Discover the squeri, the shipyard where traditional lagoon boats are built in the city that has been built to be navigated around.
Enter the world of Venetian squeri, small boatyards where expert craftsmen build and repair wooden boats. These activities are just as ancient as Venice itself, everything is still the way it used to be. Just a few steps away from the usual tourist routes, let’s meet the last master boat builders that pass on the art of building gondolas and all other typical lagoon boats.
A city born on water implies another logical consequence: the use of the "forcola" the venetian oarlock used for rowing in the venetian way.
Be enchanted by the care and patience characterizing these professions carrying on such an ancient tradition.
Walk around discovering lagoon boats moored on canal banks, ending up on a gondola ferry experiencing it is still a useful mean of transportation for local residents of this floating city.

Friendinvenice Venice at sunset
In the evening the city is finally for us.
The hasty tourists who decide to visit it, for a few hours, are gone .. and we can finally discover it by mixing with the Venetians they love before going home to take a spritz with their friends .. so let's start with a spritz, maybe in a place where I can amaze you, a place you would never have found without me. Then we will continue with our walk. Visiting Venice means dedicating days to deepening its traditions and its culture; in reality it would take weeks to fully enjoy its atmosphere,. In the Dorsoduro district, one of the most fascinating districts in the city, full of beauty and opportunities; we can immerse ourselves in this atmosphere.
Dorsoduro, once stood in a not very marshy area and therefore considered much more stable than the others. Come on, I hope I can make you feel real Venetians.
