A Weekend in Venice for Young Couples: Art, Flavor, and Relaxation
A genuine two-day itinerary to explore the city without rushing
Venice is the perfect destination for a weekend getaway as a couple. Its walkable scale, countless romantic corners, and relaxed rhythm make it ideal for those looking to blend culture, local food, slow moments, and unforgettable views.
And with Hotel Alle Guglie as your base, every corner of the city is within walking distance.
This itinerary will help you enjoy two full but relaxed days, with time for discovery, spontaneity, and shared emotion.
Day 1 – Cannaregio, the Ghetto, fondamenta, and cicchetti
Morning
Start with breakfast at Torrefazione Cannaregio or Pasticceria Pitteri. Then head to the Jewish Ghetto, with its quiet courtyards, historic synagogues, and the Jewish Museum.
It’s the perfect place to begin the weekend with meaning and peace.
Light lunch
Stop by a bacaro like Alla Vedova for some classic Venetian meatballs, or share a small plate in one of the informal eateries along Strada Nova.
Afternoon
Stroll along the Fondamenta degli Ormesini and Fondamenta della Misericordia, two of Venice’s most authentic spots.
You’ll pass artisan studios, tiny bookshops, and quiet canals that reveal the city’s truest face.
Aperitivo and dinner
Enjoy a spritz and cicchetti at Al Timon or Paradiso Perduto.
For dinner, try Osteria ai Promessi Sposi for modern takes on Venetian classics in a warm, casual atmosphere.
After dinner
Take a slow walk along the canals or sip a glass of wine at Vino Vero, with soft music and a canal-side table.
Day 2 – Art, reflections, and slow moments
Morning
Take the vaporetto across the Grand Canal and explore Dorsoduro. Visit either the Gallerie dell’Accademia or the Peggy Guggenheim Collection, depending on your taste.
Then pause and enjoy the view from Accademia Bridge, one of the most beautiful in the early hours.
Lunch
Try Casa Bonita for a refined, creative lunch—or opt for something more casual but well-crafted nearby.
Afternoon
Go for a tandem kayak ride through the canals of Cannaregio, with tours departing close to the hotel. It’s a symbolic, active, and unforgettable experience.
Alternatively, explore open art studios or galleries nearby—perhaps with a gelato in hand.
Final dinner and evening
Dine at Osteria alla Frasca, where quality meets simplicity.
Then close out your weekend with live music at Fujiyama Jazz Club or Combo, both offering a stylish yet relaxed way to end your stay.
At Hotel Alle Guglie, we love to recommend experiences with soul. This weekend plan is for those who want to slow down and reconnect, in the most beautiful city in the world.
