Create an itinerary including San Giorgio Maggiore

You access San Giorgio Maggiore, a 16th-century Benedictine church, by boat. As you approach the island, notice how the structure's white marble facade contrasts with the blue of the lagoon. Enter to discover its equally bright interior. Admire several paintings by Venice-born Renaissance artist Tintoretto, as well as many other religious artworks. You can take the elevator up to the bell tower for a small fee to discover views of the Venetian Lagoon.

Best view of Venice If you want to be able to see venice and not be in “venice” this is a must. Access to the tower is 8 euros per person, worth it with the phenomenal views.

Just take the regular city boat to cross the water from San Marco. The island offers a spectacular view on Venice, but it's also worth visiting. Plenty to see here.
