  • San Marco Basilica's history, from stolen relics to centuries of legacies, is one gripping tale. Consider a guided tour for an insightful visit, where you can spend more time at the site and learn fascinating stories and lesser-known secrets of this sensational monument from the experts.

  • Be aware that there are additional fees for specific areas within the basilica, such as the extra €5 for the Pala d’Oro visit, €3 for the treasury, and an additional €10 for the Campanile. The Museum access itself is priced at €7, depending on whether it includes terrace access. Understanding these charges beforehand can help you budget accordingly and decide which areas you want to explore. Also, access is free for children under 6 years.

  • The Campanile tower at St. Mark's Square is one of Venice's beloved and most sold-out highlights, owing to its mesmerizing views. Don't let the climb deter you, there's an elevator for your convenience. The extra Euros seems worth it for this unique experience.

Aim to visit during this time for optimal experience, if you're in it for the interiors.

  • The Bell Tower opens every day from 9.30am to 9.15pm (last admission: 8.45pm). In adverse weather conditions such as fog, strong wind, intense cold, the Bell Tower might be closed.
