Cultural Travels from Home: Venice by Boat – a Palladian Cruise
Thursday 27th June 6.00PM BSTINTRODUCTION
Following our beautiful cruise along the Grand Canal last year, we rejoin Dr Luisella Romeo, one of the city’s most authoritative and popular guides, for another evening cruise in Venice with a special focus on the churches of Andrea Palladio. The guided tour will be broadcast from a private water taxi at twilight, one of the most evocative times of the day.
On our cruise we will have a chance to see the Biennale gardens from the water’s edge, entering the Arsenale Novissimo and then passing by the ancient church of San Pietro di Castello, redesigned in the 16th century by Andrea Palladio and once Venice’s official cathedral. We will pass by the islands of Certosa and the Lido, and then turn towards the islands of San Giorgio Maggiore and the Giudecca, in order to admire the gardens and the islands of the southern lagoon. As twilight approaches we will sail along the Giudecca Canal, stopping to admire its two great Palladian masterpieces – the churches of Il Redentore and San Giorgio Maggiore.
This will be a beautiful, unique and very relaxing way to enjoy the city from home!
The tour is interactive, so you will be able to put questions to our guide throughout the visit.
