Venice, the city of waters, bridges and magic that has captured the hearts of travellers from all over the world for centuries. Every year, during the Bridges, this unique city is transformed into a stage for unique events and traditions, but there is one event that stands out above all others: the ‘Su e Zo per i Ponti’ (Up and Down the Bridges). An unparalleled experience, which makes a stay in Venice during this period an unrepeatable opportunity.
This year Leo, the event’s mascot, dresses up as Marco Polo and reads Il Milione, to honor the 700th anniversary of his death.

Marco Polo’s legacy persists to this day, celebrated as a key figure in the history of exploration and intercultural relations. It will take place on April, the 14th 2024!
