Press Release: Canals and Canaletto
Tuesday 18th November 2008
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Where better to see the paintings of Canaletto than Venice itself. Short breaks to Venice and the Canaletto exhibition from £499 per person.
For those who want to put Canaletto’s famous Venetian landscapes to the test Railbookers recommends comparing the two with a short break to beautiful Venice and a trip to La Casa dei Carraresi Museum in Treviso for the "Canaletto - Venezia e i suoi splendori" exhibition.
Enter the world of Canaletto’s paintings and travel in true Venetian style with a gondola ride along the Grand Canal. Admire the magnificent Doges palace and explore works by other Venetian masters in the Santa Maria della Salute church.
Then admire Venice as seen through Canaletto’s eyes at La Casa dei Carraresi Museum in the historic city of Treviso, just 30 minutes away by train. The Canaletto Exhibition can only be booked through Railbookers with a Venice short break package and is running until 5th April 2009.
Visit Venice with Railbookers and stay at the 3* Antiche Figure Hotel from £499 per person for 4 nights with the 4th night free, including breakfast and return train travel. Canaletto exhibition tickets from £11 per person.
