Venice at night

Experience summary:

Want to see how Venice was and felt like 500 years ago? Then you’ve got to see it at night when the tourists and cruise passengers are gone, and Venice turns into a bit of a ghost city.

Why you should take this experience:

• Discover with an established local Venetian photographer what photography masters experienced 100-150 years ago, or even artists from 500 years ago through specific vantage points
• Get rich insights on some of the most iconic images and artwork made in the last 100 years in Venice and capture its allure when the city is rarely photographed

Who is this experience for:

Visitors to Venice looking to experience a totally different aspect of Venice through night photography

Key highlights:

• See a very different Venice – at night, devoid of tourists – as if you’ve gone back a few hundred years with a time machine
• Benefit from the perspective of what the “great masters” saw and experienced when capturing Venice, either on film or canvas
• Discover the hidden photography spots and angles with a local professional, where do you get the best view of San Marco Piazza, as an example, to capture snapshots of Venice that go beyond what you’ve seen in most guidebooks and brochures
