Alternative route

There exists another side of Venice, usually forgotten by tourists on their planned itineraries. It is the part of the city where authentic Venetian life can be experienced; quiet bridges and canals, narrow alley-ways, sunny squares and hidden churches.
This is everyday Venice, where the traditions of the city’s great past are jealously guarded, and the clock seems turned back to a simpler, more contented time. Art and history are mingled here too, creating an unforgettable setting full of decadent romanticism.
Here you will find suggestions for alternative ways to discover the city by getting closer to its culture and its secrets.
