What travelers are saying
- PeteFredericksburg, VA1,332 contributionsI did get the feeling of wealth of the Venetian Republic circa 1450. We had an outstanding tour guide who really knew some intricate details. My favorite was the main legislature hall where Tintoretto’s Paradisio can be found. We saw the Financial Hall, the Armory and judicial halls that took in complaints from the mouth of a figure on an outside wall. It was a learned experience.Written March 12, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- HighlandLass24Baltimore, MD280 contributionsWe bought timed tickets to let us in at a certain time. Some technical glitch happened with the turnstile where you scan the tickets and it wasn't working. At that point, things became utterly nonsensical, as we had our tickets printed, with our time clearly visible and they wouldn't let us in and we had to wait. Fine, but then when the turnstile was working again, a bunch of the walk ins were let in before us despite our timed tickets, so that was a bit frustrating. We went in the hot sticky summer months, so there was some haze that dimished the view, but it was still worth it. Plus, the breeze you get up there is such a nice cool off from the oppressive heat.Written February 9, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Glyn EHayling Island, UK6,484 contributionsOur 6th visit to Venezia and the first time we visit the Collection and the Cafe (see separate review).
What a delight and such a brilliant location.
On January you se the Exhibits and not the crowds.
Do visit.

I was there on a very rainy day, which worked out great because I took my time. First floor is very simple, second floor is jaw dropping. There is an admission fee to get in which I did not see listed anywhere in my research, but it was reasonable and worth it.
At the back of the second floor is a table covered in mirrors. I realized those are for tourists to use to get a better view of the ceiling without getting a sore neck!!Written January 21, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

This is the path prisoners would have taken after being found guilty and being sentenced to prison.Written July 23, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Andrea HPlymouth, UK151 contributionsA quirky staircase tucked away in aback street, you would miss it if you didn't know it was there. A short climb to the top gives a view of the rooftops of Venice, There is also a small art gallery included in the entry price.Written June 4, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Thomas VOakland, CA19,436 contributionsIt's an historically important neighborhood and a charming place to explore. We saw a little of the old Jewish Ghetto on our brief day in Venice and would have liked to spend some more time here. A place to wander and think of the past.Written June 13, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Kai CHalf Moon Bay, CA1,358 contributionsDuring the winter this area still retains the feel of an Italian city, with life going on - people shopping, gossiping, drinking aperol. Clothing drying on washlines. The gardens are unremarkable but the old fortress-arsenal buildings are picturesque.Written January 14, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Hotel A38 contributionsBrought an art history group and Sam at the church was BRILLIANT It's the perfect place to explore all the different sculptural styles with a stunning Bellini too.

- Lucian MConstanta, Romania2,644 contributionsThe Chiesa di San Zaccaria is dedicated to the saint of the same name, the father of St. John the Baptist.
The church was founded at the beginning of the ninth century to house the remains of the saint whose name it bears, given to the Doge of Venice by the Byzantine Emperor Leo V the Armenian. In the crypt of the church, several doges of Venice are sleeping the forever sleep. The original church was rebuilt in the years after 1170. As we see it today, it was rebuilt between 1458 and 1515.
The interior of the church is decorated with paintings by famous painters of which I have only heard about Giovanni Bellini, Tintoretto and Anthony van Dyck.
The crypt of the church has a peculiarity, namely that it is flooded all the time.
During the visit, a religious wedding was being prepared. If I had arrived later, I don't think I would have been able to visit the place.
The church entrance fee has been included in the Venezia Unica Card, a very convenient way to visit many tourist attractions in Venice.Written October 15, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- David0ff82Liverpool, UK1,461 contributionsI was in Venice October 2023 with partner celebrating his 40th birthday and whilst exploring the city we came across this area. After getting a water taxi in from the airport and spending our in the main part did Venice amongst the windy lanes and canals it seemed like this area was a different place all together with the road bus and trains station and traffic but my reason for reviewing is the little park/gardens we found over the way from the bus station with its little cafes it was nice to grab a drink and slice of pizza sitting in the sun. Nice to stop of at if in that area.Written September 30, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- keithmc007Wokingham, UK48 contributionsHarry's Bar is famous for its Bellini, which was invented there. Many famous people have drank there over the years. That's about as much as can be said.
The bar is small and has a drinks menu. Drinks NOT on the drinks menu are NOT available. Due to the opaque windows, you don't sit in the bar with views across Venice, the canals, or even the alleyway outside.
People go to Harry's Bar to say they've been rather than go for an evening or afternoon. People also don't go there for the food, which is fine, but it's bar-finger food.
There are many great things to do and see in Venice. If you have an hour to spare and are close by, why not pop into Harry's Bar? I don't suggest you make it a destination or choose it over many of the other great options available.Written March 17, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It is one of the few supermarkets where your eyes are drawn up to the walls and ceiling and you want to take photos! The SPAR is well stocked and very good value also.Written November 14, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
