Day-by-day tour program
We’ve taken care of everything—here’s what awaits you
- Our journey starts at the Gallerie dell'Accademia, home to the most important collection of Venetian art from the 14th to 18th centuries. During a private guided tour, we’ll explore the profound influence Venice has had on global culture.
- We’ll then have a special encounter with the work of Marina Abramović, one of the most influential figures in performance art today. Experiencing her work within the context of the Biennale is truly unique.
- Next, over an aperitivo, we’ll take in the stunning views of Venice’s canals before continuing our art journey at Palazzo Grassi, owned by François Pinault, where we’ll visit an exhibition by one of today’s most sought-after young artists, Michael Armitage.
- In the evening, we’ll enjoy dinner followed by a walk through the city—an extension of the artistic experience, where art and life in Venice are almost impossible to separate.
- Today we’ll visit Palazzo Grimani, where we’ll see an exhibition by renowned Ghanaian artist Amoako Boafo, known for his expressive style and masterful portraiture.
- We then head to the Giardini della Biennale — the historic heart of the Venice Biennale — home to the national pavilions of the participating countries. We’ll visit the most compelling pavilions and key projects, ensuring you experience the very best of the 2026 Biennale.
- In the evening, a truly special event awaits — an immersive performance of Rigoletto in an intimate palace on the Grand Canal. You’ll find yourself at the heart of the action, as music, architecture, and the atmosphere of a historic palazzo come together to create a unique artistic experience.
- In the morning, after a leisurely breakfast, we set out to explore the second major venue of the Venice Biennale — the Arsenale, a former military complex. Here, you’ll find pavilions by newer participants, showcasing some of the most bold, experimental, and thought-provoking projects.
- After lunch, we’ll visit an exhibition by renowned American artist and photographer Lorna Simpson at Punta della Dogana. This former customs house on the Grand Canal is one of Venice’s most striking contemporary art spaces. It’s here that Simpson’s work resonates with particular intensity — within a setting where architecture, light, and water become part of the artistic experience.
- In the evening, we’ll unwind on a terrace overlooking the Grand Canal — soft light reflecting on the water, conversations about art flowing naturally, and the feeling that the entire city has become part of a vast, living exhibition.
- For our final day, a few exceptional exhibitions remain — those not to be missed. At the Ca' Pesaro, we’ll see a show by British artist Jenny Saville, whose large-scale works explore the body, perception, and human vulnerability.
- Next, we encounter another world-renowned artist — Anish Kapoor — at Palazzo Manfrin. This ambitious project spans monumental sculptures and immersive installations that play with light, space, and perception. It’s the kind of art that cannot be understood through books alone — it must be experienced firsthand. An opportunity not to be missed.
- Our journey through the Biennale — filled with iconic names and the timeless beauty of Venice — comes to an end. We part ways, but not for long.
Guided by an expert
Your guide is an art historian with a strong academic background and many years of experience in the art world. She graduated from the Moscow Academy of Arts with a degree in Art History and worked as an expert appraiser of painting and decorative arts at the Gelos Auction House.
She studied contemporary art at Ca' Foscari University of Venice through the Arte Moderna program and completed an internship at Fondazione Prada during the exhibition When Attitudes Become Form. Since 2017, she has been working as a guide in Venice and undergoes annual professional training related to the Venice Biennale — allowing her to reveal it to guests in ever deeper and more engaging ways.

For me, art is not just about exhibitions or artists’ names — it’s a way of seeing the world differently. And my goal is to show you Venice and the Biennale in a way that not only informs, but truly allows you to feel the power and beauty of contemporary art.
