Essential information for your travel to Venice
Venice is a masterpiece in every season, yet it reaches its most poetic depth during the pale clarity of spring or the golden, misty days of autumn. These periods coincide with the city's most prestigious cultural gatherings, including the Venice Biennale and the Venice Film Festival (Mostra).
While the city’s landmarks are iconic, we invite you to discover the authentic pulse of Cannaregio. This historic district, where Orient Express Venezia is housed within the 15th-century Palazzo Donà Giovannelli, offers a quiet retreat from the metropolitan bustle. It is a place where local craftsmanship, hidden art galleries, and the true Venetian "Art of Living" still endure.
Beyond St. Mark's, the true Orient Express experience lies in the inaccessible. We recommend a private dawn expedition across the lagoon on a traditional bragozzo to witness the forgotten islands. In the city, a private visit to the secret ateliers of gold-beaters and silk-weavers offers a rare glimpse into the savoir-faire that has defined Venetian luxury for centuries.
Venice serves as the ultimate crossroads for our Grand Italian Tour. Our dedicated conciergerie orchestrates every transition: arrive in cinematic splendor via the La Dolce Vita Orient Express train, find sanctuary at the Orient Express Venezia, and depart from our private docks to continue your odyssey aboard an Orient Express Sailing Yacht.
Absolutely. Discretion is the hallmark of our hospitality. From fully equipped private spaces for diplomatic meetings to protocol-friendly service tailored to cultural preferences, we ensure total confidentiality for all our guests.
