Venice Day Trip from Bologna

Venice Day Trip from Bologna

Embark on a day trip to Venice from Bologna, traveling comfortably and sustainably by high-speed train. In just a short journey, you’ll reach the heart of this timeless city, where you’ll uncover both its hidden corners and its most famous landmark - St. Mark’s Basilica. This experience offers the perfect balance between exploration and relaxation.

As soon as you arrive in Venice, a local expert guide will be waiting to lead you on an immersive journey through the city’s most authentic areas. Step away from the main tourist routes and dive into the quieter, more atmospheric districts, where Venice reveals its true character. Stroll along hidden alleyways, cross charming bridges, and admire peaceful canals while listening to captivating stories about the city’s history and traditions.

After this enchanting walk, you’ll enjoy a guided tour of St. Mark’s Basilica, one of Venice’s most breathtaking treasures. With privileged access, you’ll explore its golden mosaics and intricate architecture before heading up to the terrace, where a spectacular view over St. Mark’s Square awaits.

The rest of the afternoon is yours to enjoy at your own pace. Take in the beauty of Venice’s winding streets, stop for a coffee by the canals, or simply soak up the unique atmosphere before your return train to Bologna.
