Description

Explore Venice's must-see landmarks and take a gondola ride

Begin your guided tour at St. Mark’s Basilica, one of Italy’s most important examples of Byzantine art. Inside, see the gold mosaics and marble floors while your guide explains the history and key features of this landmark. Continue to the Doge’s Palace, once the center of government of the Venetian Republic. Walk through its main rooms, view works by Titian, Veronese, and Tintoretto, and learn how Venice was governed for centuries. After the palace, take a gondola ride along the Grand Canal. Pass under bridges and along scenic waterways, and see landmarks such as La Fenice Theater, the Peggy Guggenheim Collection, and Santa Maria della Salute. Finish at the History Gallery of Venice, where a virtual reality experience shows how Piazza San Marco looked in the medieval period, including the Basilica as the Doge’s private chapel and the Palace as a fortress.
