  3. Basilica di San Marco

    45 min Intrarea inclusă

    Step inside the spectacular St. Mark’s Basilica, a masterpiece of Byzantine art and architecture. Admire the breathtaking gold mosaics, the intricate marble floors, and the blend of Eastern and Western influences that make this cathedral unique.

    Climb up to the Loggia dei Cavalli, a stunning terrace overlooking Piazza San Marco, offering unparalleled views of Venice. Here, you’ll also see the famous Horses of St. Mark, the ancient bronze statues that once adorned the Hippodrome of Constantinople before being brought to Venice.

  4. Cavalli di Piazza San Marco

    15 min Intrarea inclusă

    From within the basilica, ascend to the Loggia dei Cavalli, an exclusive open-air terrace offering breathtaking views over Piazza San Marco. Here, you will also have the opportunity to admire the Horses of St. Mark, ancient bronze sculptures looted from Constantinople and placed above the basilica’s entrance as symbols of Venetian dominance. From this vantage point, enjoy a unique perspective of the basilica’s ornate façade and the lively square below.

  5. Pala D'Oro

    Inside the basilica, marvel at the Pala d’Oro, a magnificent golden altarpiece adorned with precious stones, intricate enamels, and stunning goldwork. This masterpiece, crafted by Byzantine and Venetian goldsmiths, is one of the most impressive religious treasures in the world.

  6. Palazzo Ducale

    45 min Intrarea inclusă

    Continue to the Doge’s Palace, the former residence of the Doges and the seat of Venetian political power for centuries. Walk through its opulent halls, including the Hall of the Great Council, where Venetian rulers debated matters of state beneath massive frescoes by Tintoretto and Veronese.

    Explore the lavish private apartments of the Doge, richly decorated with Renaissance masterpieces, and step inside the Chamber of the Secret Council, where Venice’s unique system of governance unfolded.

  7. Ponte dei Sospiri

    Conclude your tour with a walk across the legendary Bridge of Sighs, which connects the palace to the New Prisons.
