Begin your tour in St. Mark’s Square, the historic and symbolic centre of Venice. From here, skip the entrance lines and step inside St. Mark’s Basilica – a space unlike any other in Europe. Beneath its domes, more than a thousand years of history shimmer across vast fields of golden mosaics, while marble floors and columns gathered from across the Mediterranean reflect the global reach of Venice. As you explore the basilica, you’ll learn the story of Saint Mark, whose relics transformed Venice into a major religious centre, and discover how the basilica became a powerful symbol of the city’s identity. The experience continues in the Museum of St. Mark’s, home to original artworks from the basilica, including the famous bronze Horses of Saint Mark. Finally, step out onto the terrace overlooking Piazza San Marco, where the scale and spectacle of Venice’s most famous square come fully into view.
