St. Mark's Basilica Overview

  • The interior of the basilica is a stunning example of Byzantine art and architecture, with its shimmering mosaics, golden altars, and intricate marble carvings

  • Don’t miss the 24-carat gold leaf mosaics that cover more than 4,000 m2 – including mosaic designs from Titian and Tintoretto

  • Discover the Pala d’Oro, or the ‘Golden Altarpiece,’ a Gothic work replete with 3,000 precious stones and delicate enamel plates

The tour team on the ground are amazing, great organization. Only one Headsup: the tour is at 11:00, not at 10:45! So arrive at 10:45, get your headset and tickets and leave at 11:00 sharp!

I was great not having to wait in line in the heat and crowds. The tickets worked exactly as promised. The regular line was at least 1-2 hours long.
