Galleria Giorgio Franchetti alla Ca' d'Oro is a 15th-century palace located on the Grand Canal in Venice. Originally known as Palazzo Santa Sofia, it was designed by architect Giovanni Bon and his son Bartolomeo. The palace's facade, which once boasted exquisite gilt and polychrome embellishments, has now faded to pink and white.
Very nice museum, lots on display. It has a very nice collection of ancient and antique artifacts. Lots of famous painters have their artwork located in here. It has many lovely statues, mini figurines, and artwork. The building has very lovely architecture and you get a wonderful view of the grand canal. I would definitely recommend checking out this museum.
Pong L — Google review
While Baron Franchetti’s personal art collection may be a matter of taste, the elevated front-row views of the Grand Canal — now unrivaled since the closure of Fondaco dei Tedeschi — are truly the highlight. Through the lacework of Gothic arches, you're treated to an intimate view of the bustling Grand Canal. It's rarely crowded, so you can linger as long as you like. For just €7 more, you can opt for a combined ticket that also grants access to the unique and impressive Palazzo Grimani — effectively halving its €14 entry price.
CityScrolls — Google review
The place is crawling with demons or ghosts. With such a creepy history (owners' suicide, etc.), coupled with the eerie, asymmetrical design, the place is truly spine-chilling. You can't go inside, but I wouldn't even if I could. However, being close to such a genuinely creepy place is an amazing feeling! Before visiting, you should definitely thoroughly study its history to understand what it is and why it is the way it is.
KARMA L — Google review
This was an exquisite and private place. The owner, who never lived there, spent a lot of time personally laying the marble mosaic floor and collected beautiful paintings and statues. It has a great view of the Grand Canal. The story is poignant and touching. Recommended.
Zeki A — Google review
What a magical place! Especially near closing time! It's right next to a vaporetto stop, from which you get a nice front view of the magnificent facade. Upper floors are down for renovation l, that will last till 2026-27. Right now, only the courtyard with the stairs and mini garden are open for 3 euro. Still worth it! You can gaze at the Grand Canal through the lovely stone windows. Do keep in mind to look out for high water( I easily checked from a vaporetto too). Do give yourself plenty of time to just sit at the stone benches and marvel at the beautiful work if the craftsmen and the Baron himself! Like I said, the blpalazzo is in a busy area, but once inside? It's haven! And it was during peak season! Enjoy!

Amazing space and art gallery. Went in on the afternoon on the 4th February. Hardly anyone in which was incredible considering how busy Venice was due to carnival starting. Was great to have the place virtually to myself enjoy the place and art and get away from the crowds Managed to get straight in, no queues, nothing. Worth 6 euros

I want to move in here...stunning palace, inside out, so even just for the architecture value worth a visit, but kn top you have here both "old masters" works and interventions of contemporary design site specific works. Staff is very welcoming, friendly and helpful, entry at 8,50 is fair.

Located in the Santa Croce district of Venice, Ca' Pesaro is a stunning 17th-century Baroque palace that overlooks the Grand Canal. It houses the International Gallery of Modern Art, which features renowned works from the 20th century by artists like Auguste Rodin and Gustav Klimt. The palace also hosts temporary exhibitions on its second floor and is home to the Venice Museum of Oriental Art on its third floor, showcasing an impressive collection of Oriental art.
Beautifully laid out, excellent helpful staff, wonderful exhibits and lovely little shop. The view from the cafe is remarkable too. Well worth a visit.

A quiet oasis tucked away in a busy city. I only visited because it was included in the museum pass. I'm glad I did. The highlight was the asian collection. The cafe has a lovely view.

A small modern art collection. Of special interest is a piece by Gustav Klimt. Also contains an exhibition an Asia on the top floor.
Michael O — Google review
I’m usually not a big fan of modern art, but Ca’ Pesaro quite surprised me. The museum is housed in a stunning Baroque palace close to the Grand Canal. The main galleries focus on late 19th- and early 20th-century art, with works by Klimt, Chagall, Kandinsky, and a few Italian futurists. Some pieces are strange or heavy, but the setting gives them a new kind of beauty — the contrast between the ornate ceilings and the bold modern art really works. What impressed me most, though, was the Oriental Art collection upstairs. Samurai armor, Japanese swords, delicate ceramics, and Buddhist sculptures — all beautifully displayed and completely unexpected in the middle of Venice. Very impresive collection. Museum is not crowded, you can enjoy your own space while contemplating art a front of you.
Przemyslaw K — Google review
Housed in a grand Baroque palace, this is one of Venice’s major museums for modern art, featuring an extensive collection of 19th- and 20th-century paintings and sculptures. The building was designed by Baldassarre Longhena in the mid-17th century and completed in 1710. Originally the residence of the noble Pesaro family, it was transformed into a modern art gallery and opened to the public in 1902. The museum holds works by artists such as Gustav Klimt, Marc Chagall, Pierre Bonnard, and Wassily Kandinsky, along with sculptures by Auguste Rodin, Medardo Rosso, Adolfo Wildt, and Arturo Martini. The top floor is home to the Museo d'Arte Orientale, which features a rich collection of Asian art, including lacquerware and decorative objects from Japan’s Edo period. ※ Included in the Venice Museum Pass.
Seokjin H — Google review
A nice museum in a magnificent palace, well worth a visit. Since the museum was established much later than museums of "modern art" in other major Italian cities, its collection of 19th century art is very small, but it holds some major paintings from late 19th and early 20th century. Amazing exhibition of huge murals by Giulio Sartorio. Museum café is a hidden gem, with a terrace facing Grand Canal.

Writing this in English for all the international tourists: it just happened, I'm baffled, honestly just skip it. We didn't have the opportunity to even enter the museum. After you enter the glass doors on the left, you are immediately at the ticket office but before you can approach for the tickets you need to have your bags searched/security checked, and no complainings here Mind you, I'm Italian, so no issue with communication or anything of the sort: Me: hi, we would like to do the tickets Security guy: your bookbags are too big Me: ok, do you have lockers where we can put our stuff? Free of charge or not, we don't care Security guy: yes,we do have lockers, but you can't arrive at the lockers because you need to enter and I can't let you enter with those big bags Me: I'm sorry, you have lockers but we can't use them/reach them? Him: yes, I see we have an issue in communication, the lockers are inside and I can't let you reach their location, so you should find by yourself some lockers outside/ in the city Ticket lady: yes I'm sorry, it's like this, the Prefecture is not giving us permission All of this with an extremely arrogant tone, definitely not customer service oriented let alone "kind" or "mortified" in any sort. Now, I did search for ANY info on the museum website's regarding this and there is none. You have lockers that are unreachable for me? That's poor planning on where to put them on your part, and learn some manners on how to treat customers/clients Adding a picture of the bookbag for reference

Located in the Dorsoduro neighborhood of Venice, Italy, Ca' Rezzonico is a palazzo and art museum situated on the Grand Canal. Originally built by the Bon family in the 17th century and designed by renowned architect Baldassarre Longhena, it now houses the Museum of 18th-century Venice.
Absolutely outstanding museum and cafe and location!!! For so many reasons!! 1.) the ATVO water bus has a stop right next door! Super convenient to get to via the canal and a lovely walk too 2) an OUTSTANDING collection of 18th century art and furnishings and great history cards in each room that explains the history and much of daily life 3) interesting history of the property, both in origin and more recent as Robert Browning and Cole Porter both leased and lived here 4) THE BEST lunch location!! There is a simple but delicious cafe on property and they have hidden waterfront seating. Just ask the friendly bar staff in cafe if you can sit outside and they will show you way. (And it’s very reasonably priced!)

Ca’ Rezzonico is a magnificent museum on the Grand Canal that immerses you in the splendor of 18th-century Venice. Lavishly decorated rooms, Murano chandeliers, and masterpieces by Tiepolo and Longhi capture the opulence of the era. It’s a beautifully preserved glimpse into the life of the Venetian aristocracy—elegant, theatrical, and unforgettable.

A lovely old house converted into a museum with ceilings by some of greatest Venetian artists. Upon entering one is met with a vast painted hall, of sublime quality and design. On the same room are a set of state rooms with art, furniture and other items. I especially enjoyed the tapestries, though they are in need of a clean and some restoration. The upper floors are galleries. There is one statue of a veiled lady that is particularly impressive.
Michael O — Google review
A masterpiece of Venetian Baroque and Rococo architecture, the palace now serves as the Museum of 18th-Century Venice (Museo del Settecento Veneziano). It was originally commissioned in 1649 by the noble Bon family and designed by the renowned architect Baldassare Longhena. However, construction was halted due to Longhena’s death and the Bon family’s financial difficulties. In 1751, the palace was acquired by the wealthy Rezzonico family, who completed it in 1758 under the direction of Giorgio Massari. Since 1936, the palace has been open to the public as a museum showcasing the art, culture, and daily life of 18th-century Venetian nobility. Visitors can explore opulently decorated rooms, period furnishings, and works by artists such as Tiepolo and Longhi, offering a vivid glimpse into Venice’s golden age.

Beautiful building right along the Grand Canal, next to a vaporetto stop. It is such a charming place but so underrated! You can enjoy art and culture in peace and quiet - it was not crowded. Or even enjoy some food and drinks with great view in the cafe before the entrance. There's also a small garden at the back!

Nestled in the winding streets of Venice, Palazzo Contarini del Bovolo is a stunning 15th-century palace that showcases the city's rich architectural heritage. This hidden gem features the remarkable Bovolo staircase, a spiral marvel that combines Veneto-Byzantine, Gothic, and Renaissance styles. Commissioned by nobleman Pietro Contarini to enhance his residence's facade, this enchanting structure has become a favorite among visitors seeking picturesque views.
The gondola is one of the most iconic symbols of Venice, offering a timeless way to experience the city's enchanting canals. Traditionally handcrafted from wood and painted black, these elegant, flat-bottomed boats have been used for centuries as a primary means of transport through Venice’s narrow waterways. Gondoliers, often dressed in striped shirts and straw hats, expertly navigate the labyrinth of canals with a single oar, sharing stories or singing as they go. While no longer essential for daily commuting, gondolas remain a cherished part of Venetian culture and are popular among tourists seeking a romantic and scenic ride through this unique floating city.

Very photogenic spiral staircase linking two parts of an ancient palazzo- not too bad a climb and great views from the top. Tucked away down a tiny alleyway just off the main drag - you wouldn’t know it was there unless you were looking for it! Beautifully lit up at night

Its cool. Its in a very unassuming tight location. We didn't bother paying and climbing so we stood outside the tall black chain link fence and got as good of pictures as possible. 10mins (plus the anytime awesome walk to and from) to see it. Then you can say you saw that old twisting tower from the Rick Steves Venice 🇮🇹 video.

(Translated by Google) Home to the Venice Casino, it is one of the most beautiful buildings overlooking the Grand Canal. The fate of the casino is uncertain, also due to the competition from the numerous gaming halls beyond the border. The Wagnerian museum will certainly be open to visitors again, as here, on the mezzanine, he spent long periods away from the noise of the big cities in search of new inspiration. He died here in 1883. (Original) Sede del casinò di Venezia è uno dei più belli tra i palazzi che si affacciano sul canal grande. Le sorti del casinò sono incerte e questo anche per la concorrenza delle numerosissime sale da gioco al di là della frontiera. Certamente tornerà ad essere visitabile il museo Wagneriano che qui,nel mezzanino, trascorse lunghi periodi lontano dal rumore delle grandi città alla ricerca di nuove ispirazioni. Proprio qui morì nel 1883.

The Doge's Palace, also known as Palazzo Ducale, is a stunning Gothic building located in Venice on St. Mark's Square. It served as the residence of the rulers and housed the parliament, secret affairs of the Inquisition, and even imprisoned criminals. The palace boasts chiseled colonnades, Gothic arches, and crenellated walls that give it an exquisite and sophisticated appearance in this city on water.
This place was extremely extraordinary and was a pleasure exploring the palace. I would really recommend that you buy tickets beforehand and the earlier the better. You will definitely need 2+ hours to explore this palace especially if your into art and history. I loved every bit of it. The cafe was also nice and the prices were reasonable. It’s definitely a must go if you’re in Venice!

The Doge’s Palace in Venice is one of the city’s true highlights. The architecture is stunning, and the frescoes that adorn the walls are absolutely breathtaking — a masterpiece of art that can only be rivaled by those in the Vatican.

Highly recommend booking tickets in advance to skip any lines and ensure your preferred time. Walking across the Bridge of Sighs and seeing the view from both sides was unforgettable. Truly one of the highlights of our trip!

Book ahead of time and the queue isn't TOTALLY awful. Impressive selection of fancy rooms with big paintings in them. Have fun spotting which doge looks the most like Santa! Surprised the gift shop doesn't do Doge Top Trumps, this would sell (if palazzo ducale are listening). Also top tip: at some point in the tour you get to the prison cells and you have the option to take the short route or the 'complete tour'. The complete tour is just LOTS MORE PRISON CELLS. Only take if you really enjoy empty stone rooms and stairs!

Really stunning museum inside, illustrating the complex political system of the Republic of Venice and the history of the palace/prison. I would say that the ticketing system (in common with a lot of things in the St. Mark’s area) was insane. I couldn’t get the website to sell me a ticket without booking for another museum at the same time. In the end we just stood in the queue which wasn’t too bad (visited at end of October).

The Museo di Palazzo Grimani is a stunning palace in Venice that offers visitors the chance to explore its art and furniture-filled rooms. Once home to the influential Grimaldi family, the palace boasts an impressive collection of classical sculpture and ancient art amassed by Giovanni Grimani. The rare Tuscan-Roman Renaissance architecture adds to the allure of this historical site. Currently, it is hosting two captivating exhibitions, including one featuring Venice-inspired paintings by artist Rick Lowes.
Museo di Palazzo Grimani in Venice is a hidden gem that offers a rare glimpse into the grandeur of a Renaissance patrician home. One of the most striking rooms is the Tribuna, pictured here, which dazzles with its domed, coffered ceiling and an extraordinary display of ancient Roman and Renaissance sculpture arranged with theatrical precision. The symmetry, architectural detail, and the celestial light streaming from above create an almost sacred space. Unlike many Venetian museums, Palazzo Grimani is refreshingly uncrowded, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in its serene beauty and rich artistic legacy. It’s a must-see for lovers of classical art, architecture, and the refined elegance of Renaissance humanism.

It's a small museum, but a beautiful one. The closing time is 18:30, not 19 as it says here. In the museum there is a small collection of modern art at the entrance, collection of shells, taxidermied crocodiles,fixh bones, furniture, paintings, sculptures and the iconic room showcasing many sculptures including Roman replica of Abduction of Ganimede. People who work in the museum are very kind and helpful.

A hidden gem! Tucked away in one of Venice's buzzing alleys, Palazzo Grimani is an absolute treasure. I arrived shortly after it opened at 10 a.m. and the palace was almost empty. The way the morning light filled the hall through the large windows was magical. Had never seen a sculpture room like this and loved the Cabinet of Wonders exhibition. Such a peaceful experience amid the city’s vibrant energy. Def one of the highlights of my trip!

This is the only place in Venice where you'll find plenty of grotesques: whimsical, bizarre, and bursting with imagination. This unique art style blends real and imaginary elements into strange, fantastic, or even hideous designs. If you watched the second season of The White Lotus, you might recall the opening scene showcasing this very style :)

Such a shame most people miss this beautiful museum. We practically had the place to ourselves! When I visited it had a beautiful modern art exhibit but also allows you to see how a wealthy family (a Doge in fact) would have lived in Venice. Amazing ceilings and ofc the sculpture gallery is a must see.

Fondazione Querini Stampalia, a former home of the Venetian Querini Stampalia family, now serves as a captivating blend of 19th-century house museum and contemporary exhibition space. The collection showcases an array of art including Renaissance paintings by renowned artists such as Bellini and Tiepolo, alongside antique instruments and gilded French porcelain.
Fondazione Querini Stampalia in Venice is a hidden gem that beautifully blends history, art, and design. The small museum houses a gorgeous art collection, but the real highlight for me was the first floor, featuring Carlo Scarpa's stunning architectural work. The garden and staircase are pure magic! When I visited, there was a fascinating Korean modernist Yoo Youngkuk exhibition that felt perfectly at home in Scarpa's spaces. It's an ideal spot for art and architecture lovers or anyone looking for a serene cultural escape in Venice. Don’t miss it!

This is one of the best museums to visit in Venice, both for what is on display and what you can find in the museum shop. There is also a café that serves decent food to the hungry visitor and a garden where you can admire the discrete architecture of the Venetian architect Carlo Scarpa, also responsible for the ground floor design. On the first floor there is the classical Venice permanent art and interior decoration from past centuries and on the top floor you will find temporary exhibitions; when we visited early October of 2025 featuring interesting photographers. You can easily spend half a day here...

The Fondazione Querini Stampalia is a masterful blend of history and modernity, thanks to the visionary design of Carlo Scarpa. His intervention—especially in the ground floor and garden—is a poetic dialogue between water, light, and material. Every detail, from the flowing channels to the delicate use of stone and glass, reflects Scarpa’s genius for harmonizing old and new. It’s a must-visit for architecture lovers and a serene, inspiring space in the heart of Venice.
Giulia B — Google review
Wonderful small museum with beautiful art collection. The museum's first floor, including garden and staircase, is one of the masterworks of Venice-born Carlo Scarpa (1906-1978). The building was later renovated by Mario Botta (born 1943). I enjoyed the exhibition of Korean modernist Yoo Youngkuk (1916-2002), which fit extremely well into the Scarpa spaces. I also loved the new exhibition on John Baldessari (1931-2020), accompanied by a great video. And beautiful permanent collection including a masterwork by Giovanni Bellini (Presentation at the Temple). Nice café with outdoor seating in the garden designed by Scarpa. Great giftshop with lots of books on Carlo Scarpa. A "must see" for all fans of Carlo Scarpa.

Modern art is modern art- if you like it you’ll love the top from exhibition space and ground floor, especially famous for architects, though nonetheless somewhat bland. However the state rooms on the 2nd floor are very nice, and give a good flavour of a Venetian family home over 200 years ago.
Michael O — Google review
We stopped by hoping to see Carlo Scarpa’s intervention inside the building, but were told the museum section was open while the Scarpa area was closed — without any clear explanation. We lingered outside for a while, studying the entrance and the few details visible from the street. Even that glimpse was enough to sense Scarpa’s precision in material and proportion. Still, it was disappointing not to access the interior. For architecture lovers, it’s worth checking first whether the Scarpa section is open before visiting.

The Palazzo Suite Ducale is a simple yet comfortable accommodation located just 300 meters from the Rialto Bridge. Despite being more budget-friendly, it offers a great base for exploring Venice with its well-designed and spacious rooms. The hotel opened in 2019 and is situated in a lovely neighborhood close to luxury hotels and transportation centers. Guests have praised the large rooms, beautiful windows, and comfortable bathrooms. The host, Fausto, provides excellent service including private tours of the neighborhood.
Top location right in the middle of everything but peaceful at night. Beautiful accommodation soooo many original feature's. The hosting was just right helpful but discreet. I would highly recommend these apartments.

If you’re looking for a place to stay right in the middle of attractions of Venice then this is the place for you. Hotel and rooms are very dated as is the building and decor. We couldn’t get the shower to work very well and there is no room safe. But as I say this makes a perfect base camp. The hosts were very friendly and communicated very well.
Chris — Google review
HIT OR MISS EXPERIENCE. The property is a former abandoned palatial house that the owner restored with fairly cheap materials. Why hit or miss? Because while all the rooms are priced about the same, the first-floor rooms (1-2-3) have high ceilings and that “palatial” vibe, while the upper-floor rooms (4-5-6), like the one we had, are cramped, with low ceilings and feel more like old servants’ quarters. The single glazing also makes the rooms quite chilly in winter or early spring.

The host was very pleasant and the room was clean but very dated. Door handle on bathroom wasn't screwed in to the door so kept falling off. There was also a bizarre wooden staircase in the room that didn't go anywhere. This is at best worthy of 2 stars.

Palazzo Suite Ducale is an older home that is cut-up into 5-6 rooms. We stayed in room #5. The bedroom is great. The bathroom......weeellll, maybe a few updates are in order. The shower as most showers in Italy is very small. Plus it's a step up into. Surprised no one hasnt fallen down getting out of shower. A perfect space for the shower is next to the bathroom window. Next the bathroom sink seemed to be plugged up. Drained very slow. Toilet worked fine. Next up the door to the room. When I asked about the key going to the door and locking and unlocking she gave me a lesson on how to work the door. Just get a normal door lock and stop being silly. The air conditioning worked excellent! Yes, this is important when staying in Venice Island in the summer! For the price point? Might as well stay elsewhere with a few more amenities and larger shower. Also checkout is 10am. Other places are 11am or 12 noon.

The Peggy Guggenheim Collection is housed in an 18th-century waterside palace and showcases a remarkable 20th-century art collection. The museum features a diverse range of artworks, including pieces from renowned artists such as Picasso, Pollock, Kandinsky, Miro, de Chirico, and Dali. Visitors can explore the interior sculpture garden while admiring over 150 works spanning various mediums like drawings, jewelry, photographs, documentaries, and films.
An absolute must when in Venice. The collection is incredible – not overwhelming in size, but perfectly curated so you can really enjoy each piece without feeling rushed. Walking through Peggy Guggenheim’s former home adds such a personal touch, and it feels almost like being invited into her world. The sculpture garden is a highlight – peaceful, inspiring, and a lovely spot to pause before heading back inside. I loved how accessible the museum feels, even if you’re not an art expert, you can still connect with the works and the stories behind them. It’s one of those places that stays with you long after you leave.
Simone — Google review
I enjoyed Peggy Guggenheim. I am also a fan of contemporary/ Modern Art! I am fascinated at how creative and ahead of their times the artists that she collected were in the 1930's. Get the audio version, the back story helps you understand the relationships that Peggy had (or did not have) with the artists. If you don't like contemporary art, go for the view it is beautiful overlooking the canal or in the garden. Venezia!!! Venice is eternity itself.❤️
Denise H — Google review
A must see when in Venice, totally worth the visit. I also recommend spending the extra €7 (on the steep side, to be fair) for the audioguide since there's an abundance of information regarding the artists and the collection in general (and the collectors themselves, of course). While a small gallery, the switch from garden to rooms to terrace (with exhibits) gives a nice and sophisticated feeling itself. You'll find the chance to see original Kandinsky, Picasso, Dali and Ernest (and many other famous contemporaries). I hope this helps 😊 P.S. while we booked in advance for early morning, there was no difficulty to also purchase tickets there. However, there was much more visitors than we expected, especially this early (first hours of opening).
Stelios A — Google review
A timeless favorite in Venice and one of the most enjoyable museum experiences in the city. Entry was €16 per person, and absolutely worth it. The collection brings together some of the most iconic works of modern art — Pollock, Miró, Magritte, Calder, and of course, Peggy’s own spirit running through the house. The museum is compact but deeply personal, with pieces displayed in what was once her home overlooking the Grand Canal. We started with coffee and a slice of chocolate cake at the café (a bit ordinary, but the view made up for it) before exploring the galleries. Intimate, vibrant, and full of history — it’s easy to see why this is a favorite spot for so many visitors.

I am not a huge modern art fan but found several pieces that spoke to me. The gardens and terrace over the Grand Canal on the other hand were spectacular.

Probably the most visited museum for modern art in Venice. To avoid waiting for an hour in front of the ticket office, buy your ticket on the internet. The art is safe, e.g. Mrs Guggenheim preferred to invest in known artists rather than taking risks. Much of the pleasure of coming here is negatively affected by the affluence of visitors. Plan your visit accordingly if you can.

The Clock Tower, a Renaissance structure dating back to 1499, offers stunning city views and features a mechanical clock adorned with symbolic decorations. Situated in St. Mark's Square, it is surrounded by iconic landmarks such as the Basilica di San Marco, Torre dell'Orologio, Campanile, and Doge's Palace. The square itself is grand and during autumn or winter months, it may be flooded with wooden platforms allowing people to move around.
The Torre dell'Orologio or clock tower was designed in 1496, has 5 floors and 132 steps, parts with a spirral staircase. You need to book a tour to enter. I got tickets from torreorologio.visitmuve.it For timings purpose please note that you will need to collect tickets at the ticket office of the Correr Museum at the other end of the square, so arrive early to get to the ticket office and pass through security and bag check. The guide was very good and made it very enjoyable and still informative. Inside you can see the intricate mechanism, inspired by the Zodiac, along with wooden icons that only emerge from the clocktower twice a year. The central part of the tower has the the clock, whose face shows the phases of the moon and sun as well as the signs of the zodiac. At the top is the Lion of St. Mark and a statue of the Madonna, this is part of the famous Two Moors Bell. An added plus is the excellent views you get from the rooftop.

Built between 1496 and 1499 by Maurizio Codussi in the Renaissance style, the tower was designed to help Venetian merchants and sailors keep accurate time. At the time, it was a marvel of engineering—symbolizing time, prosperity, and the glory of Venice in one striking structure. The large clock face displays 24-hour time, zodiac signs, and lunar phases, all set against a deep blue and gold background. Above the clock is a golden statue of the Virgin Mary with the baby Jesus. On special occasions, figures of the Three Wise Men emerge and pass by the Madonna in a charming mechanical procession. Above them sits the winged lion of Saint Mark, the symbol of Venice, reinforcing the city’s identity and power. At the very top stand two bronze figures known as Moors, one representing youth and the other old age. They strike the bell every hour. Historically, the clock tower even housed a full-time clockkeeper who lived inside to maintain its mechanisms.

The mocenigo palace is one of the many palaces in Venice to visit. Although there are high contrasts in the reviews, sometimes because of the modern art installations trying to contrast with the palace, I must say that I enjoyed my visit. It is dedicated to costumes and perfumes with some interactive possibilities to smell, for example, the basic ingredients of ancient perfumes. When I visited, there were indeed some modern art installations where it could help to give some explenation on the concept as it was not always easy to understand. On the other hand it didn't bother me as the grandeur of the palace and its interior are wurthwile the visit.

This palace, extensively restored in the 19th century, is not at all difficult to visit, since it is used for exhibits connected to both the art and architecture Biennali. The style is a sort of mishmash of Gothic and renaissance revival elements; it’s a sort of mongrel, in other words, but there is so much good craftsmanship and such exceptional invention in the decorative scheme, that it is a very nice place to be.

It houses an impressive collection of Renaissance paintings and sculptures, making it a must-visit for art enthusiasts. The gallery was established in 1984, featuring a valuable assortment of Tuscan paintings, sculptures, furnishings, porcelain, ivories, and glazed branches donated by Princess Yana Cini Alliata of Montereale.
A great small but very high quality of Tuscan paintings and sculptures mostly from the Renaissance period

Museum with contrasts when I visited early October of 2025; on the first floor a predominantly religious leaning section and on the second floor the life of Casanova during his Venice period. I particularly liked the ink drawings of characters in his entourage. I tried to purchase a book about Casanova in the small museum shop but unfortunately, they did not take cards and I had no cash. Interestingly you could pay your entrance ticket by card...

In our many years visiting Venice and its many wonderful museums, we have never come across a collection this weak before. The palazzo is also almost entirely devoid of its historical features. Shame. The area all around it is glorious.

The Galleria di Palazzo Cini, a refined house-museum created in its present state in 1984, preserves the precious core of the ancient art collection of one of the most important Italian collectors of the twentieth century, entrepreneur and philanthropist Vittorio Cini (1885-1977). But its rich and interesting history dates back to the 14th century. This beautiful palace, The Palazzo Loredan Cini, is a Gothic-style palace located between the Palazzo Balbi Valier and the Rio San Vio on the Grand Canal, in the sestiere of Dorsoduro. The palace was formed from the amalgamation of the former Palazzo Foscari-Loredan with the adjacent Palazzo Grimani. The Foscari palace, also called Loredan palace, was built on a site belonging to the Giustinian in the 14th-15th centuries. In 1428 it was purchased by the Republic for 6,500 ducats, and transferred to the Marquis of Mantua. A decade later, it was confiscated and given to Francesco Sforza. Nearly a decade later, it was again appropriated and sold by public auction to Doge Francesco Foscari. From 1564 to 1567, the Grimani palace had been originally built for Vincenzo, of the Santa Maria Formosa branch of the Grimani family. In the 19th-20th century, it was the residence of Prince Carlos of Bourbon-Two Sicilies. In 1920, after his marriage to the actress Lyda Borelli, the industrial tycoon Vittorio Cini acquired the Palazzo Foscari on the Grand Canal. He merged it with the adjoining palace. In 1934, under the fascist rule of Mussolini, Cini was named Senator of Italy. Despite the upheavals that occurred at the end of Italy's involvement with the Axis in World War II, Cini remained a major collector of Italian art. Vittorio Cini created in 1951 the Giorgio Cini Foundation, based on the island of San Giorgio Maggiore. This foundation was engaged in the protection, patronage, and research regarding cultural and artistic legacy of Venice. Vittorio Cini died in 1977. In 1984, his daughter, Yana Cini Alliata di Montereale, donated his collections to the Palazzo Cini Gallery, under the ownership by the Fondazione Giorgio Cini. So on the first floor we can enjoy the canvases, “Holy Family with St John the Baptist”, by Piero di Cosimo, “Virgin and Child with Saints”, “Angels and Donor”, by Filippo Lippi, “St Thomas Aquinas”, by Fra Angelico, "Madonna and Child", by Piero della Francesca, "Judgment of Paris", by Sandro Botticelli, "Virgin Adoring the Child with Two Angels", by Domenico Ghirlandaio, "Virgin and Child with Two Angels", by Piero di Cosimo , "Two Apostles" by Giotto .....

Palazzo Pisani Moretta is a historic 15th-century building located on the Grand Canal in Venice, Italy. Originally built by the Bembo family, it later became the residence of the wealthy Pisani Moretta family and underwent expansions over the centuries. The palace features a striking Gothic facade and a lavish Baroque interior.
Built in the late 15th century by the Bembo family, this palace is a prime example of Venetian Gothic architecture. While the exterior reflects its medieval origins, the interior was richly renovated in the 18th century in both Baroque and Neoclassical styles. In 1629, the Pisani Moretta family acquired the palace and later oversaw several renovations and expansions, shaping it into the elegant residence we see today. The palace now serves as a luxurious venue for private events and exclusive masked balls—most famously Il Ballo del Doge, one of the highlights of the Venice Carnival.

(Translated by Google) Palace on the Grand Canal, recently restored and open to visitors. Beautiful example of an elegant residence which already demonstrates its caliber from the façade, completely in white stone. Inside there are original antiques, a chandelier, a polychrome marble bust, a collection of tapestries and a pair of Chinese boat chairs, lacquered in black and gold. A Foundation (Golden Tree) allows the survival of this residence on the Grand Canal which comes back to life through the rediscovery of the history of the illustrious families who lived there and through the study of the art collections. By presenting and comparing past and present artistic expressions, Palazzo Vendramin Grimani becomes a new place of transmission, artistic and cultural exchange open to the world. This elegant building in the heart of Venice becomes the starting point and destination of that journey, real and imaginary, which still today, as in the past, makes the city of Venice the trait d'union between East and West. (Original) Palazzo sul Canal Grande, da poco restaurato e visitabile. Bell’esempio di residenza signorile che già dalla facciata, completamente in pietra bianca, dimostra la sua caratura. All’interno vi sono pezzi di antiquariato originali, lampadario, busto in marmo policromo, collezione di arazzi e coppia di sedie cinesi da barca, laccate in nero e oro. Una Fondazione (Albero d’Oro) permette la sopravvivenza di questa dimora sul Canal Grande che torna a vivere attraverso la riscoperta della storia delle illustri famiglie che l’hanno abitata e attraverso lo studio delle collezioni d’arte. Presentando e confrontando espressioni artistiche passate e presenti, palazzo Vendramin Grimani diventa un nuovo luogo di trasmissione, di scambio artistico e culturale aperto al mondo. Questo elegante edificio nel cuore di Venezia diventa il punto di partenza e la destinazione di quel viaggio, reale e immaginario, che ancor’oggi, come in passato, rende la città di Venezia il trait d’union tra Oriente e Occidente.

Beautiful gothic palace from the end of the 15th century on the Canal Grande and neighbour to the Peggy Guggenheim museum.

Built in 1479 this palace was once painted by Monet and is supposedly both haunted and cursed. Many of its past owners have died or experienced financial ruin. The rumor is that it was built over a Templar Cemetery. There is plenty of information online if you would like to know more. You can see the name of the house on the backside. But if you want to see the front, don't follow Google maps- make sure to go on the other side of the water.

Palazzi Barbaro, also known as Ca'Barbaro, is a pair of palaces situated along the Grand Canal in Venice. The first palace was built in 1425 in Venetian Gothic style by master Giovanni Bon, while the second palace was constructed in Baroque style in 1694 by renowned architect Antonio Gaspari. The complex served as the official residence of the Barbaro Family and was a social hub for 19th-century Americans.

(Translated by Google) Contrary to what Paolo Sabatinelli's review claims, Tiepolo's decoration in the great hall of Palazzo Barbaro has not been lost: it is in fact located in the first Tiepolo room at the Metropolitan Museum in New York! It is placed on a wall while it was originally created as a ceiling. The subject is celebratory, the apotheosis of the Barbaro family. I presume that whoever purchased the palace in the 19th century removed and sold Tiepolo's work, much to the Venetians' dismay, and thus paid for the palace's restoration work. (Original) Contrariamente a quanto asserito nella recensione di Paolo Sabatinelli, la decorazione del Tiepolo del grande salone di palazzo Barbaro non è andata perduta: si trova infatti nella prima sala Tiepolo del Metropolitan Museum a New York! È posta su una parete mentre era stata creata come soffitto. Il soggetto è celebrativo , l’apoteosi della famiglia Barbaro. Presumo che chi acquistò il palazzo nel XIX sec abbia staccato e venduto l’opera del Tiepolo, con buona pace dei Veneziani, e si sia così ripagato dei lavori di restauro del palazzo.

(Translated by Google) The building on the right, simply called Palazzo Barbaro (to distinguish it from the old part), is an extension from the 1690s, designed by Antonio Gaspari, the architect of Ca' Zenobio degli Armeni: it houses a prestigious ballroom which is still magnificent today preserved. In this new part, Giambattista Tiepolo was asked for the interior decoration, which however was lost during the 19th century. In the second half of the nineteenth century, after the Barbaro family had died out, the buildings were purchased by the Curtis-Conte family (still owners today), who, in addition to carrying out the restoration, hosted the great writer Henry James there. Between 2000 and 2001 the facade was completely renovated and painted. (Original) L'edificio di destra, detto semplicemente Palazzo Barbaro (per distinguerlo dalla parte vecchia), è un ampliamento degli anni 1690, su progetto di Antonio Gaspari, l'architetto di Ca' Zenobio degli Armeni: ospita una prestigiosa sala da ballo ancora oggi magnificamente conservata. In questa nuova parte fu chiesta la mano di Giambattista Tiepolo per la decorazione interna, tuttavia andata perduta nel corso del XIX secolo. Nella seconda metà dell'Ottocento, dopo che la famiglia Barbaro si era estinta, i palazzi furono acquistati dalla famiglia Curtis-Conte (ancora oggi proprietaria), che, oltre a provvedere al restauro, vi ospitò il grande scrittore Henry James. A cavallo tra il 2000 e il 2001 la facciata è stata completamente ristrutturata e tinteggiata.

The usual thing: arriving by foot on land is very complicated (more so if you have suitcases) getting there is always convenient by water taxi. The air conditioning and heating do not work correctly (at least in my case) I think they purposely limit their operation. At times I was forced to open the window due to the heat inside the room. This caused it to be filled with mosquitoes. In short, they are minor details that can be corrected. I will surely return. (Original) Lo bueno: lindo lugar, bien ambientado. Es un lugar elegante.

El aire acondicionado y la calefacción no funcionan correctamente (por lo menos en mi caso) creo que limitan adrede su funcionamiento.

Palazzo Loredan is a renowned landmark in Venice, situated along the Grand Canal. Dating back to the 13th century, this Venetian Byzantine building has undergone numerous transformations over time.

The interior of the palazzo is truly stunning, featuring remarkable furnishings that add to its allure.
Say an exhibition in this gorgeous palazzo. Would return there in a second. Has a really amazing interior, including furnishings.

(Translated by Google) Palazzo Loredana on Campo Santo Stefano is a palace in the San Marco district of Venice overlooking Campo Santo Stefano. Before being acquired by the Loredan family in 1536 and restored by the architect Antonio Abbondi, it was a group of adjacent Gothic buildings belonging to the Mocenigo family. (Original) Палаццо Лоредан на Кампо Санто Стефано — палац у районі Сан-Марко у Венеції з видом на Кампо Санто Стефано. До придбання родиною Лоредан у 1536 році та реставрації архітектором Антоніо Аббонді це була група прилеглих будівель у готичному стилі, що належали родині Моченіго.

(Translated by Google) Built in the 16th century by the noble Loredan family (who claim to have even Muzio Scevola as their lineage leaders...) on buildings owned by another historic Venetian family, the Mocenigos. Over the years it has changed function several times (it was also the seat of the Ministry of War in 1813), becoming increasingly enriched with works of art. Today, it houses an important art museum, one of the most important in Venice. Inside it houses the famous Venetian Pantheon, a collection of busts of the characters who contributed to making Venice great in the world. Historic and very interesting. (Original) Costruito nel XVI secolo dalla nobile famiglia del Loredan ( che sostengono di avere come capistirpe addirittura Muzio Scevola..) su edifici di proprietà di un'altra storica famiglia veneziana, i Mocenigo. Negli anni ha cambiato funzione più volte( è stato anche sede del Ministero della guerra nel 1813), arricchendosi sempre più di opere d'arte. Oggi, ospita un importante museo d'arte, uno dei più importanti di Venezia. Al suo interno ospita il famoso Pantheon veneziano, una raccolta di busti dei personaggi che hanno contribuito a rendere grande Venezia nel mondo. Storico e molto interessante.

The worst experience. They force you to lose your money once you are enrolled. Once you are enrolled, they ask you to withdraw before 31 october but you also have to submit visa refusal attestation so you can get refund of your fees. On the other hand, you can join course till 31 december. So suppose it is 29 october and you haven't yet recieved appointment at embassy, your money is lost. because if you wait to get visa rejection attestation, it will pass 31 october. so you lost money. on the other hand, if you apply for withdrawal, you can not get money as you don't have visa rejection attestation. Long story short, once you pay money, you never get it eventhough they say you can get it

⭐☆☆☆☆ I am extremely disappointed with Ca' Foscari University. I applied to this university and paid my tuition fees, reassured by their policy that I would receive a full refund if my visa application was rejected. Unfortunately, despite my visa being denied and providing all the necessary documentation, the university has refused to return my money. The administration has been unresponsive and unhelpful throughout this process. It is disheartening to see such a lack of integrity and respect for students. I strongly advise prospective international students to think twice before applying here, as their refund policy is clearly not honored. ---

Simply horrible university. The international office consists of rude and unhelpful bummers who won't lift a finger to assist a student. A lot of lecturers bully, discriminate and fail students for no reason and if you try to complain to someone higher up the answer is basically that it's your problem even if you produce real evidence of the lecturer's incompetence and lack of adequacy. If you are an international student I recommend avoiding this university at all costs and probably reconsidering studying in Italy in general because the Italian education system is very corrupt and unfair

Palazzo Barbarigo Minotto is a stunning 16th-century Renaissance palace with an exceptional facade along the Grand Canal. The facade features remarkable Murano glass mosaics commissioned by the Testolini brothers in 1886. Visitors have described their experience at this venue as intimate and extraordinary, particularly for opera shows. The setting provides a unique touch to the performances, creating a special and memorable atmosphere. Additionally, guests have praised the reasonable prices and quality of food available at this remarkable location.

Hard to find but ok in the end, the setting is beautiful and the singing was great. It was hard to see from a few rows back. For each act we moved to a different room which changed things up a bit.

Perfect intimate setting for a night of opera. See Musica a Palazzo: La Traviata
Carey Z — Google review
I saw Verdi's La Traviata there last weekend. It was a stripped down version of the opera, with just 3 musicians and 3 singers in a 2-hour production with 2 10-minute intermissions. It was thus a minimalist production and interpretation. I saw a minimalist production of Carmen at the Met about 40 years ago (time?). Both worked. This production of La Traviata was very special because it was so intimate. There were only a few rows of seating, so there were times when the singers were just a meter or two away. When was the last time you had very good opera singers in your living room? The other great feature was that the 3 acts of the opera were each performed in a different room of the Palazzo, with the production and the audience moving on the intermission. The attached pictures show the set of the second and third acts. In short, the opera, with its beautiful and iconic music, was innovative, intimate, and a lot of fun. A great 2-hour interlude in the fabulous city of Venice--an indelible experience. I highly recommend it!

(Translated by Google) Fantastic free panoramic terrace with 360-degree views of the Queen of the Adriatic!!! You have to book online 20 days in advance, but it's absolutely worth it. The building offers four floors of fantastic shops with niche clothing and items (it seems fitting, given that the building is an architectural work of art, so perfumes and precious garments are found in a jewel-like setting). The view is nothing short of breathtaking, especially considering that Rialto is the heart of the city and it was here that the first settlements were established. You can see the domes of St. Mark's Basilica like a mirage on the horizon, then the islands of Murano, Burano, Torcello, and the many bell towers of Venice, as if they were signs that so much beauty is man-made, but with the complicity of Higher Powers. Venice is a magical treasure chest: it contains history, culture, oriental scents, cicchetti on every corner, and narrow streets that lead us, if we allow ourselves to be captivated by the magnetism of wandering randomly in search of everything and nothing, to unique views. Venice also contains mysteries, dramas, and joys, with its gondolas, regattas, high water, and the reflections of lace-adorned palaces, mullioned windows, pure white marble, aristocratic carnival, and the lively comings and goings of enchanted tourists. Technology and the artificial digital world run wild, but they can never replace this cocktail of Poetry, Art, Charm, and Mystery. Venice is for everyone: it doesn't require a very high income. Despite being the most beautiful city in the world, it can be savored in half a day; however, it requires and offers the desire to discover, live, and breathe in the Magic. Question: WHY HAS THIS VISION BEEN CLOSED TO THE PEOPLE WHO LOVE BEAUTY? REOPEN! (Original) Fantastica terrazza panoramica gratuita con vista a 360 gradi sulla Regina dell'Adriatico!!! Va prenotata 20 giorni prima online ma ne vale assolutamente la pena; Il palazzo offre 4 piani di negozi fantastici con capi e articoli di nicchia, (mi pare anche giusto visto che il palazzo è un'opera d'arte architettonica, così profumi e capi preziosi si trovano in una cornice gioiello). La vista è a dir poco mozzafiato, soprattutto pensando che Rialto è il cuore della città ed è proprio qui che ci furono i primi insediamenti. Si vedono le cupole della basilica di San Marco, come un miraggio all'orizzonte, poi le isole di Murano Burano Torcello e i tanti campanili di Venezia, come indici ad indicare che tanta Bellezza è fatta dall'uomo ma con.la complicità di Forze Superiori. Venezia è uno scrigno magico: contiene storia cultura profumi d'oriente, cicchetti ad ogni angolo e calli che ci conducono, se ci lasciamo rapire dal magnetismo dell' andare a caso alla ricerca di tutto e niente, in scorci unici. Venezia contiene anche misteri, drammi e gioie, tra gondole, regate, acqua alta e riflessi palazzi ricamati di merletti, bifore, marmi bianchissimi, aristocratico carnevale e andirivieni vivacissimo di turisti incantati. La tecnologia è il mondo digitale artificiale corrono all'impazzata ma non potranmo mai sostituire questo cocktail di Poesia Arte Fascino Mistero. Venezia è per tutti: non richiede un reddito altissimo. Pur essendo la citta piu bella del.mondo, si può assaporare in.mezza giornata; richiede ed offre però la voglia di scoprire vivere e respirare Magia. Domamda: PERCHÉ E STATA CHIUSA AL POPOLO AMANTE DEL BELLO QUESTA VISIONE? RIAPRITE!

A small area is opened this Venice Biennale for Thai exhibition Spirits of the Maritime Crossing. We were early that is why the sign said close but came back again later.

In 1924 a major renovation of the building was carried out, which included raising the floor and placing the iconic mosaic on the facade. In general, the facade of the building is of the most clean lines and would hardly stand out from the surrounding buildings if it were for the large central mosaic, with single circular windows on the sides.

Като цяло фасадата на сградата е с максимално изчистени линии и едва ли щеше да се отличава по нещо от околните здания, ако е беше голямата централна мозайка, с единични кръгли прозорци отстрани.

However, in 1998, a significant restoration effort breathed new life into this architectural gem.

Originally constructed in the Venetian-Byzantine style, it was later renovated in the 15th century with the addition of Gothic elements.

(Translated by Google) The building, which was initially built in the Venetian-Byzantine architectural style, was rebuilt in the 15th century with the addition of Gothic elements. The inhomogeneous facade is almost entirely made of red bricks and is characterized by its narrow, high shape. There is a ground floor, a mezzanine, a main floor and two upper floors. The distribution of the decorative elements, seemingly without any order, makes the analysis of the main facade difficult. (Original) Das Gebäude, das anfangs im venezianisch-byzantinischen Baustil errichtet wurde, wurde im 15. Jahrhundert unter Anbringung gotischer Elemente umgebaut. Die inhomogene Fassade ist fast vollständig in roten Mauerziegeln erstellt und zeichnet sich durch ihre schmale, hohe Form aus. Es gibt ein Erdgeschoss, ein Zwischengeschoss, ein Hauptgeschoss und zwei obere Geschosse. Die Verteilung der Zierelemente, scheinbar ohne jede Ordnung, macht die Analyse der Hauptfassade schwierig.

Historical landmark
Palazzo Orio Semitecolo Benzon, a historic palace commissioned by the noble Orio family in the 14th century, is an architectural gem that showcases different styles on each of its four floors. The predominantly Gothic facade exudes unique character, with the first noble floor reflecting 14th-century styles, the second floor featuring 15th-century elements, and a 19th-century addition on the top floor.
(Translated by Google) The façade, characterized mainly by Gothic forms, has different characteristics on each floor: the first noble floor follows the typical styles of the 14th century, the second those of the 15th century, while the last floor was added during the 19th century. The main floor is characterized by an airy six-light window, composed of a four-light window with two single-lancet windows supported by pillars and featuring a small protruding balcony. (Original) La facciata, caratterizzata in prevalenza da forme gotiche, presenta caratteri diversi in ogni piano: il primo piano nobile segue gli stilemi tipici del XIV secolo, il secondo quelli del XV secolo, mentre l'ultimo piano è stato aggiunto durante il XIX secolo. Il piano nobile è caratterizzato da un'ariosa esafora, composta da una quadrifora alla quale sono giustapposte due monofore sostenute da pilastri e recanti balconcino aggettante.

(Translated by Google) According to me. There is no access. There is no appointment or anything. Only the history of the museum on the internet. Legends! Through the canal you can only see the façade. (Original) Según yo. No hay acceso. No hay vicita ni nada. Solo la historia del museo en internet. Leyendas! Por el canal se ve la fachada solamente.
Marco A — Google review
(Translated by Google) It is the result of several construction interventions. The lower part dates back to the late 14th century, the central part to the 15th century, while the upper part dates back to the early 1900s (contemporaneous with the nearby Palazzo Salviati). Privately owned, it cannot be visited. (Original) E' il risultato di diversi interventi costruttivi. La parte bassa e' della fine del XIV, quella centrale del XV, mentre la parte piu' alta e' dell'inizio del 1900 ( contemporanea al vicino Palazzo Salviati ). Privato, non e' visitabile.

Dogana da Terra, located in the Rialto area, has a rich history of destruction and reconstruction. After being damaged by fires, the palace was reconstructed in 1531 and later restored. In 1842, it was demolished but architect Lorenzo Santi rebuilt it in 1843, preserving its historical significance amidst the challenges it faced over time.

40Fondaco dei Tedeschi

Mentioned on 
1 list 
Building
Fondaco dei Tedeschi has a rich history dating back to 1228, serving as the hub for 'German' merchants conducting business in Venice. The Republic of Venice heavily relied on their trade, evident from the reconstruction efforts after a fire and lavish interior decorations by artists like Titian. Referred to as 'the golden ark of the Senate,' it was not only a place of commerce but also provided refuge for merchants.
