The Orient Express: Arriving In Venice
Make Your First Impression Of Venice The Best It Can Be


A journey on the Orient Express is by no means an arduous journey, with refined luxury all the way from London to Venice. But that doesn’t mean arrival won’t be a breath of fresh air, not to mention an exciting introduction to the lively city of Venice.

First Things First

Guests of the Orient Express traditionally follow their travels with a stay at the Hotel Cipriani. The hotel is not only centrally located, steps away from the Doge’s Palace, but it also epitomizes Venetian style and happens to possess the best pool in the city. But those of us looking to tread off the beaten path of Venice can select from the other lux options at hand using our trusty guide.

An Introduction To Venetian History

Venice is home to some of the most exquisite art and theater in Italy, from its galleries to its opera houses, and the grand city happens to host one of the most famous historic opera house in the world. Teatro La Fenice has been standing since the 1700s, and it still runs some of the most amazing shows in the country. Make a trip to awe at the architecture, or make an evening of it and reserve tickets to an opera showing.

Marvel At The City’s Beauty

The canals of Venice are definitely a sight to behold, but they only tread the surface of the treasures the city has to offer. The city is the birthplace of Venetian “cristallo”, a completely transparent colorless glass that can be blown into beautiful shapes. Also known as Murano glass-blowing, it can be spotted all over the city, and is a site to behold in the The Chandelier Of Venice.

Venice is the end of the Orient Express, but the beginning of an exciting and beautiful city. There is so much to do and see, but our guide will take you right where you should, and need, to go. Devote your first day in Venice to giving yourself a proper introduction to the city.
