This family's experience:

Activities: We visited St. Mark's Basilica, where we saw the marble floors and gold mosaic arches, which are intricate and stunning. We also paid a small fee to enter the basilica and accessed the Loge and museum, which gave us close-up views of the church’s arches and access to the outside loge. We also saw the original copper horses in the museum

Highlights: The basilica is unlike any other cathedral I've seen in Europe. The marble floors and gold mosaic arches are truly breathtaking. We loved the close-up views of the church’s arches from the Loge and the museum, and we enjoyed seeing the original copper horses up close ✨
