    Located in St. Mark square, right next to the Doge's Palace, the Saint Mark's Basilica has always been the centre of Venice's public and religious life. Today, it is open both for prayer and for the opportunity to admire its extraordinary artistic heritage.

    Start your incredible journey in front of the Basilica, learning about its history and architecture. Then, bypass the crowds and plunge into the storey, which is a tale like no other. Venice brought Byzantium's spiritual and material heritage to the West and preserved it till now, so travellers from all over the world could experience its grandeur.

    Be lucky to see 8000 square metres of mosaics covering the Basilica walls, vaults, and cupolas. Marvel at a unique architectural collection consisting of masterpieces of different types, epochs, and origins.

    As a bonus, when you've finished exploring the basilica and the square, we invite you on a stroll through the city of Venice. The route is designed to guide you through narrow cobblestone streets, over picturesque bridges, and alongside the shimmering Grand Canal, providing a structure to your discovery of Venice, concluding on the vibrant Rialto Bridge.
