Cannaregio
Off the Beaten Path: We’ll dive deep into the heart of Venice by night, wandering through its enchanting maze of narrow streets and hidden squares. The most magical part of Venice is its unpredictability—sometimes, the best way to explore is simply to wander aimlessly and let the city reveal its charm.

Scuola Grande di San Marco
The Most Beautiful Hospital in the World
Instead of a father-son Sunday soccer game, sculptor Pietro Lombardo and his sons created a high Renaissance polychrome marble façade for the Ospedale di San Giovanni e Paolo. Completed by Mauro Codussi, this masterpiece is breathtaking at sunset or night. The magnificent lions of St. Mark guard the entrance, while trompe l’oeil details captivate the eye. Today, it continues to serve as a public hospital.

An Equestrian Monument with Deception: Bartolomeo Colleoni’s bronze equestrian statue is one of only two public equestrian monuments in Venice. Commemorating one of Venice’s most loyal mercenary commanders, Colleoni served the Republic of Venice from 1448, occasionally switching sides when dissatisfied with pay or promotions.

Known as "San Zanipolo" in Venetian dialect, this church was designed to inspire awe with its vast interior. For centuries, it served as the final resting place for Venice’s rulers. The church’s stunning 15th-century stained glass and 25 Doge tombs make it a site of great historical significance.
