Tourist Destinations


1 St. Mark's Basilica
Certainly Venice's best-known church, and one of the most easily recognized in the world, St. Mark's Basilica (Basilica di San Marco) was originally the Doge's private chapel, decorated with Byzantine art treasures that are part of the booty brought back by Venetian ships after the fall of Constantinople.

2 St. Mark's Square
The vast expanse of Venice's largest square is brought together and made to seem almost intimate by the elegant uniformity of its architecture on three sides. But more than its architectural grace, St. Mark's Square (Piazza San Marco) is loved as Venice's living room, the place everybody gathers, strolls, drinks coffee, stops to chat, meets friends and tour guides, or just passes through on the way to work or play. Three sides are framed in arcades, beneath which are fashionable shops and even more fashionable cafés. The open end is bookmarked by the erratic, exotic curves, swirls, mosaics, and lacy stone filigree of St. Mark's Basilica.

3 Palazzo Ducale (Doge's Palace) and Bridge of Sighs
Visitors arriving in Venice once stepped ashore under the façade of this extraordinary palace. They couldn't have failed to be impressed, both by its size and the finesse of its architecture. If they were received inside by the Doges, the impression would only strengthen as they entered through the Porta della Carta, a perfect example of Venetian Gothic at its height, and ascended the monumental Scala dei Giganti and the gold vaulted Scala d'Oro to be received in what many consider to be the palace's most beautiful chamber, Sala del Collegio.

4 Canale Grande (Grand Canal)
Sweeping through the heart of Venice in a giant reverse S curve, the Grand Canal is the principal boulevard through the city, connecting Piazza San Marco, Rialto Bridge, and the arrival points of the rail station and bridge from the mainland. Only four bridges cross its 3.8-kilometer length, but stripped-down gondolas called traghetti shuttle back and forth at several points between bridges.

5 Ponte di Rialto (Rialto Bridge) and San Polo
Once the only bridge across the Grand Canal, Rialto Bridge marks the spot of the island's first settlement, called Rivus Altus (high bank). Built in 1588, some 150 years after the collapse of a previous wooden bridge, this stone arch supports two busy streets and a double set of shops.

6 Scuola Grande di San Rocco
This impressive white marble building was built between 1515 and 1560 to house a charitable society dedicated to San Rocco. Soon after its completion, the great 16th-century Venetian artist Tintoretto won the competition to paint a central panel for the ceiling of the Sala dell'Albergo by entering the building and putting his painting in its intended place before the judging, much to the irritation of his rival artists.

7 Ca' d'Oro
The delicate marble filigree by Bartolomeo Bon seems too lace-like to be carved of stone, and you can only imagine the impression this façade must have made covered in its original paint and gold. Along with the Porta della Carta in the Palazzo Ducale, also created by Bartolomeo Bon, this is considered the most perfect example of Venetian Gothic.

My place to stay at Venice Maestro from RB N B, the place is quite comfortable and can have breakfast in the form of bread, eggs and milk and sweet tea. At breakfast I was almost given pork sausage, O God, fortunately I asked what it was. The owner is British and his wife is Chinese.
Well, this Mba Chines should be very confused, continue to be sure if you want to cook by yourself, you can, but at 10pm maximum. The person is very diligent so it's not wrong to stay at his place. Because of the hot breakfast from the inn, it saved quite a lot of money for breakfast, so I ate well at the inn before heading to the station. I walked from the inn to the Venice Maestro station, when I arrived at the station I bought a ticket at the ticket purchase machine, the train ticket price is 1.25 Euro one way to the Venice S Lucia station.
Travel time by train is not long, only 10 minutes, waiting for the train is also not long because there is a schedule on the board. Although lay and walk alone in Venice

The initial design and construction of the Napoleon Wing originated from the years when Venice was part of the Kingdom of Italy (1806-1814) where Napoleon was sovereign and his stepson, Eugene de Beauharnais, was the Viceroy.
The museum is arranged in various sections that offer interesting insights into the Art and History of Venice. The first part occupies the Napoleonic Wing itself, a nineteenth-century palace for kings and emperors; here the luxurious Neo-Classical Room houses the collection of the greatest sculptors of the day, Antonio Canova (1757-1822).
Then, someone entered the Procuratie Nuove, which was designed by architect Vincenzo Scamozzi (1552-1616) and once housed some of the most important civil authorities in the Republic of Venice. Spacious rooms now contain collections that document various aspects of Venetian History - from everyday life to public institutions, from naval achievements to local celebrations.
