Attraction

Basilica di San Marco

San Marco 328, Venice, 30124

Otherwise known as St. Mark’s Basilica, this is one of the most popular sites for visitors to see in Venice. Just a visit to the massive and bustling square set before it is enough to elicit “oohs” and “aahs,” especially in the evening, when cafes along the square are hopping and musicians can be found playing classical music at every turn. The church was built in 832 AD with an ornate décor of marble and mosaics, and houses the remains of St. Mark. Visit first thing in the morning to avoid the lines.
