From there, dive into the city’s heart as you cross the iconic Piazza San Marco, before heading off the beaten path toward the charming Ponte della Tetta, a bridge steeped in local lore.

Continue on to the stately Palazzo Grimani, once the residence of a powerful Renaissance family, before arriving at the majestic Campo Santi Giovanni e Paolo, often called the Pantheon of Venice for its monumental dogal tombs.
