A five hours acquaintance with the impressive Venetian mark points; Doge’s Palace, the Golden Staircase and St. Mark’s Square are amongs the stops of this excursion.

Visit the Doge’s Palace, the former residence of the Dukes of Venice and the seat of Venetian government from the 9th century until the fall of the Republic in 1797. Although no traces of the 9th century Byzantine structure remain, the present graceful palace – richly ornamented both inside and out – date from the 14th century and is considered by many to be the most exquisite in the world. Walk up the famous Golden Staircase to marvel at the painting of Tintoretto and Veronese and wander through the echoing Great Council Chamber where you can enjoy a splendid panorama of the St. Mark’s Basin from the balcony.

 A final orientation walk of St. Mark’s Square, pointing out its principal monuments, will end your historical excursion. Suitably relaxed, you will have free time on your own for shopping in and around this beautiful square, including an optional visit to a glass factory.
