What to expect

Join a guided tour of one of the most spectacular cathedrals in the world! With an expert and enthusiastic guide by your side, immerse yourself in the Byzantine art that makes this masterpiece a one-of-a-kind experience in Italy. Marvel at the 43,000 square feet of gold mosaics that shimmer across the walls and ceilings of the Basilica, and admire the intricate marble inlays that decorate its floors — each detail a tribute to centuries of faith, power, and artistry.Let your guide bring the stories of the Basilica to life — from biblical tales to political intrigue. With a skip-the-line ticket, you'll bypass the queue and step directly into the heart of this architectural marvel. Continue your journey at the San Marco History Gallery, where a VR headset transports you to the Piazza as it once was. See the Basilica as the Doge's private chapel, the Palace as a medieval fortress, and San Marco come alive in a breathtaking digital reconstruction.

    Ottima esperienza, con accesso immediato senza coda, guida davvero esperta, una meraviglia assolutamente da vedere. Purtroppo non è stato possibile effettuare la visita all’artigiano del vetro all’opera vicino a piazza San Marco.
