St Mark's Square (Piazza San Marco)
The city's great square, framed by arcades, the basilica and the bell tower. Come early to see it before the crowds build.

St Mark's Basilica
A church covered inside with golden mosaics, built to hold the relics of St Mark. Sunday and holiday mornings are kept for worship, so visits start in the early afternoon on those days; book a time slot to skip most of the queue.
