Il programma nel dettaglio

Excursion across the North Lagoon by boat with Russian-speaking assistant. A visit to Venice is incomplete without including an excursion into the Lagoon, the generous mother of the city which, on reflection, has been alone responsible for its glory. Its shallows, channels and mud banks, better than could any human hand, have protected it from all its enemies, whether human or natural.


The Lagoon, 550 square kilometres, 52 kilometres long and 8 kilometres at its widest, is the biggest lagoon in the Mediterranean. It comprises two main basins, of the North Lagoon and the South, the former being largely composed of scattered islands. Between these basins lies Venice, shaped as fish formed by 118 urban islands mostly barely discernable in the fabric of the city surrounded by perhaps 40 islands altogether scattered on a flat shallow lagoon.


Duration: One and a half hour.

Start/opening time: At 2:45pm.
