Cheap City Breaks in Venice
The Piazza San Marco is the
hub from which you can most easily reach all of the Venice's most famous landmarks
all of which are well worth seeing in spite of the crowds. There's glittering San Marco Basilica,
which looks less like a northern European cathedral than a sultan's pleasure palace;
the Palazzo Ducale, a pink-and-white Venetian Gothic wedding cake of a building that housed
Venice's rulers and now hosts art exhibits; San Marco's beloved 100-metre-tall brick bell tower,
constructed in 912 and fortified after collapsing in 1902, so it's now quite safe to climb for a
beautiful bird's-eye Venice view; the extravagantly decorated, and extravagantly priced, 18th-Century
Florian's and Quaddri cafes; and, of course, the piazza's famous pigeons.
