ITINERARYThe tour begins at Bacino Orseolo just behind Saint Mark’s Square, following smaller but unbelievably beautiful secondary canals such as
Rio dei Barcaioli, where Mozart’s home is located, and
Rio dell’Ovo which connects to the Grand Canal. From here, you will have a spectacular view of the Rialto Bridge on your right, and to your left imposing
palazzi such as
Ca’ Farsetti, the seat of the municipal government and
Palazzo Grimani, the largest building overlooking the Grand Canal and at present the Appellate Court of Venice.
The tour continues down
Rio San Luca where it passes
Palazzo Manin, the residence of the last Doge of Venice, Ludovico Manin, and today the Bank of Italy’s regional headquarters.
