Ca' Rezzonico Tour Includes: Entrance tickets, services of your private, licensed
local tour guide.
This private guided tour will take your through the
Ca' Rezzonico, otherwise known as the Museum
of 18th Century, set in one of the most beautiful
palaces on the Grand Canal in Venice. The Rezzonicos
were a family of rich merchants who became part
of the new aristocracy. This palace, completed
in 1756, became their lavish home in Venice.
The palace has been the site of the Museum of
the 18th Century since 1936. Here you can admire
the splendors of that age, viewing masterpieces
by Tiepolo, Guardi, Longhi, and Canaletto, as
well as a collection of antique Venetian glass
and the Rezzonico’s original furniture. The collections
aside, the palace itself is notable for its elegant
staircases and intriguing rooms to include a
Chinese-style salon, bridal chambers known as
the Throne Room, and a beautiful ballroom.
You can extend this private tour of Ca' Rezzonico to visit a chemist’s
shop and incredible painting collection, donated
to the Venice City Council, housed separately
on the third floor. This collection deserves
a visit of its own, particularly for those that
have already visited Ca' Rezzonico.
Another option in the area is to visit the Museum
of 17th Century Fashion and Costume in the Santa
Croce district. Back
