The Journey

easyJet to Venice — 2 hours 5 minutes nonstop.
Watch the sunrise over the English Channel as you
begin your Italian adventure.
Step off the plane and into the Venetian air —
warm, salted, and full of promise.
Your water taxi glides across the shimmering lagoon,
past the island of Murano and through the Grand Canal, delivering
you to the heart of Venice. This is no ordinary
airport transfer — this is Venice.
Settle into your room. Freshen up. Step onto the balcony
and take your first proper breath of Venice.
Explore Venice's legendary bacari (wine bars). Share
cicchetti — Venetian tapas — with a glass
of chilled Prosecco as you wander between tiny hidden bars
in the San Polo neighbourhood.
Stroll to St Mark's Square and gaze up at the gilded mosaics
of the Basilica. Wander through the Doge's Palace and cross
the Bridge of Sighs hand-in-hand.
Find a canalside terrace. Order two Aperol Spritz. Watch the sky
turn amber and pink over the bell towers as the city shifts
into its golden evening glow.
A long, unhurried dinner at a trattoria by the water.
Fresh sarde in saor, handmade pasta, and a bottle
of Amarone shared by candlelight.
Start the day the Venetian way — a flaky cornetto
filled with pistachio cream and a rich, dark espresso, standing
at the bar like the locals do.
Glide through the secret back canals of Venice in a
traditional gondola. Under stone bridges, past crumbling
palazzi draped in ivy, through the quietest, most magical
corners of the floating city.
Wander through the historic Rialto fish and produce market.
Admire the colours, the chaos, and the freshest seafood
you've ever seen. Cross the iconic Rialto Bridge.
A leisurely waterside lunch — perhaps risotto al nero
di seppia (squid ink risotto) with a glass of crisp Soave,
watching the vaporetti drift past.
Catch a vaporetto to the islands. Watch master glassblowers
shape molten crystal on Murano, then lose yourself in the
rainbow-coloured houses of Burano — every wall a
photograph waiting to happen.
Return to Venice and wander without a map. Get deliberately
lost in the labyrinth of narrow streets and hidden squares.
Discover a quiet campo with a fountain, a tiny church,
a moment that's yours alone.
Your last Venetian evening deserves something special.
Fresh lobster pasta, tiramisu made the original
Veneto way, and wine that tastes like bottled sunshine.
Finish with a moonlit walk along the waterfront.
Rise early and savour the quiet of the city before the
crowds. A final espresso, a final glance across the canal,
a final stolen moment in the most beautiful city on earth.
A last wander through the streets. Pick up a handmade
Venetian mask, a bottle of limoncello, or a piece of
Murano glass to carry a piece of Venice home.
A long, lazy lunch at a canalside trattoria — fresh
seafood, chilled Soave, and nowhere to rush to. Check out
and leave bags with the hotel.
The late flight is a gift — one more gelato, one more
bridge, one more hidden campo. Venice rewards those who linger.
One last glide across the lagoon as the sun sets
over the Venetian skyline. A farewell worthy of the city.
easyJet back to Gatwick — 2 hours 15 minutes nonstop,
landing at 23:20. A camera full of memories, a heart full
of Venice, and plans already forming for when you'll return.
