We are fortunate to be overlooking the San Vio Canal, close to the Academy of Fine Arts and the famous Peggy Guggenheim Gallery and Foundation. Just a short walk and you are soon viewing some of the finest art examples in the world. Peggy Guggenheim had an amazing collection and today you can view some wonderful pieces from Dali, Picasso, Magritte and Ernst to name but a few. There are over 400 works of art. Next door at the Academy you will find collections that have been restored from all over the world.
San Marco is where you will find the beautiful Correr Museum and where you will find some of the famous shops and Cafe Florian and Cafe Quadri - luxurious coffee stop off, then on to the jewellers a little way along and perhaps something gold and shiny for your loved one..........
Mercier is the main shopping street - Cartier, Rolex, Max Mara, Gucci, Louis Vuitton and many others. Be sure to treat yourself and take a look in these wonderful designer fashion houses.
There are a number of events taking place throughout the year including the famous Mardi Gras in February time - get dressed up and choose a mask that is appropriate to your taste - fantasy, comedy or the more traditional. You can take one home as a souvenir too.
Soak up the atmosphere, enjoy the Rialto market, walk over the Bridge and meander the streets around and about St Marks Square.
