Venice has no cars, buses or even bicycles. Walking along its narrow streets and canals is the only way to really know the city. This Venice Walking Tour helps you find the main sights in that labyrinth, while still letting you enjoy getting lost.
What you see on the Venice Walking Tour
The route takes you to the Bridge of Sighs and the Doge's Palace, and to St. Mark's Basilica and the square in front of it. You cross the Rialto Bridge and explore its shopping district.
You also visit the Basilica of Santa Maria Gloriosa dei Frari, home to paintings by Titian and his tomb. You walk along the Grand Canal past the Ca' d'Oro palace, and reach the world's oldest Jewish ghetto, with its unusually tall buildings. And there are many photogenic corners along the way.
How the app works
Download the app for iPhone or Android, activate your purchase and follow the route on the map. Audio commentary plays as your personal guide, with illustrations to help you recognize each landmark. Once the tour is downloaded, the app works without an internet connection.
The audio guide is available any time, so the date and time you choose at checkout are only approximate.
Tips for walking in Venice
Start early or late in the day to avoid the busiest hours around St. Mark's and the Rialto. Wear comfortable shoes, because there are many bridges and steps. Take breaks in quieter squares in Cannaregio. With one year of access, you can also split the route over several days.
