Saint Mark's Basilica at Night: Private Visit
Overview
There’s nothing quite like seeing Venice bathed in moonlight. As night descends on the city’s twinkling canals, the captivating charms of the Serenissima have to be seen to be believed. On this special night tour of Saint Mark’s Basilica, we’ll have the rare chance to visit Venice’s extraordinary cathedral after dark, getting up close and personal with the church's spectacular artworks without the crowds. In the company of an expert guide you’ll learn all about the story of Saint Mark and the history of Venice, as well as how the basilica rose to become the city’s most iconic landmark. Come face-to-face with the precious Pala d’Oro, and gaze up at the basilica’s world-famous mosaics, beautifully illuminated by state-of-the-art lighting. On our exclusive tour we’ll also get to visit the crypt, final resting place of the patriarchs of Venice.
