Day 6 Venice-Innsbruck

After breakfast, proceed to the pier to board your ferry to Venice Island.
Visit St Mark's square. Piazza San Marco was constructed in the ninth century as a small square dotted with trees. The square was laid out in front of the original St. Mark's Basilica, at the time a small chapel which was part of the Doge's Palace. The square was separated from the palace by a small canal, the Rio Batario. Already a central gathering place for Venetians, the piazza was enlarged in 1174 after the canal and an adjoining dock were filled in. The square became paved with bricks in 1267 in a herringbone pattern. In 1735 the bricks were replaced with natural stone and laid in a more complicated pattern according to a design devised by architect Andrea Tirali. The design marked the location where merchants could set up their stalls.

Visit a glass factory, where you’ll watch a glassblower creating beautiful pieces of glassware, a Murano tradition that dates back to 1291.

Innsbruck, the capital of Tyrol is one of the most beautiful towns of its size anywhere in the world, owing much of its charm and fame to its unique location – where Alps rise and peaks of the Tux Alps and Stubai surround the city.
Proceed to Swarovski Crystal Museum. Swarovski is arguably Austria’s best-known export. The crystals that brought the company a worldwide success have been incorporated into a subterranean theme park with a difference in Wattens, a suburb of Innsbruck. It’s a more modern art gallery than a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the actual creation of Swarovski’s famous crystal animals and jewellery.
