You'll marvel at the spiraled elegance of the Scala Contarini del Bovolo, experience the historic ambiance of Campo Manin, and wander the enigmatic Calle degli Orbi. Admire the opulent façade of La Fenice Theatre and the sacred architecture of the Church of San Moisè.

At the end of the tour, you will receive a QR code to download a digital map with 2D images of Venice from the Middle Ages to the 18th century.  You can compare some of the most fascinating places and discover how they appeared in different eras compared to today.
