Rise above Piazza San Marco on the St Mark's Campanile. Ride the lift to the belfry and look out over rooftops, canals, and the lagoon from Venice's highest viewpoint.
Full description
St Mark's Campanile is the bell tower of St Mark's Basilica and the tallest structure in Venice, topped by a golden angel. A lift carries visitors quickly to the belfry, where open arches frame panoramic views across the canals, red rooftops, the lagoon, and the islands beyond.
The tower stands in Piazza San Marco, so it combines easily with a visit to the square and neighbouring sights. Allow around forty-five minutes, including time in the queue and at the top.
Clear days give the longest sightlines, and the tower stays open into the evening.
