If you are lucky enough to be in Venice this weekend, prepare for one of the most unforgettable spectacles in the world! 🛶✨

This Sunday, September 6th, the entire Grand Canal comes alive with the Regata Storica—Venice’s premier celebration of rowing heritage and maritime pride.

Here’s what makes this day so special:

👑 The Living History: The afternoon kicks off with the Corteo Storico, an ornate procession of 15th- and 16th-century-style vessels carrying costumed dignitaries and the Doge to celebrate Caterina Cornaro, the Queen of Cyprus who gifted her kingdom to Venice in 1489.

🏆 Pure Athletic Rivalry: Following the pageant, the canal becomes a battlefield for Voga alla Veneta (standing rowing). You’ll see youth prodigies, fierce women's teams, heavy six-oar caorline, and finally, the legendary 9 champion crews sprinting in color-coded gondolini.

📌 Guest Tips for Sunday:

Timing: The water pageant starts making its way along the Grand Canal around 4:00 PM, with the championship races running through the late afternoon.

Where to Watch: Any public riva (bank) along the Grand Canal between Rialto and Accademia offers a front-row view. The official finish line is at the historic Machina floating pavilion right in front of Ca’ Foscari.

Water Bus Alert: Vaporetto lines along the Grand Canal will be suspended or rerouted during the regatta, so plan to explore on foot!

Did you know the canals of Venice are teeming with marine life? 🐟🌊

When the boat traffic slows down and the tide brings in fresh Adriatic water, you’ll often spot schools of cefali (grey mullet) gliding right along the canal walls and marble steps.

The Venetian lagoon is a living, breathing tidal ecosystem—not just a scenic backdrop!

Have you ever spotted fish or marine life while crossing a bridge in Venice? ✨

Golden hour along the Zattere hits differently. 🌅✨

Wide promenades, a gentle breeze coming off the Giudecca Canal, and watching the sunset paint the lagoon in shades of amber and rose. Whether you’re grabbing a gianduiotto from Gelateria da Nico or enjoying an unhurried evening stroll, this is where Venice slows down.

📍 Fondamenta delle Zattere, Dorsoduro

One question we often get from our guests is: "Can a taxi drop us off directly at our front door?" 🚖🚤

We hear this all the time, so we decided to put together a quick guide to help our guests and first-time visitors navigate lagoon arrivals smoothly! Here is how transport in Venice actually works:

🛑 1. Wheeled Taxis Stop at Piazzale Roma

Venice is entirely pedestrian and waterborne. All cars, airport shuttles, and wheeled taxis terminate at Piazzale Roma (or Tronchetto parking). No vehicles with wheels can go past this point.

🚆 2. Arriving by Train?

Venezia Santa Lucia puts you right on the Grand Canal, where you step directly out to the Ferrovia water bus (vaporetto) docks and private water taxi stands.

🚤 3. Water Taxis & Doorstep Access

Private water taxis navigate the canals, but can only drop you directly at your accommodation if the building has its own private dock or water gate (porta d'acqua). Otherwise, they pull up to the nearest accessible public canal landing.

🚶 4. The "Calli" Reality Check

Venice is a labyrinth of historic, narrow alleyways (calli) and bridges tucked away from open water. The final stretch to almost every stay is a walk on foot!

💡 Our Top Arrival Tip: Travel with lightweight luggage you can easily carry over footbridges, and wear comfortable walking shoes on travel days!

📌 Save this post for your upcoming Venice trip, and share it with someone visiting soon!

Ever wonder where iconic Venetian gondolas are born and maintained?

Tucked away along the Rio di San Trovaso is the Squero di San Trovaso, one of the oldest operational gondola boatyards in the city (dating back to the 17th century!). Look closely at the building—it was built out of alpine timber and resembles a mountain chalet, because the original boatbuilders migrated from the Dolomite mountains centuries ago bringing their timber craft to the lagoon.

In a city with zero cars, zero roads, and hundreds of bridges, every single vehicle here floats—from garbage collection to emergency services and taxis.

💡 Planning a trip to Venice soon?

Wondering what actually happens after you arrive at Piazzale Roma or Santa Lucia, and how to get your luggage to your door without getting lost?

📲 Stay tuned this weekend! We’re sharing an essential guide on how Venetian transport really works, what to expect with water taxis and vaporettos, and how to navigate the city smoothly.

Buon Ferragosto from Venice!

If you saw our last video about the empty tables and closed shops—today is the reason why! August 15th marks Ferragosto, Italy’s biggest national summer holiday.

A 2,000-Year Tradition:

Ferragosto dates back to 18 BC with Roman Emperor Augustus (Feriae Augusti), created as a festive break to celebrate the harvest and give workers a well-deserved rest.

How Venice celebrates today:

Boat picnics drifting across the lagoon

Sun-drenched beach days at the Lido

Epic, multi-course feasts with family and friends 🥂

💡 Visiting right now? Make dinner reservations early, head to the water to catch the breeze, and soak in the holiday atmosphere!

Spotting empty outdoor tables and closed doors around Venice this week?

Don't worry, you haven't stumbled into a ghost town! You’re just experiencing one of Italy’s favorite summer traditions: Chiuso per ferie (Closed for Holidays).

Mid-August marks Ferragosto, when local families, artisan shops, and neighborhood trattorias close up shop to head to the beaches or mountains for a well-deserved break.

💡 Traveler Tip: While main attractions stay open, make sure to plan ahead, check hours, and book reservations early if you're visiting this week!

Stay tuned- this Saturday, August 15th, we are dropping our breakdown of Ferragosto and how to navigate the holiday in the lagoon!
