Venice yacht charter

Moor near St Mark’s Square, or Piazza San Marco, the principal square of Venice and visit the ‘drawing room of Europe’, including St Mark’s Basilica, Doge’s Palace and the Torre dell’Orologio.

Whilst in Venice, take a gondola for the day and cruise the famous canals, pass St Mark’s square, get lost in the back streets, visit the famous fish market or one of the many museums finishing with a cocktail at Harry’s Bar or Cipriani’s.

Founded in 1932 and one of the oldest film festivals in the world, the Venice International Film Festival is organised by the Biennale di Venezia and promotes international cinema in all its forms. Retrospectives and tributes to major figures are also organised as a contribution towards a better understanding of the history of cinema. One of the “big three” festivals alongside The Cannes Film Festival and Berlin Film Festival, it is a glamorous event not to be missed.

There is no better time for lovers of romance to discover this enchanting, watery city than during this world-famous carnival. Just as they have for hundreds of years, Venetians throw a 10-day party during the month of February celebrating the end of winter and the onset of spring. Italian aristocrats and international jet-setters throw modesty aside and get dressed up in the full regalia.
