    St. Mark's Campanile
    This is the proper name for the very tall bell tower you see first when approaching Venice. It is close to 100 meters tall. If you appreciate more active travel you can even take the stairs! This exhilerating adventure will give you the most amazing pictures of Venice to be had.

    HOURS: Closed Jan 7-31 Oct-Feb daily 9:30am-4pm Mar-June daily 9am-7pm July-Sept daily 9am-9pm ADMISSION: 6€

    Equipment: Wear good shoes to get you up there. I wouldn't recommend it if you are claustrophobic, of course. Make sure to bring your camera for your prize of the most amazing views of Venice.

     Nice photos and good tips. Pitty you haven't seen more of hidden Venice. Greetings from Kragujevac, Serbia I&V

     Good tip about how to choose a gondolier. My experience (true, it was a few decades ago) was not very memorable!
