How can one of Italy's most visited cities, one that is renowned the world over, have secrets that need unlocking? Ah, but this is why Venice is so fascinating. At the Londra Palace Venezia, we like nothing more than to open closed doors, to connect our guests with some of the artisans who carry forward ancient craft traditions, and to illuminate parts of the city and lagoon that few tourists ever see.
Venice, beyond gondolas
One of Italy’s great wetland ecosystems, the Venetian lagoon is a place of wide open vistas, fascinating flora and fauna and secret islands. Explore it in a traditional bragosso fishing boat, with a local guide, on this half-day or full-day cruise. Available from April to September.
A tapestry of wonders
Venice is still a city of craftspeople – but it takes local knowhow to reach those authentic practitioners who work outside the tourist circuit.
Hands-on fun in a real Venetian atelier
There’s a world of difference between a happy kid being given a mask and an ecstatic kid taking home a mask she or he made themselves, guided by the expert craftspeople of a true Venetian carnival atelier. Mum and dad are welcome to join in too!
