VENICE: ST. MARK’S CHURCH AND RIALTO (OPERAHOUSE...

You visit St. Mark’s Square, the former political centre of the Venetian Republic; the Doge’s Palace, once the seat of the government, and the Bridge of Sighs will be both explained from the outside. You admire the breathtaking mosaics in St. Mark’s Church, from there you walk over to the recently rebuilt opera house La Fenice and the fascinating winding staircase Contarini and then to the Rialto Bridge, the former trading centre on the Grand Canal.
