Basilica
Sights & Landmarks
Basilica di Santa Maria Assunta is a historic site, originally built in 313AD and featuring the largest floor mosaic in Western Christianity. The complex includes the Crypt of Excavations with geometric mosaics and terracotta flooring from an earlier stage, as well as the Fresco Crypt near the altar, housing faded yet beautiful 12th-century frescoes.
Highlight of the small town. This magnificent basilica, originally founded in the 4th century, is a masterpiece of early Christian architecture. The highlight is the stunning mosaic floor, one of the largest and most intricate in the world, depicting biblical scenes and early Christian symbols. The basilica’s long history, including its role as a major religious center in the Roman Empire, adds to its significance.you should definitely download the audio guide then you can really appreciate the the stories of the mosaics.

A cradle of our faith for my country. From here the misionary work went out to the east. Glorious holly place, with a lot of history, beautiful mosaics and old architecture. Cript is amazing with lot of relics.
Rok S — Google review
One of the most important church seats in this part of Italy, also for Slovenia, Austria and Croatia. Basilica is build on the 1. century Roman mosaics, that were covered in 4. century by other level of mosaics. On top of those two layers of mosaics the present church was built. The Bell tower dated from 11. century. The three naval church has leather patriarchal seat. The crypt is full of frescos from life of Jesus and the life of saint Hermagoras and saint Fortunatus. You can admire early and fine early Christian mosaics. I liked the most the one with a turtle and the big one that represents sea with boats and sailers.

The Basilica is a beautiful piece of architecture. Majestic with a magnificent mosaic floor and ornate wooden roof. Also fantastic is the visit to the archaeological dig area below the Basilica where it is possible to see the early roman mosaic dating back to the first century a.d. The area surrounding the Basilica is also very interesting and kept in order.

Moritz L — Google review
Italy is a country of historical beauties and this Cattedrale is undoubtedly one of them. As soon as one enters the building is immediately overwhelmed by history: the view of the soffit and of the floors, covered by mosaics, is truly breathtaking. When admiring this church you can “touch” the architectural, engineering and artistic ability of our ancestors: these treasures have withstood over a millennium (even more, when considering the original layers dating from B.C.). The building basement is a surprise of mosaics and there it’s really astonishing how, through small tiles, those artists were able to depict amazing subjects, such as animals, faces and various objects. Just a small suggestion: the descriptions of the mosaics made on the handrails, has it is done, is not a very clever solutions, since most of the writings have gone.

Points of Interest & Landmarks
The Campanile della Basilica di Aquileia is a remarkable structure with fascinating excavations underneath its foundations, offering a unique opportunity to explore several meters below the massive stone structure. The site boasts magnificent mosaic flooring, including a beautiful depiction of the rooster against the tortoise symbolizing good versus evil. While the bell tower offers a breathtaking view extending to the Grado lagoon and ancient city remains, it's unfortunate that it's not included in the ticket price.
Beautiful clock tower in the middle. You can walk around it but I was not allowed inside to climb to the top.

Nice bell tower. Cannot enter inside though
Anthony C — Google review
(Translated by Google) The tower was closed in March 2025 for various work, but it would be very interesting in several ways: 1) It offers a great view over Aquileia and 2) You can get to the excavations in the basement via the basilica (charged entry fee) and from below you can basically see the stone base on which the campanile was built. Unique! (Original) Der Turm war zwar in 03/2025 wegen diverser Arbeiten geschlossen, wäre aber in mehrfacher Hinsicht sehr interessant: 1) Er bietet eine tolle Aussicht über Aquileia und 2) Kann man über die Basilika (kostenpflichtiger Eintritt) zu den Ausgrabungen im Untergeschoß gelangen und sieht von unten quasi den Steinsockel, auf dem der Campanile errichtet wurde. Einzigartig!

(Translated by Google) Bell tower of the Basilica of Aquileia of great historical importance, 73 meters high, imposing and visible from different directions dating back to 1031 completely built in Romanesque style (Original) Campanile della Basilica di Aquileia di grande rilevanza storica, alto 73 metri, imponente e visibile da diverse direzioni risalente al 1031 completamente costruito in stile romanico
Kiara P — Google review
(Translated by Google) With its seventy-three meters high, the bell tower of the basilica of Aquileia stands out massively over the Friulian plain. Built by the patriarch Poppone probably in conjunction with the basilica or immediately after, in any case before his death in 1042, the bell tower had exploited the quarries of building material represented by the ancient buildings in ruins, in particular the amphitheatre. It originally consisted of a simple tower with a belfry and a low four-pitched roof. Over time, the reinforcement steps were added to the base (14th century) and, in the first half of the 16th century, under the patriarchs of the Venetian Grimani family, the bell tower was rebuilt. Finally, the octagonal lantern was built with the conical roof above, which still today completes the thousand-year-old structure of the bell tower. In 1962, the excavation carried out inside the bell tower brought to light an interesting stratigraphic sequence from the medieval and modern era, relating to the life phase of the tower. Furthermore, a further portion of the mosaic floor that decorated the north hall of the Theodorian cult complex (313-320 AD) was brought to light. (Original) Con i suoi settantatrè metri di altezza, il campanile della basilica di Aquileia svetta massiccio sulla pianura friulana. Costruito dal patriarca Poppone probabilmente in concomitanza con la basilica o subito dopo, comunque prima della sua morte avvenuta nel 1042, il campanile aveva sfruttato le cave di materiale edilizio rappresentate dagli antichi edifici in rovina, in particolare dall’anfiteatro. In origine era costituito da una semplice torre con cella campanaria e basso tetto a quattro falde. Nel corso del tempo, fu aggiunta la gradinata di rinforzo alla base (XIV secolo) e, nella prima metà del Cinquecento, sotto i patriarchi della famiglia veneziana dei Grimani, fu rifatta la cella campanaria. Infine, venne costruita la lanterna di forma ottagonale con la copertura conica soprastante, che ancor oggi completa la millenaria struttura del campanile. Nel 1962, lo scavo effettuato all’interno del campanile portò alla luce un interessante sequenza stratigrafica di epoca medievale e moderna, relativa alla fase di vita della torre. Fu messa in luce, inoltre, un’ulteriore porzione del pavimento musivo che decorava l’aula nord del complesso di culto teodoriano (313-320 d.C.).

(Translated by Google) I visited the foundations of the bell tower which rest on the foundations of the ancient church from which magnificent mosaics emerge including the beautiful one of the rooster against the tortoise... good against evil..... I didn't climb the bell tower but they tell me that the view is wonderful and extends all around until you can see the Grado lagoon and all the remains that have so far been discovered of the ancient city of Aquileia. (Original) Ho visitato le fondamenta del campanile che poggiano su sulle fondamenta dell'antica chiesa da cui emergono magnifici mosaici tra cui quello bellissimo del gallo contro la tartaruga... il bene contro il male..... Non sono salita sul campanile ma mi dicono che la vista è meravigliosa e spazia tutto intorno fino a poter vedere la laguna di Grado e tutti i resti che sono stati finora scoperti dell'antica città di Aquileia.

(Translated by Google) If you come to Grado, a boat trip to the island of Barbana is a must. On the first Sunday of July, a procession takes place with flag-flagged boats, starting first with the "Battella" carrying the Madonna of the angels, kept in the basilica of Grado up to the island of Barbana, followed by all the rest of the boats with the faithful, a very evocative celebration. (Original) Se si viene a Grado una gita in barca all'isola di Barbana è d'obbligo.

Located at the Cassis Faraone Villa, it boasts an extensive collection of ancient Roman artifacts including statues, jewelry, coins, and household furnishings. The museum's expert presentation offers a unique glimpse into classical life through archaeological finds and writings.
Really enjoyed my visit. This museum, established in the 19th century, houses an impressive collection of artifacts from the ancient Roman city of Aquileia. The exhibits include beautifully preserved mosaics, sculptures, and everyday objects that offer a deep insight into Roman life and culture. The museum's layout and informative displays make the history of Aquileia come alive. Staff was nice and let me put my stuff in storage.

A true hidden gem of a museum—what a delightful discovery! I didn’t anticipate much given its small-town setting, but it far exceeded my expectations. For anyone who appreciates history and art, this is an absolute must-visit: bright, thoughtfully curated, and filled with remarkable artifacts. Just across the road, the Basilica is equally impressive, along with the First World War cemetery honoring Italian servicemen

Aquileia was after Rome the main city of the Roman empire, so there is much to see and in very good condition!

An underrated and often overlooked site, we were surprised to find hardly any other tourists during our visit. At first, we thought there wouldn’t be much to see and that we’d walk through quickly, but we ended up spending 2–3 hours exploring. The place is full of fascinating monuments and artefacts, offering plenty to discover. Highly recommended for anyone interested in diving deeper into the treasures of the Roman era. There are also many English information boards, which makes it enjoyable and accessible for international visitors.

Great presentation of the life, customs, and luxury of the ancient city of Aquileia. One can learn a good bit about the city through an interesting chronology. The exhibition leads you to discover the Austrian origins of the museum (1882) and its first acquisition as part of the Italian state (1915), and is then divided into sections: public sculpture, domestic luxury (wonderful mosaics and ancient glass!), trade and crafts, coins and jewels. The collection of tomb inscriptions, housed in the garden and being re-ordered now, is impressive. Great conclusion for a day trip in Aquileia!
GLoi — Google review
Relatively compact, but still reasonably stacked museum that is poised to give one a multilayer insight into life in Roman times, particularly 2nd century BCE to 3rd, CE. Higher society art, as well as more daily objects are well-presented, and trade links covered through respective items. 2-3 hours at leisurely pace should cover everything - don't forget the 'accessible storage' area in the back, where more nuanced and less 'thematic' course may be traced.
Dan M — Google review
Great museum that was open later than we expected (7pm). We visited on a Saturday (25 March 2023) around 430pm. We spent about 1.5 hrs but could have spent 2-3h reading more signs. 3 floors inside + outdoor area -- unfortunately the outdoor area is under renovation so you can't tour the whole thing but you can still enjoy some of it. Signs in Italian and English that gave great insight. A small gift shop of mostly books but a few other treasures. Loved learning about the city and seeing so many Roman artifacts. It'll never get old seeing back into history & daily lives like this!

Basilica
Sights & Landmarks
The Basilica of Santa Eufemia, located in the historical town of Grado, is an ancient Catholic church renowned for its ornate art. This beautiful example of Byzantine architecture dates back to the 6th century and houses valuable artworks such as mosaics, frescoes, and altarpieces. Adjacent to the Basilica is the Santa Maria delle Grazie church, both featuring impressive mosaics and frescoes.
Beautiful church, open during the day on weekdays and weekends (free admission).
Gábor B — Google review
"A visit to the basilica is an absolute must when you are in the city. Its rich history, dating back to the [e.g., 12th century], offers a profound glimpse into the region's past. The view of the basilica itself is truly impressive; its [e.g., soaring Gothic architecture/grand Baroque facade] dominates the cityscape and is breathtaking from every angle. Inside, you'll be captivated by the shimmering, intricate mosaics that adorn the entire floor, depicting [e.g., stunning biblical narratives/complex geometric patterns]. Furthermore, the collection of beautifully carved statues of saints inside adds to the profound spiritual atmosphere of the church. Allow yourself at least an hour to fully immerse yourself in its beauty and history."
Damir — Google review
I was impressed by this Basilica. By first look it doesn't looks so important and noble, but than you discover, that it has great mosaics on the whole tloris. That there are no frescoes, but you can still sees remainings of its frescoes on the walls. That there is an amazing octagonal baptisterium separated from church building. There is also a free museum with antique marble stone collection. The basilica has also treasure with in the vault. There is also famous golden altar. But at the end you can feel small and just sit down on the bench and pray with gratitude to God.

Ancient church in the heart of "Old Grado". The whole area is extremely worthy of a tour. There is a "labirinth" of narrow alleys and streets that open - almost suddenly - in small squares ("Calli"). Often there are restaurants, almost hidden but valuable.

Came here on a Saturday around 1400hrs. Its still off season so there was not a lot of people. Very friendly staff and the food was very good! The prices were also good and matches the portion size. Will definitely come back here again!

Visited this restaurant with friends in August. Food was very good, however wait staff awful. It should not matter how busy a restaurant is wait staff should be courteous and professional. Also when you have booked a reservation you should be seated within a reasonable time from your reservation.

I had no reservation on a Thursday evening, but gave it a try, asking for a table for one. The waitress said they had nothing available, which is alright. But they could have asked whether I can return in one hour or two, or maybe I wanted a reservation for the next day. But why the effort for one customer?

Amusement park
Water & Amusement Parks
Parco Junior in Lignano Sabbiadoro, Italy is a popular amusement park offering an enjoyable experience for both kids and adults. Situated in the city center, it features a range of thrilling rides, games, and entertainment options. Visitors can purchase tokens for the attractions or opt for a day pass to make the most of their visit. The park also includes a 4D cinema with various short films, making it a great place to spend time with children.
The restaurant staffs at the park we visited were exceptional! They were incredibly friendly and attentive throughout our meal. I particularly enjoyed the cheeseburger. The burgers are beautifully cooked, and you can see the brilliant, coarse ground meat. The buns are sturdy and well proportioned, glossy and sweetened. The restaurant had a great atmosphere, and I appreciated the attention to detail in the decor. The family park is a fantastic destination for families to spend quality time together.The tickets are cheap and affordable .

Very nice kids park with many different attractions for different ages. Entry is free but each attraction costs at least one coin and one coin is at least 1-3 euros, depending on how many you buy at once. You can also buy a whole day ticket but it is also expensive for the whole family. One attraction is around 3-5 minutes long. But all looked nice, but the octopus was really dirty
Patrik P — Google review
I recently visited Parco Junior with my daughter—actually, we went twice! We rode every ride and played every single game they had to offer. It was such a fun experience. The park itself is clean, cozy, and beautifully maintained, with convenient bathrooms and all the essentials you’d hope for. We had a truly wonderful time together and made some great memories. That said, I do wish they offered more games and attractions. A few of them were closed during our visits, which was a little disappointing. Maybe it’s because the season is winding down—it was September after all. Still, having more rides and open venues would have made the experience even better. Overall, Parco Jr. is a charming little park that gave us a delightful day out. We had so much fun and truly enjoyed ourselves. I highly recommend it for families, and I hope to see even more activities available next season!
Inkahustler — Google review
Great value for money, I'd recommend it rather for smaller kids (3-7) since the rides are not very intense. Do not buy coins buy the card for the whole day and ride anything you want so many times you want. No entry fee, opened from 10:30 am till 10 pm. Also we didn't have to wait at all

Great day trip event we were there already few times and it’s like a must have every time we visit Italy. Several attractions can be used and everything looks save and sound on it. Restaurant is on a good pricing and not to expensive. Whatever they do in the burger it’s very delicious. We never saw the animation show, but we saw the participants train their skills in the park walking thru the crowd and I think it’s also good for the little ones.

The park is really great for younger kids. All the machines are made so that younger kids can also ride them so they were perfect for our 2 and 4 year old kids. The parking is also free if you validate your card at the ticket desk .
Niko A — Google review
Great place for our 6-year-old son for about 2 hours. We bought 13 coins for €26. One attraction is 1 coin. Our son tried all the attractions alone. 1 negative point: the parking area was full although there were few people in the Park (11:30-1:30). Clearly it is allowed for anyone to leave their car in their own parking lot, the attendant does not care. Also there is a height limit, a car with roof box cannot go in (the area is not covered, so we did not understand why there is such a limitation).

Nestled between Bibione and Lignano, Parco Zoo Punta Verde is a delightful escape for families and animal enthusiasts alike. Spanning an impressive 100,000 square meters, this zoo showcases over 200 species from around the globe in thoughtfully designed habitats that reflect their natural environments. Visitors can wander through themed areas like Africa and Australia while enjoying the lush botanical collections that highlight local flora.
This zoo impressed me so, so much. There are a wide variety of animals to see with information posted about each one. The animals are well taken care of. I loved being able to feed the goats for €0.50. They have animal stamps posted up throughout the zoo as well. The gift shop was cute and I loved the bags they had for sale. Overall, this was an incredible experience and I can’t wait to come back.
Kaeli W — Google review
This zoo is a great place to spend the day and offers a wide variety of animals to see, including capybaras, giraffes, tigers, pumas, and lions. The enclosures are nicely designed, and it’s clear that the animals are well cared for. The layout is easy to follow, so walking around is simple and enjoyable. One of the nice touches is the small bar where you can grab a cold drink or a snack like a sandwich perfect if you need a break. You can also bring your own food and enjoy it at one of the picnic tables, which is really convenient. Overall, it’s a fun and relaxing place to visit, whether you're going with friends, family, or just looking to enjoy a few hours surrounded by animals and nature. Highly recommended if you're looking for a well-kept zoo with a good atmosphere.

Very clean, beautiful zoo. We were in the park for 5 hours. The only downside is no free water fountains (or at least not that we're aware), we paid 80 cent for a liter at a refill station. Other than that animals were out and about and we saw 90% of them very clearly, even the famous snow leopard.

Well organised park,easy to get around,clean. It's accessible also for strollers and for people in wheelchair. It was thought through. Lots of trees that offer shade and 2 pretty big playgrounds for kids. Animals are well taken care of. The bathrooms are all clean, changing table for babies is also available. The parking is free 100m from the entrance. We enjoyed our day,it was during the week so we were almost alone. The only negative thing is the entrance fee. I believe it really is too expensive. We will come back because it's a great experience and well spent day..

The beach and water are clean, the water is the perfect temperature, I found many shells and it's very beautiful.You are not allowed to smoke or bring pets on the beach, which I think is ok, because it is always clean. You have designated smoking areas and restaurants nearby.

Madonna dell'Angelo is a charming chapel and revered destination for pilgrims, constructed back in 1751 as a tribute to the Virgin Mary. Nestled by the beach, it stands out magnificently as an iconic landmark of Caorle. This serene location offers a peaceful ambiance and is impeccably clean. The town center is easily accessible on foot within minutes which makes it ideal for a quick visit.

Took some time here for praying in the morning during our 1 day visit. The church is currently being renovated, but only the external walls and the roof. You can still enter to it and enjoy the beautiful inside, you can also support and donate the renovation progress also in some hotels and inside the church as well. Many of the visitors are coming in the morning period before they are going to enjoy the day here.

On the beautiful promenade and next to the public beach, is this little but interesting and unique church. The position of the church is very impressive. It seems that it is drawn between the beach and the sea, with an imposing cliff that protects it from storms. We have visited it many times and each time it delights us with its uniqueness and beautiful energy. The sanctuary of the Madonna dell'Angelo is dedicated to the Madonna and to St. Michael the archangel, which proudly stands on the shore of the Adriatic Sea, founded around the ninth century and rebuilt in its current form in 1751. Bishop Pietro Rusca, in his report to the Holy See from 1664, states that this church is older than the cathedral itself. The first construction of the church of the Angel is to be attributed to the first transmigrations of the Concordians towards the coastal territories, following the barbarian invasions of the inland territories. This makes the sanctuary the first religious building constructed in the city founded by the Romans, according to a statement from Giovanni Musolino (historical). This first sacred building was dedicated to the Archangel San Michele, recognized as the protector of the city, as can be read in the tombstones affixed to today's sanctuary and in numerous documents from the pastoral visits of the bishops. Popular tradition, told by Musolino, has it that in ancient times some fishermen found the simulacrum of the Holy Virgin miraculously floating on the sea on a block of marble. Once the statue was brought ashore with their fishing nets, the citizens gathered in the nearby port of the Angel, and decided to place a statue of the Holy Virgin in this church. From there she got the name Madonna dell'Angelo.

Duomo di Santo Stefano Protomartire

Mentioned on 
4 lists 
Catholic church
Sights & Landmarks
The Duomo di Santo Stefano Protomartire, also known as the Cathedral of Caorle, is a significant historical monument in the heart of Caorle's historic center. Originally built in 1038 on the remains of an early Christian basilica, it reflects Byzantine-Ravenna influences and stands as a reminder of the town's tumultuous history. The cathedral hosts various cultural events throughout the year, including musical concerts and jazz festivals.
The Cathedral of Santo Stefano is the oldest monument in Caorle. It dominates in Piazza Vescovado, in the heart of the historic center. The structure visible today was erected in 1038 on the ruins of a pre-existing early Christian basilica of the seventh century, from which it takes some Byzantine-Ravenna details, later, due to the barbarian invasions that raged in nearby Concordia, Caorle became a bishopric until 1807. During this period, the numerous bishops left various testimonies of their work, from coats of arms to paintings and frescoes, but also sculptures in memory of particular events and even tombs that some of them wanted inside the cathedral. The facade takes up the classical canons of the Romanesque style. The large central door is surmounted by two rose windows and guarded by two Byzantine bas-reliefs from the 12th century, which portray Sant'Agatonico, on the left, and San Teodoro, on the right. Inside the cathedral the fusion of the Romanesque and Byzantine-Ravenna architectural styles can be recognized. Among various 14th century frescoes, large paintings, splendid sculptures and ancient relics, the naves are divided by rows of imposing columns and magnificent pillars that support wide arches. It is impossible not to notice the large fifteenth-century crucifix, suspended above the large central apse and illuminated by beautiful Byzantine-style lamps, it is equally difficult not to be captivated by the beauty of the Pala d'Oro displayed above the main altar. The right aisle also houses the most precious canvas: "The Last Supper" by Gregorio Lazzarini, master of Tiepolo, instead, in the left aisle, near the small apse, there is the painting of the "Saving of Peter" which, according to some historians, is attributed to the hands of Titian. Next to the Cathedral is an extremely beautiful and unusual bell tower, which complements the historical richness of the Cathedral with its significance.

Aquafollie is a renowned water park in Caorle, Italy, offering a refreshing and thrilling escape for visitors of all ages. The park features an extensive area with various swimming pools, including Olympic and semi-Olympic pools, as well as an impressive pirate island with a galleon. With its long slides and other water attractions, Aquafollie promises endless hours of fun and entertainment for families. Additionally, the park offers food options and workout programs to cater to different preferences.
Waterslides ideal for smaller children, they are not dangerous, except the U-shape freefall, where littles can scratch their back easily due heavy G-force on the turn press them down. Food, smoothie, umbrella and sunbeds with safe for rent available. Hourly wave pool. Staff is very kind.
Attila B — Google review
We went 1 week ago on August with three children. My children give 5 stars for the slides and the wobbly jumping water cushion, which is fantastic. We paid 75 Euros to get us all in. Deck chairs will cost you an additional 9 euros. Also the food prices are quite high. Check out my photographs of the menu. The queues were not very long due to the fact that the weather wasn't particularly good. I didn't like the facilities. The lawn was dirty and next to a huge wall (from the Luna park next door). The ice cream price was reasonable. The cheapest 1 euro and the most expensive 2.50. All in all the kids were happy but I won't be going again as it is far too expensive for what they offer. The site is quite small and the wave machine was on only 3 times in the 6 hours we spent there accompanied by loud music...

We visited it recently (for a second time) and we really enjoyed out time there. It is not super big, but good one. The staff is very kind and helpful. As Im a bit oversized (tall + heavy) I had an little accident (flip upside down) with my +1 in the Vortex slide. Before we reach the end of the Vortex slide there was a lifeguard waiting for us to check if we are OK. It make you feel safe. Food was unexpectedly good - beyond average (go for burgers or tortilla). Prices are affordable even for umbrella or for locker. We were lucky and the place was not overcrowded. So the longest time in line was just few minutes.
Jiří K — Google review
Very compact, but in a good way, All the slides are close to each other, no wasted time with walking between them. The waiting times were OK, not zero, but definitely acceptable. There is plenty of shade to put your blanket on for free and for a price of 12€ you can purchase two sun beds and a shade with security locker. Food is fast food, but common for such a location. And there is also a old school small arcade games area. Definitely buy tickets on line, its cheaper.

Tomáš B — Google review
It's okay and fun but pretty small compared to other aquaparks we've been to. Especially given the price, 6 slides is a tad on the low side. Worst is for kids age 5-8, the kiddy slides are too small for them but they aren't allowed on the bigger ones yet except for the lost river (which goes pretty bumpy fast). In summer it gets really hot so wear water shoes of some sort. Lockers are €5 or €7 but you can also get sunbeds with cover and a built-in locker for €12, so if you plan on staying a bit longer than a couple hours that might be worth it.
E.T. T — Google review
Really nice place! For my family (13 y.old son) it was a bit boring after 2 hours of endless sliding) that's why my piece of advice for skilled ones: Tarif from 14:00-18:00 will be more than enough. Tasty Snacks, drinks and dessert, but not cheap. Aber geht) Viel Spaß!

Summer 2025. Went with 2 kids 8 and 11 years old. They had a great time. Park has fun to offer for kids in MOST SIZES, however, i am also a kid. But if you weigh more than 100kg you are barred from trying 3 of the 10 water slides. This made me a bit sad. I made do without and the kids had fun. We went on weekday, at parkopening till 17.00. At no point was there any need to wait in line for anything. Park is very clean, toilets and bathing facilities are awesome and clean. Lockbox at all the umbrellas and deckchairs. Great wavepool. Clean water. WOULD GO BACK ANOTHER TIME. Price was 115 entrance 2 adults 2 kids 12 i think for 2 deckchairs and shade. Well done.

(Translated by Google) The Sanctuary ⛪ of the Madonna dei Miracoli was founded 2 years after the apparition of the Madonna on 9 March 1510 to Giovanni Cigana, an elderly 79-year-old farmer from Mottense. At the entrance there is a small shrine in the exact place of the apparition. It is a place that transmits peace and serenity, in an increasingly frenetic world based on consumerism it represents an oasis where you can meditate and pray 🙏 in tranquility, it is frequented by both believers and non-believers. The Sanctuary is looked after by a small community of around thirty Franciscan friars. The crypt of the Madonna dei Miracoli is worth visiting for its strong evocative value, where you can stop for a prayer. The internal cloister with garden is very beautiful and peaceful. Ample parking 🅿️. (Original) Il Santuario ⛪ della Madonna dei Miracoli venne fondato 2 anni dopo all'apparizione della Madonna avvenuta il 9 marzo 1510 a Giovanni Cigana, un anziano contadino mottense di 79 anni.

E' un luogo che trasmette pace e serenità, in un mondo sempre più frenetico e basato sul consumismo rappresenta un'oasi dove poter meditare e pregare 🙏 in tranquillità, è frequentato sia da credenti che non. Il Santuario è custodito da una piccola comunità di una trentina di frati francescani.

All'interno della chiesa, il luogo dell'apparizione della Madonna adibito a spazio per la preghiera, con accanto un'altra stanza colma di racconti ed esperienze di miracoli ricevuti....commovente leggere le testimonianze. Al termine, un'altra stanza, solo per le confessioni.

Aquarium
SEA LIFE Lido di Jesolo is a delightful destination for families looking to explore the wonders of marine life. Nestled in a vibrant tourist town near Venice, this modern aquarium features an array of fascinating sea creatures and interactive exhibits that are sure to captivate visitors of all ages. While it may be smaller than some other aquariums, its charm lies in the intimate experience it offers. Families can enjoy play areas and group packages, making it an ideal spot for kids to learn while having fun.
Great for visiting with family. But don't take trolley/pushchair, you will have to leave it outside unattended. Also, another lifehack, buy tickets from bus station, thy are cheaper there.

Nice place. beautiful aquarium,but small and small fishes. Good for kids. After pay you can go away and return back in one day. Free parking in front of sea life and underground.
Milan P — Google review
First problem was parking as it was after the rain and the shopping place was overcrowded. Took about 30 minutes. Se spend another 30 mins in queue cause you need to print online tickets. On site, they provide family tickets which you cannot buy online. The place inside is nice, but not with tons of people so you cannot even move. Add another star if you are here (almost) alone.
Štěpán C — Google review
I do not really recommend the aquarium for an adult couple. In my opinion it isn't worth the money because it is quite small and you will be at the end after 20 minutes if you don't sit down and take some time to watch the fishes or read the boards. The space for the audience during the feeding show is not big enough. Anyway you get some interesting information and with kids you can probably spent a great time in here.

Good place to see with kids. Not very big, so could be cheaper. Our kids enjoyed the visit a lot, especially the quiz.

Really nice place to spend an hour or two. There’s a good variety of fish and a nice atmosphere. The staff were very friendly and I even saw some of them explaining different exhibits to other visitors. It has free parking if you’re traveling by car but it’s also conveniently located if you’re staying in the area. Everyone really enjoyed our time there. The main drawback was not being able to use a stroller inside. I understand why but it’s a bit of an inconvenience for families. They offered us a sling but my daughter was just over the weight limit. Just something to keep in mind for families with young children. It’s also a bit on the pricey side (unless you find a deal online) when you compare it to other Sealife aquariums (or other aquariums for that matter) for what’s there. However, it’s kinda to be expected and I wasn’t disappointed on our visit.

The Wheel of Venice - Ruota Panoramica offers reasonably priced tickets for both adults and children, with no long waiting times. Visitors can enjoy multiple rotations, providing good value for the experience. During the daytime, there is a pleasant view of the city, beach, and sea without much wait time. At night, the ride offers a beautiful view and creates a great atmosphere.
It´s worth the price. Adults 12e, kids under 12yo 10e. Ride long about 3x turns

One of the biggest landmarks of Lido di Jesolo for ages: 60 m high, friendly owner/manager, 10 min ride or 3 full circles ... You can leave the kids stoller at the bottom, so good for families with infants as well ... There was zero waiting time, quite a large capacity ... Safety: seems very well mainitained, enclosed cabin: thus zero chance of hazard ... Well worth the time&money!!!!

It's a fun thing to do. I think it's reasonable priced for being a tourist attraction. It's 12€ (Adults) for 3 go-arounds. Children under 2 are free. 2 and up are 10€.

Reasonably priced (€10 adults €8 children). Didn't keep us waiting to fill up with customers. Went round 4 times which was good value. I'm led to believe the views were great too but my eyes were either closed or I was staring at the floor as I hate heights lol.

Leswan R — Google review
This wheel is not that great, you get pretty high up but the pod you sit in is too safe, everything is closed up and sealed. When i go to experience like this i want to feel some adrenaline and have a feeling that i’m not 100% safe, which this wheel lacks a lot. Jesolo as a city is also not that pretty so the view won’t be that extraordinary, it might be during the day (i was there during the night). In conclusion, it is a nice chill ride 10 minutes for 10€ adult/ 8€ children. Perfect for people who are scared of hights.

Aquarium
Tropicarium Park is a vibrant animal park featuring themed exhibits suitable for children. The zoological and geological garden recreates various biomes, housing diverse species like aquatic turtles, geckos, amphibians, and penguins. The 'Predators' section showcases fierce creatures such as sharks, alligators, and Nile crocodiles. Located in Jesolo, about 40 km from Venice, the park offers three distinct areas to explore: Aquarium, Tropicarium, and Predators.
Definitely worth the stop! There is SO much to see here and do here. This is the perfect stop for anyone with littles. I absolutely loved seeing the penguins and the sharks. They offer gift items at the front, as well as coins throughout the animal exhibit. This is a great place to come to escape the heat and humidity.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A very well-designed and well-maintained place! 😊 You can explore three different halls along a guided path, so you won’t miss anything. I visited in August on a weekday morning, and luckily it wasn’t crowded – perfect for a family outing with children. The animals include sharks, turtles, exotic reptiles, and colorful tropical fish. Each hall has interactive games and eye-catching, easy-to-understand educational boards that help you learn more about the natural world. Fun fact: a shark’s skin is actually covered with tiny, tooth-like scales, which help them swim faster by reducing water resistance. 🦈 One of the highlights is that you don’t just get to see the animals, but also learn about them – for example, why a turtle can stay underwater for hours (thanks to their slow metabolism and unique ways of absorbing oxygen). Overall, it’s an enjoyable, visually impressive, and educational program – great for visiting with family or friends.
Rita M — Google review
The Tropicarium is a great place to visit with children. They can see many exotic fish, turtles, snakes, and even sharks in the large aquariums. Kids love watching the animals up close. It’s educational and fun at the same time, with lots of interesting facts everywhere. I only missed having a buffet or café inside for a short break. Overall, it’s perfect for a family day out.

Spent our last weekend at this aquarium & interactive science museum (across the road) we had a wonderful experience seeing all the weird & wonderful creatures. Split into 3 beautifully designed & very clean areas of tropicarium/aquarium/predators. Educational in a fun way. A great place to bring children. We went at a quiet time so we're able to enjoy every moment at our own leisure. Thoroughly enjoyed the experience & will definitely return again. 👍
Sonia — Google review
We loved this visit. There are actually three places to visit here: Aquarium, Tropicarium and Predators. And what was great is that you don't have to do all in the same day; I think you have 30 days to use the tickets. So we actually did it on 2 different days. In total, we easily spent three hours there. All the displays and collections were surprisingly nice, compared to some that we've been to. Great collections of fish, reptiles, frogs and turtles. There's even a butterfly room you can enter. It takes a while to start finding them, but there are lots of butterflies when you start looking around. Definitely worth a visit for both adults and kids!

Sights & Landmarks
Hotel Al Ponte dei Sospiri offers a mix of simple rooms and elaborate suites, along with a wine bar and complimentary breakfast. Its prime location makes it an ideal base for exploring Venice's attractions. Guests rave about the Junior Suite with its stunning view of the Ponte dei Sospiri, allowing them to soak in the essence of Venice from their room. The breakfast service, personally attended by Rafaelle, is highly praised for elevating the experience.
I loved staying here! The staff were so helpful and you literally get served breakfast in your room on a tray. Our breakfast server Rafaelle was such a delight and gave us good food recommendations! The location is great, right near Piazza San Marco and our room had a window view of the Bridge of Sighs.

We had an unforgettable stay at Hotel Al Ponte del Sospiri. The location is absolutely perfect, but what truly made our experience so special was the wonderful service. Every morning, Rafael brought us breakfast with the brightest smile and the best energy, setting the perfect tone for our day in Venice. He went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and cared for—even surprising us with a thoughtful Venice magnet as a gift. Rafael is truly the best of the best—his kindness, warmth, and genuine hospitality made our stay feel magical. Thank you to the entire team, and especially Rafael, for making our time in Venice so memorable. We can’t wait to come back!

We had a wonderful stay at Hotel Al Ponte dei Sospiri in Venice. Everything was just as we hoped for charming, comfortable, and perfectly located. What truly surprised us in the best way was the breakfast, which was served by Rafael. He brought not only delicious food but also such positive energy that made the mornings extra special. His warm and attentive service really added to our experience. We would definitely recommend this hotel and look forward to coming back!
Tavsanci B — Google review
The wow factor was pretty intense for me when I walked into my room and saw the view out the balcony window. I think it’s probably one of the more premier spots in all Venice to take in the views, and the people watching with the bridge of sighs in the distance- it’s room 150 in case you’re wondering - the best room in the house. With a great staff, great location and great pizza place right across the street. What else do you need?
Michael M — Google review
Simply the best! We stayed in 150 with a view of the Bridge of Sighs — this is what dreams are made of. The balcony is so worth the splurge. Wonderful front desk staff, location can’t beat (literally three minutes walk from St. Mark’s Square), and Raffaele is just a ray of sunshine when delivering room service breakfast. Also a shout out to John Marco at the front desk for helping us so many times. We’ve had the privilege of staying at around 20 hotels in Venice, including some big names, and can’t recommend highly enough. Trust us — there is no reason to stay anywhere else in Venice. Grazi to all who made our stay so memorable.
DB H — Google review
We had an amazing overall experience in this lovely hotel. We booked a junior suite and we had the windows overlooking the canal (rooms are on 3rd floor) and an exclusive view over the famous bridge (ponte dei sospiri). Also there is an amazing hidden extra perk: as the hotel doesn’t have the restaurant area…your breakfast will be always brought to you in the room! Thanks to all the staff and Raffaele in particular for all the kind words and care! Hope to see you again soon! Very recommended!!

Our stay at Hotel Al Ponte dei Sospiri was an absolute delight. My husband and I traveled to Italy to celebrate our honeymoon, and this hotel made it truly special. The staff was easily reachable, and transportation from the airport to the hotel was arranged seamlessly. Everyone we encountered was kind, helpful, and spoke English, which made everything easier. We chose the Love Escape package with our room, which included a tour of the Murano Glass Museum and a private water taxi tour of the Grand Canal. All the tours were easily arranged through the reception staff and went smoothly. Breakfast each morning was made extra special thanks to dear Raffaelo. His kind smile and thoughtful service added a warm, personal touch to our trip—we’ll always remember his hospitality. The hotel is also ideally located near Piazza San Marco, with shops, restaurants, and attractions all within walking distance. We’ll always cherish our stay here and will gladly recommend it to family and friends!

Saint Mark's Basilica

Basilica
Sights & Landmarks
Saint Mark's Basilica, also known as Basilica di San Marco, is a renowned cathedral in Venice and one of the most recognizable churches globally. Originally the Doge's private chapel, it boasts Byzantine art treasures brought back by Venetian ships after the fall of Constantinople. The facade features gold-backed mosaic pictures hinting at the stunning mosaic artistry inside, covering 4,240 square meters of domes and walls.
Not to be missed place to visit in Venice. Beautiful interior with mosaics showing Jesus and saints in the Byzantine style. If you want to visit to pray or be quiet, go to the side entrance and go in there. Otherwise, you can buy a time slot ticket in advance so you go straight in at the designated time. You can also buy an additional tickets for the museum with the bronze horses and to see the golden jewelled altarpiece, both I would recommend doing. Allow at least 2 hours to go round and see it all and take it in and not rush.
Desmond C — Google review
St. Mark’s Basilica is one of the most breathtaking and iconic landmarks in Venice truly a masterpiece of architecture and history. The moment you step into Piazza San Marco and see the golden domes and intricate mosaics shining in the sunlight, it feels absolutely magical. Inside, the basilica is stunning beyond words. The golden mosaics that cover the ceilings and walls are extraordinary, telling biblical stories in incredible detail and color. The marble floors, arches, and artwork all reflect centuries of Venetian glory and devotion. Every corner feels sacred and timeless. The view from the terrace is also unforgettable you can see the whole square, the Doge’s Palace, and the sparkling lagoon beyond. It’s one of the best spots to take photos and admire the beauty of Venice from above. Visiting St. Mark’s Basilica is a must for anyone coming to Venice. It’s not just a church it’s a living piece of art and history that leaves you amazed and inspired.
Lg G — Google review
Wow. First look was across the square - what a magnificent place. Loved listening to Rick Steeves podcast about the square and outside of the church. So many intricacies and unique bits. Then we were a part of a mass in the side chapel- so lovely. Came back later that day for the whole tour (again with RS!) amazing history, architecture, heaving floor & art! Did the whole deal with Pala d’oro and Loggia and glad I did. So cool to get up close to the horses, the mosaics, the view from up top. I bought tickets the same day but that saved me some waiting time.

The Saint Mark’s Basilica is one of the most beautiful Catholic churches I have ever visited. The basilica blends perfectly with the surrounding Saint Mark’s Square and the Doge’s Palace, creating a breathtaking historical setting. The main altar is truly a jewel—absolutely astonishing in its detail and craftsmanship. On the second floor, the four Greek horses are remarkable pieces of art and history. I highly recommend visiting this magnificent church with a guided tour to fully appreciate its rich background and hidden details.

St. Mark’s Basilica – Venice We had tickets for the basilica but mixed up the date due to the time difference coming from the U.S.—we were supposed to visit on the 3rd at 3:00 PM, and only realized that day that our reservation was actually for the 4th which is the following day. We arrived very early in the morning of the 4th when it opened. There was an event in the piazza so there was no line at all, and we explained that we had to catch a train later that afternoon. Despite the empty entryway and our situation, we were denied entry and told to return at the exact reservation time. We respect that there are rules and timed tickets exist for crowd control, but it was disappointing that there was zero flexibility, especially when the basilica was not crowded and accommodating two visitors would not have impacted operations. The basilica itself is extraordinary, and MAYBE we’ll try again next time—but travelers should know that the staff take reservation times very strictly, even when the site is relatively quiet.
David S — Google review
The Basilica di San Marco is really impressive. It offers incredible details and beautiful art. It is usually sold out for the next 2 days, so I recommend purchasing tickets in advance. On the official website you can buy it with an entry time, so you don’t have to queue outside. Once inside, you can also buy tickets for some additional areas of the Basilica, directly through a QR code that is placed right in front of the area you want to visit. If you wish to get an audio guide, you can rent one once inside, just after the access, but you will need your own earphones (which currently need a mini jack to be connected to the device), if you don’t have it, you can still hear it placing the device on your ear. This is available in several languages and it will be necessary if you want to know what you’re looking at in the Basilica. Depending on how long you want to stay inside, you may be able to see it all in 30-60 minutes, differently from the Palazzo Ducale which takes much longer. Have fun!
Giovanni F — Google review
There are no words that do justice to describing this Basilica. It dazzles you with something spectacular, then trumps itself with the next tings. From the greatest marble floors in the world to arguably the greatest golden Byzantine wall and ceiling mosaics in the world. The gold glimmers in the light and tells the story of the bible in the vivid detail that the height of Byzantine art manages better than anyone else. Do not miss the Pala d’oro, a golden altarpiece that is worth every penny. Do not miss the museum, whose collection is better than most national collections. Not least because the famous four horses from the Hippdrome in Constantinople are there. The greatest piece of ancient art in the world still with us. They mesmerise. They look and feel real. Then there is the views of the square from the balcony…
Michael O — Google review
St. Mark’s Basilica is regarded as the most important landmark in Venice. It is located at the heart of Piazza San Marco, adjacent to the Doge’s Palace, and serves as one of the finest examples of medieval ecclesiastical architecture in Europe. The first church on this site was constructed between 829 and 836 AD to house the relics of St. Mark the Evangelist, whose remains were taken from Alexandria, Egypt, and brought to Venice in the 9th century. The present structure, replacing the earlier church, was built between 1063 and 1094. The basilica reflects a fascinating blend of Byzantine, Romanesque, and Gothic architectural styles. Its domes, mosaics, marble decorations, and opulent interior are strongly reminiscent of Hagia Sophia and other Byzantine churches, underlining the cultural and artistic exchange between East and West. In addition to its religious role as a reliquary for St. Mark’s remains, the basilica also became a repository for treasures acquired during the Crusades. Following the Fourth Crusade and the Latin sack of Constantinople in 1204, numerous artworks and relics were brought to Venice and placed in St. Mark’s Basilica. Among the most famous of these are the four bronze horses originally from the Hippodrome of Constantinople, the Portrait of the Four Tetrarchs, and fragments such as the head of a statue of Emperor Justinian. These artifacts highlight the basilica’s historical role not only as a religious center but also as a symbol of Venetian wealth and power. The Crusades themselves were military campaigns organized initially to defend Byzantine territories and reclaim the Holy Land following the advance of Turkish and Islamic powers. The Seljuk Empire, the Ottoman beyliks that later formed the Ottoman Empire, and the Ayyubid Sultanate were among the key states against which the Crusades were directed. On the Christian side, the Byzantine Empire, the Papal States, the Republic of Venice, the Republic of Genoa, the Kingdom of Naples, as well as monarchies such as France and England, played significant roles in these campaigns.

The Doge's Palace, also known as Palazzo Ducale, is a stunning Gothic building located in Venice on St. Mark's Square. It served as the residence of the rulers and housed the parliament, secret affairs of the Inquisition, and even imprisoned criminals. The palace boasts chiseled colonnades, Gothic arches, and crenellated walls that give it an exquisite and sophisticated appearance in this city on water.
This place was extremely extraordinary and was a pleasure exploring the palace. I would really recommend that you buy tickets beforehand and the earlier the better. You will definitely need 2+ hours to explore this palace especially if your into art and history. I loved every bit of it. The cafe was also nice and the prices were reasonable. It’s definitely a must go if you’re in Venice!

This palace is beautiful and full of history and artwork. I recommend buying tickets ahead of time and giving yourself at least two hours to explore.

The Doge’s Palace in Venice is one of the city’s true highlights. The architecture is stunning, and the frescoes that adorn the walls are absolutely breathtaking — a masterpiece of art that can only be rivaled by those in the Vatican.

You have to get tickets online so you'll save time, not waiting to buy tickets. This palace is gorgeous, you will need more than an hour to see everything. This place is huge, there is a lot of photos opportunity. They have a impressive selection of fancy rooms. The ceiling is full of art, with golden details. Take time to learn about the history of this place. They have tour guides here as well, in case you want to learn more in detail. Give yourself about 2 hours here.

A must-see in Venice! The Doge’s Palace is absolutely breathtaking — filled with history, incredible art, and ornate architecture that captures the essence of Venice’s power and beauty. We visited around 5 PM, and it wasn’t busy at all, which made it even more enjoyable to explore at our own pace. Highly recommend booking tickets in advance to skip any lines and ensure your preferred time. Walking across the Bridge of Sighs and seeing the view from both sides was unforgettable. Truly one of the highlights of our trip!

Book ahead of time and the queue isn't TOTALLY awful. Impressive selection of fancy rooms with big paintings in them. Have fun spotting which doge looks the most like Santa! Surprised the gift shop doesn't do Doge Top Trumps, this would sell (if palazzo ducale are listening). Also top tip: at some point in the tour you get to the prison cells and you have the option to take the short route or the 'complete tour'. The complete tour is just LOTS MORE PRISON CELLS. Only take if you really enjoy empty stone rooms and stairs!

We booked a tour via get your guide (crown tours). The tour guide we had was passionate and her English was really easy to understand. We learnt so much. We chose the balcony tour and that was excellent and not too crowded. Got so much more out of your than I expected. Be warned plan to get there earlier than your time slot, I saw a couple who were late and missed there toyr and as other tours were full could not join the next one.

Oh my gracious what an incredible palace!! 686 years old. Do a tour! We did with skip the line passes. Hearing the history is needed to understand the meaning of so much of this palace. It is ginormous. I could walk around and stare at all the artwork and art, the exhibits, the prisons! Crazy to think prisoners as recently as 1920 were still being held here. The sheer wealth ugh

Located on an island in Venice, the Church of San Giorgio Maggiore is a stunning 16th-century architectural masterpiece designed by Andrea Palladio. The church features a bright white facade made of Istrian stone and houses impressive works by artists such as Tintoretto, Sebastiano Ricci, Palma il Giovane, and Jacopo Bassano.
it was so worth going 2 mins across the water for the view and also cheaper to go up the campanile here than san Marco's. it was €8 cash only to go up via lift only. you get a fantastic view of the main island and san Marco without a crowd. entry to the church itself is free. can't recommend coming here enough

I visited September 2nd. I studied Palladian architecture at Cambridge when I was younger and this was my first time to Italy so I had to visit this beautiful church. It was truly amazing the composite pilasters and columns, the Diocletian windows and especially the high altar. Later that morning Isabella gave me a wonderful behind the scenes tour. Beautiful art, and the room where the conclave met 1799-1800 to elect Pius VII. Pro tip: I enjoyed going up the campanile here more than the crowded San Marco one! Next time I return to Venice I will visit this lovely church again!!!

Beautiful church with impressive art and the unique mindset to have some modern art as part of the worship space. Forward thinking monastic curator and community. So sad that the elevation was broken- no stairs to go up the bell tower! Worth the short ferry ride, with a beautiful view. Not much else on the island.

Was a dream to step foot here, some of the best architecture venice has to offer, only negative was that we weren't able to go up to the bell tower because its cash only so keep that in mind if you are looking to get up there. Regardless i would still recommend to anyone going to venice. A must see

Worth the effort to get across the lagoon to see the church (free) and to take the elevator to the top of the tower for 8 euros per person (cash only) It's not crowded and the views are fantastic. I found it interesting to watch the choreographed chaos of the boats from this vantage point. It's a wonder there aren't more collisions

A beautiful church, and much quieter that it's opposite number across the lagoon. Visit the bell tower, it has wonderful views, not busy. And its more fun if you visit at 12 noon. The bells are striking.

Ponte di Rialto

Mentioned on 
+71 other lists 
Bridge
Sights & Landmarks
Ponte di Rialto, also known as the Rialto Bridge, is a stunning 16th-century stone footbridge that spans the Grand Canal in Venice. It is the oldest of the four bridges crossing the canal and was once the only way to cross from one bank to the other. Designed by architect Antonio da Ponte, it features a single arch to minimize interference with shipping traffic.
I’ve been to Venice twice. It’s best to go early in the morning when the crowds are still light – you’ll have more space and the scenery is perfect for photos. The canal water can be clear in some areas and less so in others, but the buildings and bridges built along the waterways are absolutely stunning

This bridge is really beautiful. It offers a nice view around, being quite high and is amazing both day and night. On the downside, it’s crazy crowded and you may need to wait your turn just to take a picture.
Giovanni F — Google review
The Ponte di Rialto in Venice is one of the most beautiful bridges I’ve ever seen. The combination of the gondolas gliding along the Grand Canal and the bridge’s elegant architecture creates one of the most breathtaking views in all of Venice. It truly feels magical. I highly recommend visiting it!
Murillo P — Google review
Fantastic views from either side of the bridge make this bridge well worth a visit. The earlier in the day you can manage the better as it is still crowded in the winter months. However the views are worthwhile and the photo opportunities are excellent.
Blue S — Google review
Visited the Rialto Bridge while in Venice, very easy to get to and visible from different places and also from the water. Lots of shops on each side of the bridge, and lots of gift stalls at each end. A beautiful structure that is equally beautiful in daylight as it is after dark. A must see if in venice
George F — Google review
It’s a bridge — but a very beautiful one! The Ponte di Rialto is a great spot to take pictures and enjoy views of the Grand Canal. It’s usually busy, but the atmosphere is amazing. Definitely worth a quick stop when exploring Venice.
Dennis D — Google review
Loved staying nearby this beautiful bridge. Definitely a highlight to see it at all times of day, with the shops, the joy of everyone else experiencing the iconic moment and even the tension of all the boats and ferries doing the everyday life and business in the canal around it. There is a great local grocery store just down the canal. We didn’t end up eating in any of the restaurants right there as we found wonderful trattoria away from the crowds. Loved finding new views of it and from it.
Randy H — Google review
An amazing experience. The Rialto bridge is definitely a must-see bridge while in Venice. It gets busy during the day as all tourists know this is a must-visit destination. We came here in October 2025 and there was still a lot of visitors but it is at the end of the season. There are restaurants where you can sit and enjoy cocktails and people-watch. The waterways are very busy so there's always something going on.

St Mark's Campanile

Mentioned on 
+75 other lists 
Historical place
Sights & Landmarks
St Mark's Campanile is an impressive 16th-century cathedral tower located in Piazza San Marco, Venice. It offers breathtaking views of the city and the surrounding area. Visitors can take an elevator to the top and enjoy panoramic vistas of Piazza San Marco, the Doges Palace, St. Mark's Basilica, and the Venetian Lagoon. The tower provides a convenient way to experience stunning aerial views without having to climb stairs.
It’s €15 per person, but it’s really WORTH IT!! You have an over view of the whole city and islands of Venice. You choose every half hour for the climb up time, but it’s not that strict. You can come up during sunset hours - personally I think it’s very beautiful. It’s elevator only so you don’t need to climb up the bell tower. Also, during sometime the bells will ring very loudly - be aware.
Erdun A — Google review
A visit here is €15, somehow steeper than visiting the actual basilica over the square, but I think it was worth it. You get a quick lift ride to the top of the tower and then obviously the views across the city. It was a bit rainy when we went but this didn’t ruin the experience. We did expect some kind of joined up ticket system for St. Mark’s Square; I think it would be good to be able to buy a linked ticket for the basilica, campanile and palace. Similar to the Doge’s Palace, the online ticket system was hard to navigate but it worked in the end.
Ollie F — Google review
It’s really nice being able to see so much of Venice from the top of the bell tower— the views are definitely a highlight and really beautiful. We paid €40 to go up, which felt a bit pricey, but overall the experience was still worth it. It was raining the day we visited, yet we still enjoyed the panoramic views over the city. A memorable stop in Venice!
Dennis D — Google review
You can now only purchase tickets for the bell tower online. There is a QR code to scan by the main entrance or visit their official website in advance. There is only one official ticket office for bell tower tickets and so you want the website with basilicasanmarco.skiperformance in the web address. I also highly recommend you do this in advance as it took us 45 minutes trying to do this there and then & the website kept crashing or took an age to buffer on account of the number of people trying to do the same thing in the same location. When we moved away from the area the website loaded more easily. They are the best views of Venice for sure and cost €15 per adult with cheaper prices for children.
Mark W — Google review
The ticket system can be a little overwhelming, but once you get them, you will wait some time in queue for the lift. We had tickets for 18:00 - 18:30, the sunset was at 18:08 and we entered queue around 17:57 and got up after 18:14, the sun was already set but still was beautiful. The views you get up There is like nothing else provided in Venezia. You can see almost all of it, if you are here i definitely recomend giving these views a go.
Jiri S — Google review
Definitely worth to visit the tower. Great view from the top for every side of Venice. The lift takes you up and then down again. Recommend to buy tickets in advance as it might be busy. Also entrance might be flooded during high tide so be prepared with shoes covers.
Elghato E — Google review
The Campanile is the main landmark in Piazza San Marco and a must-do visit in Venice! The ascent is super easy, done entirely by elevator, and you only pay the entrance ticket (no extra fees for the elevator). ​The experience is a pure lookout point: there are no rooms or exhibitions up there, but the reward is the most spectacular 360-degree view of the city. *** Tip: Go up in the afternoon! Often, the morning fog covers the tower and can hinder the view. In the afternoon, visibility is usually perfect, offering the best perspective.
Bia&Pedro — Google review
This allows you to have a look around Venice from above. You reach the top of the Campanile with an elevator and once on the top you can move around (literally) the balcony (closed with a metal net for security reasons. You are able to spot the points of interest all around and there’s a map in front of every “window” to help you understand what you’re looking at. The visit can really take 30 minutes if you’re not wishing to spend much time looking at the view. You will likely need to queue for the elevator both up and down, even if you have a timed ticket. Talking of which, it would be much better to buy that in advance to select the slot which suits you best. You can do so directly on the official website, where you have to create an account. You will receive digital tickets, no need to print. You don’t need a guide for this tour, as it is literally just a sightseeing.

Piazza San Marco

Mentioned on 
+90 other lists 
Plaza
Sights & Landmarks
Piazza San Marco, also known as St. Mark's Square, is a historic and iconic gathering place in Venice that dates back to the 12th century. It is dominated by the impressive St. Mark's Basilica and surrounded by significant landmarks such as the Doge's Palace and the National Library of St Mark's. The square has been at the heart of religious belief and political authority in Venice throughout history.
Visiting the tower is truly an immersive experience for the entire family, offering both excitement and wonder from the moment you arrive. As you step onto the grounds, you are greeted by the charm and history of Venice, which immediately sets the tone for an unforgettable adventure. The architectural details of the tower are fascinating to observe up close, from the intricate stonework to the weathered textures that tell stories of centuries past. Exploring the area around the tower allows families to soak in the atmosphere and appreciate the cultural significance of the site, making it much more than just a tourist stop. The highlight of the visit, however, is unquestionably the breathtaking view from the top of the tower. Once you ascend, whether by stairs or elevator, you are rewarded with a panoramic spectacle that stretches across the entire city of Venice. The red-tiled rooftops shimmer in the sunlight, and the winding canals create a mesmerizing pattern that seems to weave the city together like a delicate piece of art. Looking out toward the harbor, you can see ships and gondolas gliding through the water, adding energy and life to the serene horizon. On a clear day, the distant islands and the sparkling Adriatic Sea come into view, providing a scene that feels almost dreamlike. What makes this experience particularly special for families is the way it blends learning and leisure. Children and adults alike can marvel at the geography of the city, while also appreciating the beauty of the Venetian skyline. It is an opportunity to create lasting memories, capture stunning photographs, and gain a new perspective on one of the world’s most enchanting destinations. The visit leaves a lasting impression, making it a must-see highlight in Venice for travelers of all ages.

Beautiful location. Choose the time of year you go as it can become very busy indeed. The streets of Venice are many and varied with many bridges and not a car to be seen. The waterways are busy too, bustling with boats which is entertaining to watch. Easy access by foot straight from the train station. Most definitely worth a visit but go armed with 'maps' on your phone so you don't get lost.

Such a lovely place to visit, the buildings are stunning. Very busy with a great feel and atmosphere. Very easy to get too, with lots of gift shops and stalls very close by, and also ferrry rides and gondola rides on the waterfont. A wonderfully beautiful place to be. Very hapy to have visited here

In my opinion, Piazza San Marco is one of the most beautiful squares in the world. The entire place feels almost magical — the canals, the buildings, the bell tower, the palace, and the clock all add a unique touch of grandeur and splendor. This square was one of the main reasons I visited Venice, and it truly exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend experiencing its charm in person.
Murillo P — Google review
Piazza San Marco is absolutely stunning — truly the heart of Venice! The architecture is breathtaking, with St. Mark’s Basilica, the Doge’s Palace, and the Campanile all surrounding the square. There’s something magical about just standing there, listening to the music from the cafés, and watching the world go by. It can get crowded, but it’s 100% worth visiting. Try coming early in the morning or later in the evening when it’s quieter — the atmosphere is unforgettable. A must-see for anyone visiting Venice

Performing arts theater
Concerts & Shows
Teatro La Fenice, also known as "The Phoenix," is a renowned 1,000-seat theater in Italy that has faced destruction from three major fires since its opening in 1792. Despite these setbacks, the opera house has been meticulously restored and continues to host world-class opera, ballet, and classical music performances. The opulent interiors with gold detailing and plush red velvet chairs provide an old-world ambiance for visitors to enjoy classic Italian opera.
Elegant and historic theatre with breathtaking architecture and rich cultural heritage. The interior is lavishly decorated, and the acoustics are excellent, making performances truly memorable. Even if you can’t attend a show, a guided tour is highly recommended to appreciate its beauty and history.
Thuy N — Google review
Beautiful Opera House, just 8 min walk from St Marks Square. You can get a family ticket for (€30) along with an audio guide to enjoy the self guided tour. Ideal to be inside somewhere seeing this little gem on a hot day. We had a rehearsal going on too. We didn't need to pre book, just walked in and got the tickets. It was not very crowded.
Gaurav G — Google review
A stunning theatre with a wonderful history. The “Phoenix” has risen a number of times, most recently after a fire in 1996. In the tour, there is a touching tribute to the late, great Maria Callas, who performed here in many roles over many years. The ball room and Apollo rooms are also very beautiful.

Yo 🎤 lemme drop a verse about that Venice vibe — La Fenice 🔥, the phoenix that survives. Three times down, but it rose from the flame, Every comeback stronger — remember that name. 🌟 Stepped in the spot, man, jaw hit the floor, Gold drippin’ from the ceiling, couldn’t ask for more. 💎 Architecture tight, sound pure as a prayer, Every note in the air, man, magic everywhere. 🎶 Italy flexin’ — maybe world’s best show, A theatre reborn, with that eternal glow. ✨ Take the private tour, don’t rush, just cruise, Let the velvet, the vibes, and the echoes seduce. 😎 So when you hit Venice, don’t you dare skip this, Catch that Fenice flow, it’s pure bliss. 💫 From ashes to glory, that’s the scene — A masterpiece reborn, La Fenice, the queen. 👑🔥

A breathtaking historic theater – worth the visit Teatro La Fenice is one of the most beautiful opera houses I’ve seen. The interior is grand and elegant, full of history and charm. Even if you’re not attending a performance, the guided tour gives a fascinating glimpse into Venice’s cultural past. The ticket price is a bit high for a short visit, but the experience and atmosphere make it worthwhile.

1. Atmosphere & Architecture The theatre is absolutely gorgeous — gilded, ornate, with that period elegance. Golden decorations, frescoes, chandeliers, woodwork, plush red or rose‑velvet seating, all contribute to an immersive experience. There’s a powerful sense of history: La Fenice has burned down and been restored multiple times (notably a major fire in 1996), yet each reconstruction has honored the original style. That gives the place layers of resilience, almost mythic quality, which heightens the emotional impact. 2. Acoustics & Performance The sound is often praised — many reviews say that the acoustics are excellent; the theatre skillfully balances the orchestra, the singers, and the ambiance so that even from the boxes the intimacy isn’t lost. When there is a live performance (opera, symphony, ballet), everything seems to fall into place: the space, the architecture, the music and performance combine in a way that seems to transport people — many say they get chills. 3. Cultural Significance & Emotion La Fenice has hosted many premieres by Verdi, Rossini, Donizetti, etc. It’s a place where musical history was made. That gives a visit or performance an extra layer of weight and meaning. The restoration after tragedies (fires), the passion to rebuild “com’era, dov’era” (“as it was, where it was”) adds a sense of phoenix‑like rebirth. It’s fitting symbolically. 4. Accessibility & Visitor Experience Audio guides get good marks. They help bring the history, the architecture, stories of past performances alive for visitors. The cost of a visit is often considered reasonable for what one gets (€15-€25 for Sanpaolo). Some family‑pricing options exist. #mostoere #mosinitiatief #bethelselfcatering #9barnardstreetgeorge

La Fenice, absolutely gorgeous. Whether you're an opera lover or not, take in a show just for the experience. Wozzeck was fantastic, although an intermission wouldn't have gone astray. Be sure to purchase your tickets several months in advance as they sell fast!

The Grand Canal in Venice is a must-see attraction, offering a unique perspective of the city. Instead of opting for an expensive gondola ride, taking the Vaporetto 1 waterbus from P.le Roma to St. Mark's Square provides an affordable and scenic alternative. The journey offers stunning views of Venice's palazzos, iconic landmarks like the Rialto Bridge and Salute church, as well as glimpses of luxurious hotels along the canal.
Mesmerising Grand Canal of Venice (Venezia) is dream land with exceptional breathtaking views. Highly recommended to take a Vaporetto ride or Gondola ride in Grand Canale. Heart line of Venice main canal splashes beauty on both shores with great restaurants and buildings.

Nothing quite like it. For travellers, this body of water represent life, entertainment, livelihood, connection to ea SH other, services and beauty. So much history, so much beauty! At night time it glitters colours and lights from different establishments. During the day it becomes a guide, a marker for people to follow and wander to their destination. Venice and Grand Canal, where nature and people’s ingenuity combine.

This waterway runs the entire length of the Lagoon of Venice! There is much traffic on the waterway: water buses, water taxis, gondolas and private boats and amazing to see how they navigate it all. I purchased a 3-Day Water Bus pass and it allowed me to enjoy the beautiful views, massive buildings, Rialto Bridge and exquisite architecture of all the other buildings along the waterway.

It was amazinggg, We loved it.We took the gondola and it was a great experience. We paid 90€ in total for three people. The price does not change depending on the number of people. It is the same whether there are five people. The 30 minute gondola ride is priced at 90€.Definitely take a walk around the back streets, this is essential to understand the spirit of Venice. And definitely eat at more local establishments, it's cheaper and more original.

Line 1 of the vaporetto is Venice’s best show. If you’re lucky enough to get the seats beside the pilot cabin, you feel the city open up: the thrum of the engines, the vibration of the deck plates, the water slapping the hull, and palazzi lit like stage sets as you glide past. Rialto was once the world’s trading floor, where goods from East and West were landed — and you sense that weight of history even now, slipping under its arch by night. A vaporetto ride is Venice’s greatest souvenir: not bought, but lived.

Spiaggia Boccasette

Mentioned on 
3 lists 
Beach
Outdoor Activities
Spiaggia Boccasette is a beautiful free beach located in the Po Delta, offering stunning views and a peaceful atmosphere. The area remains relatively unexplored by mass tourism, making it an ideal paradise in Europe. Visitors can enjoy the sight of flamingos flying overhead while relaxing on the beaches of Barricatta and Spiaggia di Conchiglia nearby. The beach is quiet even in spring and becomes more popular during summer, making it a perfect spot to visit at sunset.
In my opinion, the best beach around. Large parking 2eur per day. Several beach operators, parasol and sunbeds for rent 4-5 euros each, restaurant, refreshments, WC, shower for 10 cents. Waves during the day and calm and clear water in the evening. Perfect for childrens.

(Translated by Google) It's a beautiful beach for those who love beautiful, clear water and tranquility. The very shallow water and fine sand make the shoreline always calm, even in strong winds. There's a large parking lot where you can park for the whole day for €2, after paying at the hut near the beach access bridge. Parking is also possible along the road, but I don't recommend it. Inside, in addition to a large, free and unspoiled beach, there are three beach clubs with restaurants and bars where you can sample traditional dishes and excellent aperitifs. The rental cost for umbrellas and loungers ranges from €5 to €7 each, making it very reasonable. (Original) È una spiaggia molto bella per chi ama il mare bello e trasparente e la tranquillità. Il fondale molto basso e con sabbia fine, rendono la battigia sempre tranquilla anche con forte vento. È disponibile un ampio parcheggio dove con 2€ é possibile sostare per l'intera giornata, dopo aver pagato alla capanna ridosso al ponte d'accesso alla spiaggia. É possibile posteggiare anche lungo la strada ma lo sconsiglio. Al suo interno, oltre ad un'ampia spiaggia libera e selvaggia sono disponibili 3 stabilimenti balneari con relativi ristoranti e bar dove si possono assaggiare piatti tipici e ottimi aperitivi. I costi per noleggio di ombrellone e lettino va dai 5€ a 7€ al pezzo, davvero contenuto.
