The Grand Canal
Snaking through the heart of Venice, the Grand Canal is the main artery of Venice. Flanked by Gothic, Renaissance and Moorish palaces, a trip down the Canal is often the highlight of many people's trip. While the Gondola is the most romantic option, many opt for the less glamorous but equally as enjoyable ride on the 3.8 kilometres Water Bus Line 1, which passes some 50 palazzi and passes underneath the famous Rialto Bridge.

The Grand Canal
Rialto Bridge
Highlight of The Grand CanalWalk over or ride under the most famous bridge on the Grand Canal.
The 16th-century Rialto Bridge is the most iconic bridge in Venice. With a width of other 75 feet (23m) and span of over 100 feet (31m), the wide stone footbridge crosses over the Grand Canal and connects the San Marco and San Polo districts. It stands on the spot of an earlier wooden drawbridge which collapsed under the weight of a crowd gathered on it to watch a wedding procession. It took almost 150 years before the current Rialto bridge was built, this time in stone, and thus still stands as a symbol of the city. Surrounded by tourist shops and pricey restaurants, it sits on 12,000 wooden pilings and will be forever immortalised in millions of photographs as the backdrop to the classic Venetian photo shot, which captures the city's gondolas as they ferry lovers around the Grand Canal. While for many a gondola ride is a must-do experience in Venice, it's also possible to admire the bridge on foot. For a less-pricey way of seeing it from the water, you can always take the Number 1 local Vaporetto (water bus) and see the bridge as you pass underneath.

Ca'd'Oro
Highlight of The Grand CanalAdmire the elaborate 15th-century Gothic facade of this famous building along the Grand Canal.
The fifteenth-century Gothic and Renaissance style building is known as the house of gold because it once covered in gold leaf decoration. Despite the loss of the gilt facade, it is still one of the Venice’s most striking buildings and its best preserved Gothic palace. It can be appreciated from the Grand Canal but for those who want a closer look, it also houses the Galleria Giorgio Franchetti, a small art museum with a lovely restored interior. Just as good as the art is the opportunity to admire the lovely courtyard and to stand on the loggia above the Grand Canal and take in the view.

Doges' Palace
Highlight of 'First Walk', Guided Tour in VeniceExplore the staterooms and masterpieces inside this famous Gothic-style Palace.
Important Note: Entry lines can be very long. We suggest taking advantage of skip the line entry. As the name suggests, the Palace was the official residence of the Venetian rulers, the Doges, and the chief magistrates. The building was founded in the 9th century, but the present one dates from the 14th century. Tour its elaborate staterooms, grand halls and the 24-carat golden staircase before seeking out its collection of priceless masterpieces by Venetian artists including Titan, Veronese and Tintoretto. Be sure to spend some time in the most incredible room of all, the Chamber of the Great Council, the assembly hall where all Venetian patricians gathered to participate in the running of the city - up to 2,500 at any one time. There you will find the Doge's throne and the world's longest canvas painting in the world, Tintoretto's Il Paradiso.

Transfer to Rail Station
Because it's impossible to travel by a land taxi in Venice you will need to take a water bus (Vaporetto) from the nearest dock on the Grand Canal to Santa Lucia train station. You can use a Venezia Unica card or other travel pass, or simply buy a one-way ticket on the spot. If you do not want to take the Vaporetto, you can arrange a private transfer by water taxi or ask your hotel front desk to arrange one for you. Be sure to give your front desk some advance notice though, as it can be difficult to get a water taxi on the spot. Water taxis are expensive (about 75 EUR +), but they should be able to pick you up much closer to your place of lodging, or if your hotel has its own dock, directly from the dock.

Malini Dutta, Boston, Massachusetts
We can't thank you enough for the detailed plans, maps, and suggestions. It really felt that someone was holding our hands and showing us around. We had all the excitement of discovering foreign lands, with none of the problems that can happen while negotiating unfamiliar places. In fact, all the cities felt like home within a few hours of arriving and exploring. 
Bev and Mark Frankel, Williamsburg, Virginia
We could not be more pleased with Go Real Travel! You took the guess work out of things like public transport but still managed to allow us the freedom to tour as we wanted. Our guides were exceptional and every time I saw a Viking Cruise tour of 25 people, I realized the quality experience we were getting with Go Real.
Marianne Strydom, Paarl, South Africa
I just wanted to thank you for organizing an amazing trip for me – I packed in so much in such a short period of time and everything was just perfect. The way you do things makes it possible to really get to know the destination, which for me as a travel agent could not have been better.
Otto Chuy, Los Angeles, California
I am still surprised how everything worked as planned, without a hitch. All instructions in your itinerary were precise and correct. Your suggestions and comments in each of the locations we went to were very helpful. All your guides, without exception, were wonderful and exactly on time.

Zagreb
Zagreb is Croatia's biggest city, known for its cultural roots and vibrant street life. The city's rich history is evident in the mix of different architectural styles, including secessionist, classical, neo-Baroque, neo-Gothic, and art deco. Even the seemingly lackluster parts of town have been brought to life by street artists. At first glance, the red rooftops and cobblestone streets might seem reminiscent of other popular European cities, but you'll soon learn that Zagreb has a spirit all its own. Everywhere you go, you'll be rubbing elbows with lively locals hanging out at open cafes, gardens, and parks, or rushing to the next event on the calendar. Thanks to the spacious pedestrian zones attracting locals, expats, and visitors alike, socializing with new people and finding something unexpected to do is effortless. At night, the youth of the city becomes even more exuberant. With plenty of jazz clubs, beer halls, cocktail bars, and casinos, there's always something to do because the city never sleeps.

Rome
One of the must-sees of Italy, and indeed all of Europe, Rome is a city with history flowing through its veins. There is an endless amount to see, do, and learn here, with something for every taste and disposition. Rome was the center of Western civilization for a Millenium and during that time, accumulated a list of historical and cultural treasures that no other destination can truly match. The Pantheon, Colosseum, Roman Forum, and Cirus of Maxentius are just a few examples of what can be seen and experienced in Rome, which at times feels more like a giant outdoor museum than a city. At Rome’s heart, you’ll find the Vatican, home of the Roman Catholic Church and the Pope. Here visitors can see the legendary Sistine Chapel. Transcending a mere building, the chapel is a walk-in work of art. Although historical sights can be found on just about every corner, it’s entirely possible to fill a day just wandering around Rome. The city’s charming streets and open Piazzas are filled with beautiful sights and places to sit, grab the best Cappuccino in the world, and enjoy the view.

Milan
Milan is Italy’s most forward-looking city. An international center for fashion, fine dining, and design, it seems as though Milanese people breathe style. From the gleam on your wine glass to the twists of its cathedral’s spires, everything in Milan is finished to perfection. Home to the Italian stock exchange, a world-famous fashion industry, and a frantic business district, Milan is fast-paced and commercially minded. The shopping in Milan is second to none. At the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, one of the world’s oldest shopping malls, a glass-iron ceiling soars over brands like Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Massimo Dutti, and Amani. Along with the fashion, Milan’s cathedral, castle, and canals are also must-sees. But to view the city’s most prized possession - Leonardo da Vinci’s Last Supper, you must make an appointment. Tickets to view this mural sell out weeks in advance. It is truly a bucket-list worthy work of art. After a day taking in all the glamor and culture, take a seat in one of Milan’s well-appointed eateries. The Navigli Quarter is packed with restaurants, bars, and cafes, perfect for a relaxed Aperol spritz or pizza along the city’s canals.

Venice
Venice is a city with no equal. Built on a series of islands on a lagoon, it was once a powerful city-state. Echoes of that old magnificence can be seen everywhere here, from the stunning buildings that rise out of the canals, to the bridges that arc across them. Take a Gondola ride through the canals that form the city’s veins, or wander through the winding streets drinking in the sights. You’ll see Venice attracts tourists in huge numbers, and that’s with good reason. It’s home to a seemingly limitless amount of art, culture, history, and architecture. St Mark’s Basilica, the Doge’s Palace, and the Campanile di San Marco just barely scratch the surface. There’s a 700-year-old market, Rialto, which is still open today. The Ponte di Rialto bridge connects the neighborhoods of San Marco and San Polo, stretching across the Grand Canal. Venice has weathered the last several centuries with elegance and pride, a place that will surpass even your highest expectations.

Florence
Culture and history are thick in the air in Florence. Located on the banks of the Arno River in Tuscany, Florence’s past is deeply compelling. The birthplace of the Renaissance, Florence is where innovators like Dante, Machiavelli, Michelangelo, and Da Vinci made their fortunes. Centuries of art, politics, and commerce have left their mark on every stone in this Northern Italian city. In the 15th and 16th centuries, Florentine banks funded new enterprises that went on to change the history of the world. Powerful families like the Medici’s financed some of the finest art in history and pioneered new ways of doing statecraft and politics. As you stand in the Piazzale Michelangelo and gaze upon the city below it’s hard to take it all in at once. It feels like behind every door in Florence might hide a work of genius. Michelangelo’s David and Botticelli’s Primavera can be found just a short walk away. After a long day wandering the streets and gazing at art, fueled by exquisite coffee and gelato, relax like the locals do: with a glass of some of the best wine in the world.

Ljubljana
One of Europe's smallest capitals, Ljubljana is still Slovenia's biggest city. What it lacks in size, though, it more than makes up for in charm, beauty, and personality. It's also one of Europe's greenest cities and is perfect for a bike ride or a leisurely walk. With plenty of open spaces, gorgeous architecture, and cultural treats, it's easy to fill the time here. The Tromostovje, or Triple Bridge, is one of Ljubljana's main attractions, connecting the Old Town with the new. Excellent pizza can be found here, and a series of bars and cafes are dotted throughout the town and along the banks of the river. The anarchic Metelkova City reveals Ljubljana's grittier side, with art exhibitions and performances housed in a disused military barracks. Ljubljana is charm and beauty compressed neatly into a small and pretty space.
