Best Time to Watch: Afternoon. I’d say to find a nice spot around 3ish.
Enjoy Venice’s Regata Storica on the Grand Canal amongst locals and tourists on this sunny day! This re-enactment of the arrival of the Queen of Cyprus from the 16th century is a colorful demonstration along the Grand Canal ending with a lively competition and crowds cheering for their favorite team of synchronized rowers.
