“Venice of Water and Fire: A Tour through History, the Arsenal, and the Art of Glass”｜Italy

What we'll do

We will meet at the meeting point in Venice, where our skipper will be waiting for us. After a brief welcome, we will board the boat, a vintage wooden vessel, and begin our experience.

We will sail to Mulino Stucky, a historic building from the late 1800s that is now a hotel. We will then enter the Giudecca Canal and cross the Venice Lagoon to reach Saint Mark's Basin, the area in front of the magnificent square of the same name.

Next, we will pass through the Castello district and reach the Arsenale, the shipyard complex that, starting in the 12th century, was the heart of the Serenissima's shipbuilding and arms production industry. Today, part of the complex is used by the Venice Biennale for contemporary art exhibitions.

After resuming our journey, we will head to Murano, where we will stop for about 30 minutes to visit a glass factory and learn the secrets of glassmaking from a glassblower. Afterwards, it will be time to return to the starting point.
