River cruise on the Burchiello.

Every year from March till October, Il Burchiello cruises along the Brenta River with departure from Padua or Venice on alternate days. The excursion is highly interesting from the historical, cultural and artistic point of view. Along the Canal we can admire more than fifty villas, once summer residences of the Venetian nobility. While the cruise takes us through some really beautiful spots, we can appreciate the high technological value of the engineering work carried out in order to create this ship canal, allowing the development of civilisation over the years. Along the way, Il Burchiello stops at three of the most important mansions: Villa Pisani, Barchessa Valmarana or Villa Widmann and Villa Foscari "Malcontenta".
