Here's the thing, both venues can get incredibly crowded, especially during peak tourist season and school holidays, so plan accordingly. But, the opportunity to stand on a floating museum and then seemingly float above the entire city makes the effort worthwhile.

A private boat tour offers the most intimate way to experience these illuminated artworks, gliding through centuries-old canals while contemporary sculptures cast rippling reflections across the water.
