Sightseeing

Also called "The drawing room of Europe", Piazza San Marco is the undisputed symbol of Venice. After a day of walking among the beautiful and narrow "calli", coming out into the big square is like taking a breath of air and art. A walk in Piazza San Marco also deserves a break at Caffè Florian, founded in 1720. Among the oldest in the world, it was frequented by historical personalities such as Dickens, D'Annunzio, Rousseau and many others. Going around the basilica it will be possible to see, set in a corner of the outer wall, the statue of the tetrarchs: dating back to around 300 AD is a statue in red porphyry depicting four kings, brought from Constantinople to Venice during the Fourth Crusade. CURIOSITY The bell tower of San Marco is affectionately called by the Venetians "El parón de casa", or the landlord, referred to Venice.

Rialto is the oldest nucleus of Venice and part of the districts of San Marco and San Polo, known for the fish and fruit market and the bridge of the same name. A perfect place for an aperitif while sitting at one of the tables on the Grand Canal overlooking the Rialto Bridge.

Getting Around

Santa Maria della Salute (or church of the Salute or simply La Salute) was erected in the area of the Punta della Dogana, from where it stands out in the panorama of the San Marco Basin and the Grand Canal. Designed by Baldassare Longhena with attention to Palladio's models, it is one of the best expressions of Venetian Baroque architecture. Its construction represents an ex voto to the Madonna by the Venetians for the liberation from the plague that between 1630 and 1631 decimated the population, as had happened previously for the church of the Redentore. In front of the Basilica the vaporetto stop line 1
