Venice at New Year

The uniquely beautiful city of Venice built on 118 islands joined by waterways and bridges, was once one of the greatest independent republics in the world. The richness and splendour of those days is evident at every turn – magnificent palazzi and churches, and an inexhaustible wealth of art. No amount of reading or viewing can prepare you for this extraordinary labyrinth of a city hovering magically over the lagoon. Dr Eireann Marshall leads our tour introducing us not only to some of the city’s iconic highlights but also to various themes of the city’s past – its origins, development and importance. Join us this winter as we enjoy a privileged view of this maritime republic, as the city celebrates the New Year.
