Venice

Discover St. Mark's Basilica on Foot

One hour inside St. Mark's with a guide the Curia had to approve

Sightseeing

Why We Love it

The hour turns on two things — the Pala d'Oro and the Basilica's Treasury — and you take the mosaics in from a seat rather than shuffling past them.

Spellbound  Images & Cut Outs - 36 copy.

The Experience 

One hour inside St. Mark's Basilica with a guide authorized by the Curia of Venice, entrance included.


Byzantine architecture, gold mosaics, marble inlay and the biblical scenes worked through them — taken in from a seat rather than on the move. Two things carry the hour: the Pala d'Oro, and the Basilica's Treasury with its collection of sacred art.


An hour, at 10:30 am or 2:30 pm, with check-in fifteen minutes before. My pick for travelers who want one hour done properly rather than a half-day of monuments, and for anyone who would rather have the mosaics explained than guess at them.

From $109 per person
