Overview of your Venice tour:

The Doge's Palace was the political centre of Venice, it hosted the government and the city court together with the apartments of the Doge when Venice was a Republic. The Palace is an amazing example of Venetian Gothic architecture and stands along the waterfront overlooking the Lagoon. We'll discover the history of the Republic and the beautiful rooms of the Palace decorated with masterpieces by Venetian painters such as Tintoretto and Paolo Veronese. These masters where chosen by the Venetian government with the aim to represent the power of Venice on water and on land, using exquisite colours and light to define religious and political scenes. You will be captured by the scale and beauty of their art. The tour continues with the Basilica dedicated to S. Marco, a typical example of Byzantine style decorated with 8000 sqm of breathtaking golden mosaics. Walking inside the Basilica is like entering a jewelry box full of golden reflections and an immense variety of colours, it is a real lifetime experience.
