Venice the Heart of Italy

Start & end in Venice 5 days Up to 8

About this trip

Five days based in Venice, with enough time to get past the postcard views and settle into the rhythm of the city. Expect a mix of guided sightseeing and free time to wander canals and alleyways at your own pace.

You'll take in the major landmarks like St Mark's Basilica alongside quieter moments — a gondola ride through the canals, a wander through the Rialto Market, and meals built around proper Venetian cooking.

It's a relaxed, partially guided trip, so there's room to explore on your own between the organised bits, making it a good fit for families or anyone who prefers a slower pace over a packed itinerary.

What you'll do

  • Visit St Mark's Basilica
  • Browse the stalls at Rialto Market
  • Take a gondola ride through Venice's canals
  • Sit down to authentic Venetian dishes
  • Wander the city's quieter back alleys and lesser-known corners
Good to know
  • Partially guided — some days include free time to explore independently
  • Relaxed pace suited to families or those wanting a slower trip
  • You stay based in Venice throughout rather than moving between towns
