Christmas brings a unique atmosphere to La Serenissima, returning Venice to a place of brooding mystery and beauty. It’s a time for the cognoscenti to enjoy the city’s undimmed charms in peace and solitude. Galleries and museums remain open on most days so visitors will find them blissfully quiet. Our visits include Ca’Rezzonico with its 18th century art, the Frari, the Scuola Grande di San Rocco and the Cini Foundation on the island of San Maggiore. We stay at the 4 star Deluxe Monaco & Grand Canal Hotel, one of the most stylish in Venice, and will enjoy delicious Venetian cuisine, including Christmas lunch at the famous Hotel Danieli.
...when you travel with Kirker
The Monaco is one of Venice’s most famous hotels. The entrance leads into a stylish lobby from where a grand staircase takes you up to the beautifully restored 18th century former Venetian theatre, complete with original fresco ceilings.
