Piazza San Marco, AKA St Mark’s Square, is Venice's most popular public square. It is home to some of the city’s most famous buildings, including the Basilica di San Marco and the Palazzo Ducale. If you want to go inside, we would recommend booking skip-the-line tickets in advance to save yourself some time!

GO EARLY! It was eerily quiet at 7:30 AM. We found it amazing to peacefully enjoy this square, knowing it would be filled with hundreds of people in a few hours.
