Tour · 4 nights · with Just You
Four nights with Just You visiting Venice, Pasiano di Pordenone and Padua over Christmas, combining city sights with a festive local stay in a Veneto-Friuli border boutique hotel.
Highlights
Guided tour of VeniceIncluding St Mark's Square and Rialto Bridge
Boat ride along Venice's canals lit for Christmas
Festive Christmas lunch in Pasiano di Pordenone
Visit to Padua's 13th-century Basilica of St Anthony
This small-group holiday with Just You begins in Venice, where a guided tour on Christmas Eve covers essentials such as St Mark's Square, Doge's Palace and the Rialto Bridge, before taking a boat ride on the canals as they light up for the season. After a busy day, the group will settle in Pasiano di Pordenone, at the border of Veneto and Friuli, in the former residence of Countess Luppis.
Christmas Day is a quiet affair with a relaxed morning and a festive lunch at the hotel, followed by some simple games. The next day is for Padua, one of northern Italy's oldest cities. The 13th-century Basilica of St Anthony is a key sight and offers a reminder that this is a place pilgrims have frequented for centuries, long before Italian railways linked it to the rest of Europe.
The holiday ends after breakfast on Boxing Day, with a transfer back to Venice airport. Flights to Italy are never as short as one might hope, but a few days among these quieter towns and a magical Venice at Christmas offers a change of pace from the usual December rush.
