What travelers are saying
- Duliby49 contributionsSome work being done both outside and inside but this is still a must-see venue. There are many interesting architectural and religious artefact features everywhere you look. We queued up for maybe 15-20 mins on prepaid tickets (not fast track) . The security staff were efficient and friendly. It’s worth spending the time to read the information panels as you go around - particularly upstairs where you’ll see the original four horses before you step out onto the roof. Brilliant views over St Marks Square and the waterWritten March 27, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- GinaLooe, UK2 contributionsTruly beautiful and amazing. Sadly went in just before they closed so didn't get to spend as long as I'd liked. Definitely worth a visit. Was also hhe only place my daughter wantd to visit on our short trip to Venice. You pay for the museum and rooftop separately so if you don't want to you don't have to go up, but really if you're there why wouldn't you.Written March 19, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Duliby49 contributionsWe visited several times over our 5 days in Venice at different times of the day and in different weathers. It feels different each time in its own way but special nonetheless.Written March 27, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Duliby49 contributionsWe went in a day when it was misty but clearing. The guy in the ticket office pointed this out so we weren’t too disappointed- we weren’t. The views were great in all directions but would have been better in a clear and sunny day.Written March 27, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Duliby49 contributionsChoose your time of day to visit as it can be crowded. Looks better from a distance as it’s a little tired up close. Be prepared to wait to get your ideal photo - everyone else is on the same mission!Written March 27, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Isabella M12 contributionsMost impressive Tintoretto paintings. It is amazing how many treasures are in Venice, The carving works on the sides are as impressive as the paintings. Take a mirror at the end of the hall to have. a better look of the ceiling.Written March 14, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Alec_TronnLondon18 contributionsThis was a friend’s recommendation and we’re glad we took it. Just take a water-bus to S. Giorgio, and the church entrance is right in front of the station. You can wander the lovely church free of charge, but at the back is the campanile (bell tower), just €8 fee to take the lift to the top and the absolute best view of Venice you could possibly wish for. Even better, on a sunny March Monday afternoon there was barely anyone there, so no queues and no bustle, perfect!
PS if you’re reading this before 18th June 2023, there are also *free* guided tours of the otherwise inaccessible Conclave Chapel including Ai Weiwei’s “untitled” George & The Dragon artwork. Tours tend to start on the hour and half hour, and we had a tour to ourselves, which was excellent.

- JulesL7 contributionsWe explored this area having visited the Academia museum and Peggy Guggenheim Museum. The area is much quieter and touristy than around St Marks Square. It has fantastic cafes and shops. Well worth visiting.Written March 12, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
