Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Pass By: Piazza San Marco, 31024 Venice Italy

A fantastic route, at the discovery of Venice’s secrets and its famous Carnival. You’ll be given a map to start you on the treasure hunt, but that’s not all: after downloading the App on your phone, this will become your compass and your personal automatic storyteller, recounting the secrets of the city and of this festive period.

The game will take you across the whole city, leading you into unexplored corners, and of course passing through the heart of Venice and the Carnival: St. Mark’s Square.

During the hunt, you’ll have to take a picture of at least 3 points highlighted on the map. At the end, the treasure will be yours: two Venetian masks, one beautifully decorated in traditional style and the other one white, just waiting to be painted. A professional Mask-maker will happily give suggestions to personalize it! Before you rush home to decorate the second one, put your finished mask on and take your carnival super selfie!

Itinerary


Pass By: Campo Santo Stefano, San Marco District, 30124 Venice Italy

Through impressive squares, among which Campo Manin, Campo Santo Stefano and Campo Sant’Anzolo. These are not squares per se, as the word “campo” actually means “field”.

Pass By: Scala Contarini del Bovolo, San Marco, 4303, 30124 Venice Italy

Discovering hidden treasures like the Scala Contarini del Bovolo.
• Then, the ancient Calle degli Assassini.
• Across the ponte delle Ostreghe, a bridge which is a testament to Venice’s ancestral fishing tradition.


Pass By: Campo San Maurizio San Marco 2754-2760, 30124 Venice Italy

And, of course, the churches. Most have incredible anecdotes to tell and sometimes even scandals. The church of san Maurizio, not so scandalous, does however host a great collection of musical instruments. Venice is after all the city of music.
