Location:
For lovers of history and art, Apartment Giana is ideally located just a short walk from the Church of the Salute, the Accademia Gallery, the Palazzo Cini Gallery, and the Punta Della Dogana Centre of Contemporary Art. you’ll find plenty of fine dining restaurants in the area, as well as supermarkets, cafes, and water bus stops.
The iconic St. Mark’s Square is just a five-minute gondola ride away and is well worth a visit during your stay. This more populated and cosmopolitan area of Venice is rich in its own exciting and interesting attractions and is one of the most famous piazzas in all of Italy – a place Napoleon once called the ‘drawing room of Europe’, this incredibly beautiful spot is an absolute must-see while you are in Venice, and it is here that you’ll find the famous St. Mark’s Basilica, the jewel of the square and undoubtedly one of the most beautiful churches you’ll ever see.
The basilica is full of stunning mosaics, relics of St. Mark himself, and perhaps most famous of all, the four bronze horses (that are actually made of copper!). Tours of the church interior are free of charge, but it is worth knowing that queues to enter this popular attraction can exceed 45 minutes at peak times, so Oliver recommends showing up early!
For an afternoon of people-watching, refreshments and relaxation, you couldn’t be in a better place, as there are several beautiful little cafes in the piazza, all serving excellent coffee and delicious pastries – often served with a side order of live music. Oliver recommends visiting Caffe Florian while you are here, which opened its doors in 1720 and is thought to be the oldest cafe in Europe. Enjoying an authentic Italian coffee in a 300-year-old cafe while overlooking a 1000-year-old church is certainly a once-in-a-lifetime experience!
It’s hard to spend time in St. Mark’s Square without noticing the impressive St. Mark’s Clocktower, with its stunning blue face and gold zodiac symbols. To truly appreciate this 500-year-old masterpiece, we highly recommend booking a guided tour to enjoy the inside of this fascinating building.
