Opened on December 29th, 1720, Caffè Florian is the oldest continuously operating coffee house in Italy, and one of oldest in the world (after Café Procope in Paris, established in 1686).

Initially named ‘Alla Venezia Trionfante,’ or ‘Triumphant Venice,’ locals soon began simply referring to it as ‘Florian’s’ after its founder, Floriano Francesconi. This illustrious establishment, with a history spanning over 300 years, remains a place where Venice and the world converge.

Your visit will start by boat, then a brief stroll with your guide, who will share anecdotes about this ancient café and its city. “Andemo da Florian!” (“Let’s meet at Florian’s!”) - a slogan echoing for almost three centuries - invites both Venetians and visitors to immerse themselves in its unique atmosphere. Once settled at your table in Florian’s, you’ll have the opportunity to enjoy breakfast. Indulge in fresh and delicious products prepared daily in Florian’s laboratory. Your experience includes coffee, hot tea, or cappuccino perfectly paired with biscuits. It will set you up perfect for two hours of free time to explore the streets of Venice, absorbing its charm and beauty, before the boat takes you back to the port.
