St Mark's Campanile, Venice

4.6

#Observation Deck, #Architectural Building

Overlooking the city's famous lagoon, St Mark's Campanile is one of the Venice's most recognizable symbols. Originally constructed as a lighthouse, this 99 m (323 ft) tall bell tower stands alone in one corner of St. Mark's Square. The tower's simple form has a fluted brick shaft topped by a belfry housing five bells. A pyramidal spire with a golden weathervane in the form of the archangel Gabriel caps the tower. Constructed in the ninth century on ancient Roman foundations, the bell tower underwent a massive reconstruction after a sudden collapse in 1902. Once the site of Galileo's observatory, the tower now features an elevator for easy access to the top and views of the lagoon and distant Alps.

Jedinečný zážitok, výstup hore je výťahom, potom sa vám otvorí úchvatný pohľad na celú lagúnu a pulzujúci život pod vami, úplne iné pohľady more »

A unique experience, the ascent up the lift, then you open the breathtaking view of the entire lagoon and vibrant life under you, completely different views

Upload if it makes a good day, if it is a cloudy day or with fog you will not see anything, the price in my opinion is expensive €8 only up the elevator, there is no option to climb on foot. The view from the 4 cardinal points is worthwhile. There are tail.

A must in a visit to Venezia, in spite of the price. Very beautiful views not only on San Marco square and the church of the same name, but also on the bay. I There are queues to go up even before it is open, so it is recommended to visit it early in the morning. If it is in winter, it is possible to watch the sun rising on the bay.

At €8 per person, this is expensive, but then so is everything in Venice! The staff were unfriendly and when you get to the top you have to pay extra if you want to listen to the audio guide or use the binoculars. The view is good though.

If you can get past the price (€8 adult, €4 concession) and the 30-minute wait on most days, the Campanile provides absolutely stunning views of all around Venice!

The best view all over Venice! But you have also a great view from T Fondaco dei Tedeschi by DFS; there you don*t have to wait as much as in Markus Tower! But at the Markus Tower you got a little bit the atmosphere as in New Yorks administrative building, where they registred new migrants. The achitect could have used the Markus Tower to get inspired!👌👌👌 In off-season you also don*t have to wait as much as in main season of tourism. I really enjoyed it👏👏👏🔝

for 17 Euro (online booking, too expensive, it doesn't cost the price at all, normal price is 8 Euro) no explanation, unfriendly staff with ZERO English knowledge but dealing with the tourists. WASTE OF MONEY!!!
