Venice never ceases to amaze, but for those who truly want to experience its most authentic atmosphere, there are two unmissable experiences: on one side, the refined elegance of Ca’ Rezzonico, one of the city’s most beautiful Baroque palaces; on the other, an alternative walking tour through the Rialto area, featuring hidden alleys, surprising views, and the discreet charm of the Fortuny Palace. Two different souls, both deeply Venetian.
Ca’ Rezzonico: a leap into the 18th century on the Grand Canal
Overlooking the Grand Canal, Ca’ Rezzonico is one of Venice’s most captivating historic residences. With its frescoed halls, crystal chandeliers, and original 18th-century furnishings, it embodies a refined and opulent Venice.
The visit takes you on a journey through time, into the festive atmosphere of the Carnival and the tales of Giacomo Casanova, an icon of intrigue and freedom. Each grand salon opens a window onto the aristocratic life of the Serenissima, blending elegance and seduction.
This is the perfect experience for lovers of art, history, and imagination, an opportunity to live Venice not just as a spectator, but as a protagonist in a novel from a bygone era.
Rialto off the beaten path: secret courtyards and the charm of Palazzo Fortuny
If, on the other hand, you are drawn to hidden Venice, the one made of silence, unexpected corners, and details that escape hurried glances, the walking tour in the Rialto area is ideal for you. Led by an expert local guide, you’ll explore lesser-known alleys while hearing stories and curiosities that give voice to the city’s most genuine soul.
During the tour of Riva del Carbon you will also see the iconic Rialto Bridge, a pillar of Venice’s commercial power and the beating heart of the district. But the greatest surprise awaits shortly after: optional access to Palazzo Fortuny, a hidden gem overlooking the Grand Canal.
Once the home and creative studio of the visionary Mariano Fortuny, this extraordinary palace is now a magical place where art, design, and theatricality coexist. Its rooms, adorned with pastel colors and floral frescoes, evoke the sensation of walking through a suspended garden, offering a deeply evocative experience for those seeking a journey into the finest Venetian creativity.
One city, two unforgettable experiences
These two experiences are different yet perfectly complementary. Ca’ Rezzonico immerses you in the aristocratic grandeur of 18th-century Venice, while the entrance to the Fortuny Palace reveals the city’s hidden soul: mysterious, elegant, and quietly beautiful.
Whether you wish to dive into the splendor of the past or wander through secret stories and postcard views, one thing is certain: you will discover a deeply enchanting Venice.
