedule with you in the video call with care.
