Londra Palace Gazette

The Londra Palace Gazette is an online journal. Its aim is to celebrate everything we love about Venice, to help you to plan your next visit to the Londra Palace Venezia, to keep this magical city alive in your hearts.

It’s best visited en route to taking a panoramic helicopter flight over Venice and the lagoon – a breathtaking once-in-a-lifetime experience which our concierge team would be happy to arrange.
