St. Mark's Basilica

Highlight • Religious Site

The construction of the original basilica was started in the year 828 and finished in the year 832, to house supposed relics of Saint Mark the Evangelist stolen from Alexandria. This fact was essential for Venice to establish itself as an independent episcopal see, since until then it had been subordinate to the bishoprics of Grado and Aquileia.

Rialto Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

To be seen possibly with the first sun of a clear day in March (when the transit of people is minimal), from a shore or better from a boat in the middle of the Grand Canal.

St. Mark's Square

Highlight • Historical Site

The heart of Venice, the soul of a glorious city capable of transcending time and keeping its beauty intact over the centuries. Piazza San Marco is the most beautiful square in Europe and certainly this statement is not an exaggeration. Those who go to Venice cannot fail to pass through here.

Today from the campsite by bike to the ferry and on foot through Venice.
It had rained heavily this morning and so it wasn't that crowded in Venice.

October 31, 2022,🇮🇹 Venedig

Venice is a classic and always a real highlight - simply unique 😇. I really liked conquering the lagoons from the water this time. The starting point was therefore Punta Sabbioni with sufficient parking spaces. Low season isn't bad either, although the hotspots will never be completely empty. And for the first time I was in the lagoon metropolis with …

Venice birthday shopping 💸💸💸
You hear a lot about pickpockets there, worry beforehand about purses, bags, etc.
Then you get there and forget it all...I'm not a cultural person. But the streets and squares are really something.

Crossed from Punta Sabioni and greeted with a gun salute by an Italian warship at St. Mark's Square. From there we were looking for different exhibition locations for the Biennale 2022
