Campanile di San Marco
Piazza San Marco.
Phone: 041-522-4064
In 1902 the campanile tumbled into the piazza of San Marco. The bell
tower was, however, rebuilt and now boasts an elevator. Visitors can climb
up to the top and catch a wonderful view of the Basilica.
Piazza San Marco
Piazza San Marco was the heart of Venice during the days of the seafaring
republic. The square within Venice houses most of the city's major attractions.
St. Mark's Basilica and the Doge's Palace are located within the square.
In great part to the work of Napoleon, the square was unified architecturally,
and the Fabbrica Nuova was added, bridging the Old and New Procuratie together.
The plaza boasts a little of everything staring from palaces, Sansovino's
Library, elegant shops, and colonnades.
Lido
The Lido is one of the most popular beachfronts of Venice. Complete
with fashionable beachfront resort, deluxe hotels and the Casino Municipale,
this area receives a great number of visitors. So, while in Venice kick
off your shoes and enjoy the texture of the Lido sand.
The Grand Canal (Canal Grande)
The Great Canal is literally a great road of water. The canal winds
through the city and is filled with vaporetti, motorboats, and gondolas.
The beginnings of the canal can be seen within the Piazzetta San Marco,
and from there the canal winds its course through the city; outlined by
some of the most majestic structures.
