Venice is one of the most fascinating and romantic cities in the world, rich in history and also mysteries. It is not a surprise that there are innumerable attractions and monuments to visit in this city, so here are some suggestions of the unmissable things that you should explore during your holiday.
Firstly, we have to mention the majestic St. Mark’s Square, where the major points of interest are located. St. Mark’s Basilica is the jewel of this place: it is a Byzantine cathedral dedicated to Saint Mark the Evangelist with marvellous golden mosaics. Attached to the cathedral there is the Doge’s Palace. It is a Gothic palace that was the residence of the supreme authority of the Republic during the past centuries. And how not to mention the two towers: St. Mark’s Clocktower and St. Mark’s Bell Tower, two important symbols of the city that everyone in the world knows.
If you have more time, you can’t miss a ride on a typical gondola to discover the beauties of Venice from a different point of view. And why not go on an adventure exploring the hidden treasures of the city?
