Description - What to expect

Venice Walking Tour Itinerary

This half-day Venice Walking tour is the best introduction into the history of Venice and its impressive architectural monuments: the magnificent Doge's Palace, the seat of the government, the court of justice, the prison of the ancient Republic of Venice, the historical residence of the Doges and the St. Mark's Basilica, a symbol of the Christianity and the spiritual power of the city.

Meet your guide at St. Mark's Square, and start your fascinating journey back to glorious Venice. Learn about the city's past, its history, and the prevailing traditions. Admire one of the best squares in the world and listen to stories about its use up to its modern final shape.

Skip the line and walk inside the spectacular St. Mark's Basilica, also known as the Golden Church, due to the majesty of the treasures stored inside it and the golden mosaics that decorate its walls. Symbol par excellence of the greatness and power of the Republic of Venice, the Basilica preserves the remains of Saint Mark, stolen, according to the legend, in Alexandria by two ingenious Venetian merchants.

End your Venice Walking tour with a visit to the Doge's Palace, a masterpiece of Gothic architecture that has no equal in the world. Besides the beauty of the Courtyard, the magnificence of the Chambers where the history of the Venetian Republic was determined, and the charm of the most impenetrable prisons of the time, you will find important artworks by artists such as Tintoretto, Tiziano, Veronese, and many others.
