St Mark's Campanile

The tower collapsed in 1902 and was rebuilt in the same form, so what you see is a careful copy. A short lift ride takes you up to the belfry. From the gallery you look across the whole city, with the domes of the basilica below you, the island of San Giorgio across the basin and the lagoon beyond. The visit is short, and the queue is the main time cost.

What to look for

• The view over the Doge's Palace and the basilica domes
• San Giorgio Maggiore across the basin
• The red roofs and the lagoon
• The bells in the belfry

Opening hours

Hours not confirmed. Check the official site.

The ticket site gives two sets of hours. In the summer period the tower opens at 09:30 and closes at 21:15, and in the winter period it closes at 19:15, with last entry roughly an hour before closing. It does not state the changeover dates, so check the ticket site for your day. Hours can change with weather and events.

Tip

Go up on a clear afternoon for the best light. On foggy or hazy days the view over the lagoon is poor.
