Venice

Queen of the Adriatic. Venice is Italy's most iconic floating city, where centuries of history, grand palazzos and winding canals create one of the world's most extraordinary cultural landscapes.

Beyond The Grand Canal

Venice was the original superpower city. Like Monaco, Dubai and Singapore combined, the city-state poured 800 years of wealth into palazzi and piazze. It survived a millenium of conflict by wowing foreigners with boat races and masked balls. Venice gave the world the words ‘regatta’, ‘casino’ and ‘sequin’. Its 40km of canals showcase a spellbinding history lesson. Even the most unassuming churches hide a Tintoretto or a Titian.

Suspend Disbelief

The Grand Canal is just that. 50 palaces showcase unrivalled wealth. The Palazzo Ca d’Oro was built in Moorish style by Arabian traders. The Palazzo Venier dei Leoni hosts the Guggenheim Museum and its stock of Picassos. We’ll paddleboard down Europe’s richest ‘street’ and take a pitstop at the Palazzo Gritti. It once welcomed Greta Garbo and George Clooney and invented the Riva cocktail: white rum, blue curacao, orange bitters.
