The City Code · Italy

Venice

A city that belongs to whoever is still there at night.

Arriving

A private water taxi from Marco Polo to the hotel's own water door — the only arrival that makes sense here.

Book this first

Your hotel, months out, and a table on the lagoon islands for one long lunch.

What is worn

Elegant and flat-soled; the bridges and stone are unforgiving.

Money & manners

Cards everywhere; small cash for the traghetto and the bacari.

The golden hour

Eleven at night in the Cannaregio, when the day visitors have gone and the city returns.

The usual mistake

Coming for the day. Venice only reveals itself after the last tour boat leaves.

From the collection

The stay, the table, the morning
