We begin at Combo, the former Convento dei Gesuiti, stepping out to admire the dazzling façade of the Church of the Jesuits. This 18th-century Baroque masterpiece will captivate you with its over-the-top grandeur and intricate design, impossible to fully capture in a single photo.

Off the Beaten Path: We’ll dive deep into the heart of Venice by night, wandering through its enchanting maze of narrow streets and hidden squares. The most magical part of Venice is its unpredictability—sometimes, the best way to explore is simply to wander aimlessly and let the city reveal its charm.

The Most Beautiful Hospital in the World Instead of a father-son Sunday soccer game, sculptor Pietro Lombardo and his sons created a high Renaissance polychrome marble façade for the Ospedale di San Giovanni e Paolo. Completed by Mauro Codussi, this masterpiece is breathtaking at sunset or night. The magnificent lions of St. Mark guard the entrance, while trompe l’oeil details captivate the eye. Today, it continues to serve as a public hospital.

An Equestrian Monument with Deception: Bartolomeo Colleoni’s bronze equestrian statue is one of only two public equestrian monuments in Venice. Commemorating one of Venice’s most loyal mercenary commanders, Colleoni served the Republic of Venice from 1448, occasionally switching sides when dissatisfied with pay or promotions.

Ponte dei Colafelzi This picturesque bridge is a hidden gem in Venice, offering a beautiful and peaceful spot to pause and admire the canal views. A perfect place to reflect on the beauty of Venice’s lesser-known corners, away from the crowds.

Pantheon of the Dogi Known as "San Zanipolo" in Venetian dialect, this church was designed to inspire awe with its vast interior. For centuries, it served as the final resting place for Venice’s rulers. The church’s stunning 15th-century stained glass and 25 Doge tombs make it a site of great historical significance.

Santa Maria Formosa and Spiderman: This beautiful campo marks the boundary between Venice’s tourist-heavy areas and its more authentic, local spaces. It’s also the setting for a thrilling moment in Spider-Man: Far From Home, where the superhero saves the bell tower from destruction.

A Final Magnificent View of Venice Highlights Piazza San Marco at night is serene and almost empty, offering a stark contrast to its busy daytime crowds. The square, illuminated softly by the lights of the cafés and basilica, becomes an intimate, tranquil space, making it a perfect moment to experience Venice without the usual crowds.
