What travelers are saying
- christy c19 contributionsWe did a self guided tour. Was able to walk and look at everything at our own pace. Very beautiful inside and out. Lots of history and stairs.Written September 7, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Dholakia2014Rajkot, India403 contributionsOne more our wishlist full filed as we entered beautiful Venice.Yes, we really enjoyed seeing Venice from the gondola and hearing about the city from our knowledgeable gondolier. This listing header says the Canal Grande, but the gondola tours are typically in the network of smaller canals, passing under bridges so low the gondolier has to bend in half to get through. It's amazing that life connections are dependent on canals! It's a new world for we earthy people who are away from water world...Written September 9, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Olivia MLondon, UK69 contributionsThis basilica is stunning, we would thoroughly recommend booking a tour to truly understand the history and bring it to life. We booked a skip the line tour via Viator, and found it very helpful, but this attraction is a must see in Venice! I would recommend getting museum and loggia (terrace) tickets too. We didnt pay to see the Pala D'oro as we felt we'd seen enough splendour!Written September 9, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- ThomasBad Aibling, Germany16 contributionsI travelled with my family, including two children aged 17-19. Keeping them motivated is a challenge for any parent. But places like this make everyone happy and especially you can take wonderful selfies for your new profile.
Furthermore, Piazza San Marco, or St Mark's Square, is a breathtaking masterpiece that encapsulates the heart of Venice, Italy. Surrounded by architectural wonders such as St Mark's Basilica and the Doge's Palace, the square exudes a vibrant atmosphere that draws visitors in. The rich history and cultural significance add depth to the experience. At the same time, the lively ambience created by street performers, cafes and shops makes it the perfect place to enjoy a gelato or espresso.
But remember, everything is costly and exclusive. If you are travelling with children, take less luggage and more water, snacks and food.Written September 9, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Gee P55 contributionsIt’s a busy bridge.
Very pretty.
I get to go to Venice every year and always go see it and take a picture.
Beyond is the giro area. Worth looking up the historyWritten August 11, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - travelbob1New Windsor, NY1,135 contributionsJust as you exit the train station turn left and walk down the narrow street, Rio Terra Lista di Spagna, where you will find shops, restaurants and many hotels and BBs. This was the perfect place to stay for access to the many vaporetto routes, the bridge into Santa Croce and beyond. Plus you don't need to cross any bridges to get to some of the accommodations with your luggage.
The neighborhood continues into a large, spacious campo ( square) and the community known as the Jewish Ghetto. The area is filled with many cafes and eateries that line the smaller canals, popular in the late afternoon and evening.
Well worth a visit with wonderful design, fewer tourists and more local residents.Written June 17, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Take advantage of the hand mirror at your disposition in order to have a better look at the ceiling without getting a neck ache... Also the grand staircase and the beautiful floor are stunning. There was some restauration at the time we went with an interesting explanation of the whole process.Written July 22, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Carlos L.Palm Desert, CA1,886 contributionsCame here as part of a walking Venice tour. . . .but we had been here numerous times. This beautiful church never ceases to amaze me. It along with the nearby building Scuola Grande di San Rocco are my favorites. The area in the heart of the San Polo district in Venice I feel is the best area in Venice.
Nevertheless the Titian "The Assumption of the Virgin or Frari Assumption, popularly known as the Assunta, leaves you awestruck: what a masterpiece. Now that it has been restored the colors are so vibrant and impart such energy/warmth to the church. As soon as you walk in you are drawn to this central located masterpiece.
Come here you will not be disappointed!
Admission was 5 euros per person.Written July 19, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

One of many important sites we saw on our day exploring.Written June 5, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Michael E4 contributionsThere is great art here and the Disney visitors across the canal miss this.
Learn the whole history of Venetian painting at L'Accademia!!!
Then visit Scuola di San Rocco (Tintoretto frescoes), Ca Rezzonico (Tiepolo), Santa Marie della Salute (Marriage at Cana by Tintoretto, Saint Mark Enthroned by Titian)
The churches of Venice are loaded with Renaissance masterpieces
Finish with Guggenheim Modern Art
Start EARLY. Take your time. Try to stay overnight.Written March 28, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

An early morning trip is the best - it’s not crowded and it’s fun to watch the vendors set up. The fish and vegetables are the real deal - we saw locals making their selections- but the spice stalls are typically for tourists. Glad we went!Written September 9, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Olivia MLondon, UK69 contributionsSome lovely pieces but deceptively large so pace yourself. Mainly religious art, lots of Veronese and some Titians.

- AnuradhaNew Delhi, India1,258 contributionsIt was built to symbolize Venice’s return to health after the great Italian plague of 17 th century that killed many Venetians. La Salute’s most eye catching figure is its crown like dome, with a statue of Mary on top which looks very beautiful at the entrance of Grand Canal.Written June 24, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Bernburgerin1Heidelberg, Germany254 contributionsThe Bridge of Sighs is beautiful from the outside, but also very nice when you visit the Doge's Palace and walk across it.
An iconic landmark not to be missed - at least from the outside.Written September 7, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
