The best time to experience true Venetian culture is in the evening, when the light is waning and the locals seek out their favourite bars for friends, food, and fun. It is at this hour when the hectic pace of day turns into a relaxed stroll and the canals are at their most picturesque. If you are looking for the opportunity to experience the local version of "happy hour", this is your chance.
Do as the locals do and join this Venetian tradition by eating and drinking your way through the city with a small group discovering new wines and cicchetti appetizers and enjoy a stroll through the historic Jewish quarter. As no Italian edible should be without an excellent glass of wine, each sampling will be paired with an ombra, a small glass of one of the regions many renowned varieties.

You will be impressed by the golden staircases, the entrance of the rooms of the Doges and the halls of power from where you can see the "Last Judgement" by Tintoretto, one of the greatest and largest paintings in the world.
