What to expect
Basilica di San Marco
San Marco, 328, Venice, 30124, Italy
St Mark's Basilica stands in St Mark's Square like a treasure guarded by the sea and time. Its domes seem to float in the air, illuminated by the sun that caresses them, while the façade opens like a book of stone and gold, decorated with arches, columns of precious marble and mosaics that tell ancient stories. Upon entering, you are enveloped in a golden light: thousands of mosaic tiles cover the vaults and domes, transforming the space into a boundless sky, where saints and angels shine among the shadows. Every step echoes in the dim light, amid the scent of incense and a silence laden with centuries. St Mark's is not just a basilica: it is a dream of light and stone, a bridge between East and West, the beating heart of Venice that still today tells of the grandeur and mystery of the lagoon city. Choose from the following options: -Basilica ground floor only -Basilica ground floor+Pala d'Oro -Basilica ground floor+Museum and Terrace -Basilica ground floor+Pala D'Ooro+Museum+Terrace
Palazzo Ducale
Piazza San Marco, 1, Venice, 30124, Italy
Cultural visit to the interiors of the Doge’s Palace and access to the Prisons through the Bridge of Sighs: We enter the Doge’s Palace, the highest achievement of Gothic architecture in Venice, through the Porta del Frumento (Corn Door) on the waterfront. The monumental complex was the symbol and center of the political and administrative life of the Serenissima. At once the Doge’s residence, seat of government and court of justice and prisons, the Palace was for centuries the symbol of the wealth and power of the Venetian Republic.
