After an introduction in St Mark’s Square, enjoy the fabulous St Mark’s Basilica (with skip-the-line tickets) and a walking tour to grasp the true essence of Venice, by learning about the glorious past and also everyday life.
ITINERARY:
St Mark’s Square, sumptuous theatre of the city splendour, in the past and in the present, protected by the silent majesty of the famous Bell Tower. Then, the inimitable and unique Basilica of San Marco with its thousands of square meters of gold mosaics and its oriental atmosphere
We highly recommend to include the Pala d’Oro, (the Golden Altar Piece), an amazing piece of art that also offers the opportunity of stopping for a few minutes closed to St Mark’s Tomb while listening to our stories and anedoctes. The tour can also include the Museum of the Cathedral with the amazing four bronze horses , stolen by the Venetian during the IV Crusade; from the upper floor the golden mosaics are closer and the ticket also allow you to get to the panoramic terrace.
We also suggest to complete this tour with an orientation walking tour throughout charming campi and campielli to talk about the history of Venice and everyday life in such a special town.
