Am travelling 23/10 - 27/10 (late flight home) with DD13. She likes sights but she doesn't want too much "boring history" so I keep the plans light 😀
Monday - Arrive 0905 Marco Polo 23/10. We are staying near San Stae vaparetto stop and will get the water bus from the airport. We are staying here https://abnb.me/0B1NXoz5zCb.
First day go to the market for food shopping (we will do a bit of self catering mixed with restaurants) then head out to St Mark's Basilica (and the terrace for midday to see the clock figures chiming), giardini reali, the clock tower to go inside the clock and museo de La musica. (Dd is an aspiring classical flautist with orchestra ambitions and also plays the viola so will be very interested in this museum)
Tuesday - start early with Row Venice, self guided tour of the Ghetto and general wandering about, drinking of wine and eating of snacks. then head to Murano for some lunch and the afternoon where we hope to do glassblowing, visit Simone Cenedese gallery and find the blue comet sculpture . Take vaparetto ride through grand Canal after we get back
Wednesday - a chilled morning on Burano and Torcello as Dd loves being out in the fresh air then back via Murano to collect our glass then wander around Dursoduro taking in Ca Macana mask place and the gondola boatyard. Vivaldi concert at the Vivaldi church in the evening
Thursday - start early at Doges Palace secret itinerary tour, Fondaco roof terrace, then just spend the afternoon soaking up the city before our 2140 flight
Does this sound doable, too much ? We like to take our time and factor in plenty of gardens and coffee stops
