Description

A tour quiz that will take you to Rialto, where there once was one of the world’s richest markets, which made Venice a powerful and cosmopolitan city. From the majestic Frari Basilica to the brotherhoods’ small living quarters, following a route that sometimes will feel like a maze of narrow alleys. Don’t get lost and don’t stop at any of the numerous bacari along the way, or you might not reach the end of the tour.

Did you know that

  • the State Archives of Venice were founded in the rooms of the convent of the Frari Basilica?

  • Campo San Polo is the largest campo in Venice?

  • the Rialto Bridge was the only bridge to cross the Grand Canal until the mid-nineteenth century?

Don’t you worry if you don’t know anything about Venice’s history. Everybody can take part in our scavenger hunts, both locals and visitors. No previous knowledge of the city required. You just need to observe and have fun.
