Excursion day

Enjoy a panoramic boat tour through the Venetian lagoon, including a visit to a traditional Murano glass factory. During the cruise, participants will discover the historical importance of salt in Venice and its role in the city’s development.

The programme continues with a guided walking tour in the Dorsoduro district, in the Zattere area where the ancient salt warehouses were once located. Highlights include Punta della Dogana, the Basilica della Salute, and the historic Squero di San Trovaso.

The experience concludes with lunch at a local restaurant in the Zattere area, followed by transfers back to the Excelsior hotel.

NOTE: As this programme takes place outside the hotel and involves travel across Venice, the exact timing of the return to the Excelsior hotel cannot yet be guaranteed. For this reason, participants who wish to join the social programme are kindly advised not to book return flights on Thursday afternoon. If possible, please consider either departing later in the evening or the following day (Friday). Alternatively, members with early departures may prefer not to register for the social programme.
