Begin your tour at a convenient meeting point, carefully chosen for its iconic Venetian setting and easy accessibility. Follow your guide to a traditional Venetian trattoria where Emily is shown dining in the series — a fun behind-the-scenes detail, as the scene is actually set in Rome, even though it was filmed here in Venice.
Pass through a Venetian campo where Emily and Mindy go sightseeing as soon as they arrive in Venice, stopping for photos — including a memorable selfie with some very handsome gondoliers. Stop on a distinctive iron bridge, just like Emily and Mindy do, to take selfies and enjoy the city as curious tourists wandering through Venice.
See the location of the fashion show organized by Emily and her colleagues, a moment that initially looks like a disaster because of the acqua alta, but ultimately turns into an unexpected success — even earning the final approval of Marcello’s mother, Muratori. Pass by Hotel Danieli, where a celebration is held on the terrace to mark the success of the fashion show, with Venice providing a spectacular backdrop for the party.
Pass through St. Mark’s Square, a must-see for every visitor to Venice, where you’ll board a gondola traghetto to cross the Grand Canal and reach the Dorsoduro district. Continue along the Canal Grande, where Emily and Mindy are seen sightseeing by water taxi in the series.
Explore this area on foot, following the canal’s edge and stopping at key viewpoints featured in the episode. From here, enjoy iconic views of Venice’s palaces, bridges, and daily life along the water, while hearing how this stretch of the Canal Grande was used on screen to introduce the city’s most cinematic side. This stop captures the spirit of discovery and friendship seen in the show.
From this church, look out toward the hotel where Emily stays, overlooking the Grand Canal. From its terrace, Emily and Mindy discuss the long-awaited marriage proposal — a moment filled with hope that, as fans know, will never actually happen. End your tour near the Accademia Bridge, where Emily enjoys a tiramisù by the canal, secretly hoping to find an engagement ring inside from Marcello — a romantic expectation that, as fans know, will never come true.
