Description
Behold the exceptional collection of Venetian paintings at the Gallerie dell’Accademia without waiting in line thanks to your fast-track ticket, then discover the lively Dorsoduro district accompanied by your guide.
Visit the Gallerie dell’Accademia in the company of an expert guide to admire the Venetian paintings dating from the 12th to the 17th century, along with works by the great 17th-century landscape painters.
You will then discover the neighbourhoods of Santa Croce and Dorsoduro, passing through Campo San Barnaba, the Bridge of Fists (Ponte dei Pugni) and San Sebastiano to reach San Trovaso. Your guide will also show you a shipyard where gondolas are built and tell you more about Venice’s long love affair with sailing.
