It's a little small, more like a square but really cute. Has benches to sit and relax while you stare at the beautiful waters
A little too expensive, as we were two students, but absolutely worth every penny. Gorgeous architecture accompanied by interesting notes about (almost) every room. I was slightly disappointed with the Bridge of sighs, I expected it to be a more open area in there, but it really is just two very narrow corridors, and you can't see very well through the windows. Despite that, still the most beautiful thing in Venice.
Probably the N. 1 tourist spot in Venice would be the San Marco Basilica and Square. Enjoy the view of this beautiful marvel of Itallo-Byzantine architecture. The admission to the basilica is free, but you should consider to make a reservation online (for 1,50 Eur) for the queue can take up 5 hours otherwise. Don't forget that you are in one of the most touristy spots in the world.
Connected to the cathedral, you will find the Campanile of St. Mark, a beautiful Romanesque tower providing you unusual views of the town and the whole lagoon. The admission fee is 8 EUR.
We spotted these beautiful chess sets while walking past the shop in 2019 but being near the beginning of a year-long family backpacking trip, we couldn't buy one. I took a photo of the shop, and 18 months later when back in Australia, contacted Aldo and arranged to buy it. He was very easy to deal with, a very responsive and reliable communicator, and I have just received the set, in less than a week. It was packed extremely carefully and we are thrilled with the condition of it. I highly recommend this wonderful shop.
The best modern art gallery I have seen anywhere in Italy, apparently not only a place of reference in art, but the eldest modern art gallery in Venice. An exclusive selection of unique masterpieces makes the place a must-go for art lovers, especially if your budget is 20k+. In this fourth generation family business you will experience a remarkable atmosphere of being almost genetically embedded into art, a feeling that is quite unrivaled around other art galleries of any kind, anywhere. All members of the Ravagnan family are very experienced and caring and will show a genuine interest in the accurately chosen artworks on display, while showing you around. Stemming from an artist, the whole family will let you feel like one of their members.
Venice is an incredible city to explore. As a wedding photographer I found it intriguing. The presence of large crowds in most areas required patience and seizing opportunity from moment to moment to get clear backgrounds.
Give yourself plenty of time to see the place properly and to get into the quieter areas away from the usual tourist path.
Walking this huge square with your friends, exploring all these wonderful monuments, and feel like a traveler, not a tourist.
What else can you ask?
Ancient church, although substantially the present structure depends only on the reconstruction of the 18th century.
Wonderful masterpiece by Venetian architect Carlo Scarpa! It has been very precisely restored to its original state, offering visitors a great and rather more personal experience with the architect’s work. While visiting the showroom one enters a different world and forgets the outside laying reality of being on the San Marco Square. It almost offers a sort of resting point in the busiest part of the city.
This year this palace is one of homes of Art Biennale. Superb palace at the beginning of Canal Grande.
A superb Biennale curated by Ralph Rugoff. One of the best I can remember.
