Dinner Reception at Venice Golf Club (Venice Lido)

Participants are invited to meet at the lobby of the Excelsior Hotel at 18:30. EUsalt staff will bring all participants to the boat dock, which is a 7-minute walk from the Excelsior Hotel, at 18.45. Departure by boat is scheduled at 19.00 from the dock. Return to the Excelsior Hotel by boat transfer expected between 22:30 and 23:00.

 

08:45 — 16:00
Excursion day

On Thursday 11, all participants will enjoy a panoramic boat tour through the Venetian lagoon, including a visit to a traditional Murano glass factory with a glass-blowing demonstration. 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.

IMPORTANT NOTE

Participants are requested to meet in the lobby of the Hotel Excelsior at 08:45. Departure by boat is scheduled for 09:00 sharp.

The excursion includes boat transfers and walking tours across Venice. Lunch is expected to conclude at approximately 15:00, with return to the hotel anticipated around 16:00. Please note that this timing cannot be guaranteed due to local traffic and navigation conditions.

As a result, EUsalt will not be able to arrange earlier transfers from the excursion or from the lunch venue.

Please also note that suitcases and large luggage cannot be accommodated during the excursion due to the boat transfers and walking activities involved.

Participants are therefore kindly requested to check their flight schedules carefully and ensure they have sufficient time to travel from Hotel Excelsior to the airport after the excursion.
