What to expect
Start your visit by meeting your friendly host just a few steps from the famous St. Mark’s Square. Even before entering the basilica, you’ll be soaking in the beauty of Venice’s most iconic square, surrounded by stunning architecture and the buzz of local life.
Walk right past the line and into one of Venice’s most unforgettable sights. As you explore at your own pace, the audioguide brings the basilica’s golden mosaics, marble floors, and soaring domes to life with stories that make this incredible place feel even more magical. It’s no wonder they call it the “Church of Gold.”
Enjoy free access to the sacristy of one of Venice’s most iconic churches, known for its baroque architecture and stunning views of the Grand Canal. This peaceful space can be visited independently and is not covered by the audioguide.
Pinacoteca Manfrediniana
Visit this small but culturally rich art gallery inside the Diocesan Museum, just behind the Basilica. The collection includes sacred art and historical pieces from the Venetian tradition. This site is not part of the audioguide.
Torcello Basilica S.M. Assunta
As a bonus, your ticket also includes entry to this beautiful and historic church on the quiet island of Torcello. It’s not part of the main visit or the audioguide, but if you're exploring the lagoon, it’s a peaceful and rewarding stop you can enjoy on your own.
The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
