Two hours that put the two halves of Venice together: the streets and the water. On foot, a local guide takes you from the Rialto Bridge into a courtyard at the end of a blind alley, where the Scala Contarini del Bovolo spirals up in open arches — half Gothic, half Renaissance, and missed by almost everyone. From there the walk works through Campo Sant’Angelo to La Fenice, the opera house that burned down three times and was rebuilt three times. Then you get into a gondola for thirty minutes, through the narrow canals and out onto the Grand Canal, and see the same city from the water.
