Piazza San Marco

This spacious square remains impressive to every visitor. Whether it is packed with tourists, or nearly deserted in the early morning hours, this is one of sights you will want print on your retina to remember for the rest of your life.  Besides the Basilica di San Marco, the piazza houses the Campanile (the 99 metres high tower which offers some excellent views of the city), the Torro dell'Orologio, the Palazzo Ducale and other architectural beauties.

Looking for romance? Stroll the Piazza San Marco after dark, treat yourself to a cup of decadent hot chocolate, and dance under the stars to the music played by live orchestras entertaining a relaxed crowd of sidewalk cafe patrons.
