A guided day trip to Venice by high-speed train, with a walking tour of St. Mark's Square, the canals, and Venice's maritime history.

St. Mark's Square didn't start out as the open plaza visitors see today. The space began taking its current shape in the 9th century, when Doge Vitale II Michiel had a canal running through the area, the Rio Batario, filled in, clearing the ground that would become the political and religious heart of the Venetian Republic for the better part of a thousand years.
For roughly four centuries, this square was arguably the single most powerful piece of real estate in Europe, the staging ground for ceremonies and processions overseen by the Doge's Palace and the gold mosaics of the Basilica, while Venetian ships controlled trade routes stretching across most of the eastern Mediterranean. Two columns standing at the square's edge were brought from Constantinople in the 12th century, marking what was literally the gateway into that maritime power.
Covering the roughly 125-mile distance from Florence to Venice by high-speed train, rather than driving, is simply the faster option for a single-day round trip — about two hours each way — leaving more of the day for the walk through the square and canals themselves, and for a guided look at how a city built entirely on water became, for a time, one of the wealthiest trading powers in the world.
