Gondola Ride and Golden Basilica - T35

An enchanting gondola ride along the Grand Canal and the inner canals of Venice Visit to the interior of the St. Mark’s Basilica and its priceless treasures


Part one

Glide along the Venetian canals on a gondola, and admire Venice from your unique vantage point. Venice was made to be seen from the water, and on the water the gentle, flowing movements of the gondola will make this a mesmerizing experience. Lay back and let the gondolier guide you through the magic of the city.

HIGHLIGHTS

•  From the Gondolier's Pier gondola station boarding in groups of six. You will ride along the Grand Canal and admire the famous Basilica della Salute
•  Leaving the Grand Canal you will continue along the smaller highly picturesque canals in the St. Mark’s district to the Gran Teatro la Fenice
•  Return to the Gondolier's Pier
 

Part two

The greatness of Venice has always been reflected in the richness of St. Mark’s Basilica, the perfect synthesis of Venetian art and a unique blend of Byzantine, Romanesque and Gothic elements. Five Oriental-looking domes crown the shadowy, mysterious interior gleaming with golden mosaics, coloured marbles, precious stones and pearls, and guarded by the four gilded bronze horses that stand proudly atop the central entrance. The glittering mosaics of the interior tell the story of St. Mark and episodes from the Bible. Its most famous treasure stands behind the altar in the sanctuary - the Pala d’Oro, a golden altar screen encrusted with jewels.

HIGHLIGHTS

•    Enter St. Mark’s Basilica  through the St. Peter’s Door – no waiting lines!
•    Visit the Basilica interior and hear a detailed description of the gold mosaics
•    Admire the gem-encrusted Pala d’Oro
