Walks

Off the beaten track

Welcome to the Walks pages - here we have listed our suggestions for sight-seeing and interesting places to visit during your trip to Venice.

There are various discount cards that you can buy to make getting about Venice by public transport easier. The Blu Card covers all water bus transport in the lagoon and the Grand Canal (passes can be daily or weekly). The Orange card includes most museums and gives you discounts at some of the more touristy restaurants. These can both be bought at the Tourist Information Desk at Marco Polo Airport. Fore more details, or to buy online, visit www.venicecard.com.

The majority of museums in Italy are closed on Mondays unless specified.
