Moments in Venice

Slowly drifting down a canal in Venice, we glide by buildings that are works of art and pass beneath bridges spanning centuries.

Then we walk to the bridge, the Rialto Bridge, a bridge that is perhaps the most famous and beautiful on earth. Later, strolling through crowded lanes, we look up. You'll see why looking up is such a good idea when you are in Venice: instead of seeing the head in front of you, you see... well, watch the video to discover what it is that you see.

But Venice is more than its landmarks. It’s found in the quiet ripples of the lagoon at dawn, the laughter of children chasing pigeons in Piazza San Giacomo, and the way the golden light of sunset dances on the Grand Canal. It’s in the echo of footsteps on deserted alleys long after the crowds have gone.

To truly know Venice, step away from the usual paths. Wander through the Jewish Ghetto, explore the hidden courtyards, or lose yourself in the lesser-known sestieri. There's a different Venice beyond the tourist trail—one waiting to be uncovered.

So join us as we travel to this most beautiful of all Italian cities. A city where history seems to hang in the very air and where the hotels, streets, and canals have seen the passage of time, the faces of a thousand years, and the stories of countless thousands of lives lived and lost in this city.

Return to Venice when you can. Add your story to the mosaic of its history.
