Very easy to in since we had prepaid tickets. Basilica is lovely. I can't understand why one has to pay extra to see the altar cloth and the upper parts though. And why is there no reduced tickets for seniors?

Our tour guide was amazing!! She was energetic, knowledgeable and spoke clearly so it was easy to understand her (this is not always the case). We learned so much and enjoyed our time immensley.

The views are wonderful but there were quite a lot of people in the enclosure (enjoying and waiting to go down) and it was a long wait to use the elevator at the exit. The tickets at the ticket office cost 10 euros but this platform charged me 16 euros.

We went at 12.30h and there was a queue but not too long. We were thankful not to wait because of the heat. It is worth the climb to see all of Venice.

Your Experience

The Beckoning Chimes of St. Mark's

Venice has an iconic religious and architectural history, of which the St. Mark Bell Tower is a symbol. The tallest structure in Venice, it is an unmistakable part of the Venetian landscape standing 99 meters high. The tower has a robust Byzantine architecture, while the golden rotating statue of the Archangel Gabriel caps the tower with a touch of classic Venetian splendor.

The Loggetta of San Sovino that serves as the base of the tower used to be an arsenal unit, and is lined with statues of Roman gods like Mercury and Apollo. The reliefs display intricate allegories like Cyprus as Venus, born on the islands close to the water.

Withstanding the Test of Time & Nature

Tread the steps of the terracotta tower or step into the lift to reach the 5 bells of St. Mark. The arches of the belfry form the perfect frame for the scenery of the Venetian Piazza and the bordering lagoons. Often visited by intellectuals like Galileo, the tower was an important center for political or administrative announcements marked by the chimes of the bell. Struck by earthquakes and lightning on multiple occasions, the tower continues to stand strong for decades.
