Circumnavigating Venice

Travel time (navigation only): 2.5 hrs (half-day trip)

Arsenale Certosa San Marco Stuky

The itinerary starts from Canale di Cannaregio in Venice. Once left Venice, by turning right and going in Canale delle Sacche, you will get to Fondamenta Nuove. On your left you can admire Murano, the island of glass and of the furnaces, with its imposing lighthouse, still working, and the famous San Michele cemetery with its numerous cypresses. Going ahead, you will pass next to the crenellated walls of the Arsenale, the ancient shipyard.

Pointing the Lido, you will pass over San Pietro di Castello and the island of La Certosa, with its beautiful park and a wonderful dock full of boats, where a brief stop-over is possible.

Once arrived in Lido, proceeding right you will get to the island of the Lazzaretto Vecchio, quarantine area for people and good under by the Serenissima. Going up Canale di San Lazzaro, you will get to the island of San Lazzaro degli Armeni which is worthy of a visit for its monastery, the various convent halls, and its gardens.

After that, going on Canale dell’Orfano, you will reach the magnificent San Marco basin, from which you will see the dock of the Piazzetta (with Palazzo Ducale, the two columns of San Marco and San Todaro, and the façades of the Biblioteca Marciana), the Riva degli Schiavoni (with the austere Prisons’ façade), the island of San Giorgio Maggiore (with its basilica and monastery), and Punta della Dogana, with its characteristic Palla d’Oro (“golden sphere”).

The itinerary goes on along Canale della Giudecca, where you can enjoy the view of various churches and of Molino Stucky, the ancient mill which has become an icon of the industrial architecture in Italy and which today hosts an important hotel chain.
Finally, you will get back to our offices by taking Canale della Scomezzera.
