Day 01
Saint Mark's Square, Hidden Alleys, and Rialto
- Meet your tour guide and start from Saint Mark's Square with a complete overview of the following:
- Doge's Palace: The Doge's Palace is a palace built in Venetian Gothic style and one of the prominent landmarks of the city of Venice in northern Italy.
- Basilica of Saint Mark: St Mark's Basilica is one of the main landmarks of the city of Venice in northern Italy.
- Bell Tower: St Mark's Campanile is the bell tower of St Mark's Basilica in Venice, Italy. The current campanile is a reconstruction completed in 1912, after the previous tower collapsed in 1902.
- Torre dell'Orologio: The Clock Tower in Venice is an early Renaissance building on the north side of the Piazza San Marco, at the entrance to the Merceria. It comprises a tower, which contains the clock, and lower buildings on each side. It adjoins the eastern end of the Procuratie Vecchie.
- Riva degli Schiavoni: The Riva degli Schiavoni is a waterfront area in Venice, Italy. There is a lively - albeit often overcrowded - promenade along the waterfront, which sits on St Mark's Basin.
- Bridge of Sighs: The Bridge of Sighs is a bridge in Venice, Italy. This enclosed bridge is made of white limestone, has windows with stone bars, passes over the Rio di Palazzo, and connects the New Prison to the interrogation rooms in the Doge's Palace.
- We will then leave the main square to go to the lesser-known area of Campo Santa Maria Formosa, and after a few more narrow alleyways, we will reach Rialto.
