Location:
Apartment Lucia is just a short walk away from one of the most vibrant and exciting parts of Venice, near to the Campo San Maurizio antique market. Established in 1970 this bountiful marketplace takes place over five weekends throughout the year, and if you happen to be visiting during one of these times, a visit to the market is a must. Exhibitors come here from all over Italy, selling goods and curiosities from the past, including books, furs, pipes, vintage shoes and postcards, chandeliers, pocket watches, jewellery and much more.
No trip to Venice would be complete without taking in some of the city’s iconic historical sights, and the apartment is perfectly situated for visiting galleries, museums and opera houses. La Dimora San Maurizio 2 is just a short distance from St. Mark’s Square, one of the most famous piazzas in all of Italy, and which 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!
If you want to enjoy one of the most iconic views in all of Venice head to Campanile San Marco, a fantastic vantage point for looking out over the Doge’s Palace, the basilica, and the Venetian Lagoon. Unlike some of the tower views in Italy, this one requires you to simply take an elevator to the top, rather than climbing hundreds of stairs – bonus!
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!
