1. Piazza San Marco

It is said that Napoleon called San Marco "the drawing room of Europe." And it is a breathtakingly beautiful place. But the square has long been a lure for massive numbers of pigeons, drawn by the massive numbers of tourists who readily feed them. While the tourists happily post for photos amid the flock, there are concerns that the birds' presence--and what they leave behind--will damage the centuries old architecture and art work.

I’ve visited St. Mark’s Square many times but truly enjoyed this visit. While the piazza was crowded and even flooded during high tide, the waters quickly diminished, the weather was beautiful and there are enough opportunities to get the perfect photos!

We visited this beautiful church and were blown away by the opulent gold mosaic artwork and beautiful sculptures and architecture. It was a personal goal to visit San Marco and the square so it was for us a dream come true. The disappointing thing was the general level of dishonesty around Venice by business people. To buy anything was a complete rip off, even a coffee and croissant was extortionate. You had to always check your change as we were deliberately short changes several times and my wife was also pick pocketed in Milan the very hour we arrived in Italy. So be careful with your money and I wouldn’t eat or buy any food in tourist areas. Also when we arrived at the train station in Venice the square was under about 12 inches of water. People were everywhere selling waterproof waders to put your feet in. 20 Euro later ...These promptly leaked and we were soaked anyway after 5 minutes of use. This was dishonesty on an industrial scale. Also no one told us that if you simply waited about an hour the tide would recede and you could walk around on dry ground. This basic information was simply not available to tourists. My advice would be, go for the beauty and amazing art and be very careful, as there is unfortunately a rip off culture everywhere.

The architecture of this beautiful church is Romanesque, the exterior of the apse is lavishly decorated with multicolored bricks. But it is the inside that holds the real surprise - unique and well preserved mosaics, covering the whole floor. According to the explanations on the information panels, different parts of it carry different symbolic messages. the southern (right) aisle is the Baptism Way, the central nave is the Way of Salvation, while the northern (left) aisle is the Way of the Church. The mosaics are really beautiful! The church is dedicated to Saint Donatus, who - according to a local tradition - slayed a dragon. The entry was free and taking pictures was allowed.

It's really beautiful visiting the area by bike: it's absolutely safe and you can wander in the small roads along the channels of the lagoon. The landscape is amazing especially at the sunset when the colours make everything magical.

Great view from this site. It is also an easy stroll along the water front between the beaches of this town. Do not forget to look down and check out the sculptures in the massive rocks used to build the sea wall.
