Things to do on this trip

Basilica of Saint John and Paul

One of the largest churches in the city. The funeral services of all of Venice's doges were held here

Rialto Bridge

An amazing 1592 marble bridge is clogged with kiosks and foot-traffic jams. The oldest bridge across the canal

Church of Curvaceous St Mary

The name „formosa“ relates to an alleged appearance of the Holy Virgin disguised as a voluptuous woman

Saint Mark's Basilica

A splendid example of Eastern and Byzantine architectural influence. Lavish in its display of gold and silver work

Clock Tower Venice

An early Renaissance building on the Piazza San Marco built in 1496. The clock mechanism still keeps perfect time. A favourite meeting point.

St Mark's Campanile

Landmark of Venice. Surprisingly, it was originally built as a lighthouse. Worth visiting for the great view it offers.

St Mark's Square

One of the city's most popular areas and is considered by many to be the centre of Venice.
