San Marco Holidays

Sitting pretty as a picture in the historic heart of venice, the famous Piazza San Marco should be included on any trip to Venice alongside gondola rides and plenty of delicious Italian food and wine. Everywhere you turn here, you're met with eye-wateringly beautiful architecture: the piazza's beautiful basilica and bell tower; the bright white Doge's Palace; the art and history filled Correr Museum; the fabulously decadent Fenice Theater; and the classical Palazzo Grassi. Top off your San Marco holidays with a visit to the world-famous Bridge of Sighs on a guided tour or from the water in a gondola. Pass beneath this sensational structure with your beloved as the bells of St. Mark's toll and - legend has it - your love will last forever.
