- ZAHHertfordshire36 contributionsWent to Ponte dell'Accademia to view the Grand Canal.
Stunning views from this point, a perfect photo spot.
It’s a little out the way from St Marks Square but definitely worth the walk.Written March 15, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Armoury was interesting as was the prison but the rooms were a testament to over inflated egos and attention seeking.Written March 15, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Travelseeker1125Minneapolis103 contributionsHighly recommend a visit inside the church when you are visiting Venice. Beautiful architecture and artwork.
Reasonable entry ticket price.Written March 17, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- deanbpjsEastbourne, UK326 contributionsThis was well worth the visit. It’s actually not that old and there’s not much inside. BUT the view from the top is worth every Euro of the €10 cost.
We got to Piazza San Marco for 8:30 in the morning before the queues and crowds built up. That’s the first tip. Avoid the crush and be there before opening. We waited half an hour to beat the rush and were 3rd in the queue. By the time it opened the queue stretched across the square half way back to the waterfront
So on to the view. If you like views then this is your must-do if visiting Venice. The panorama is stunning
There’s an elevator and you can’t walk up (so that’s good - both from a still being able to breathe point of view; but also from a crowd management at the top perspective). Considering the numbers waiting, the top of the tower wasn’t over crowded and unpleasant
And that’s all there is to it really. Views = amazing (see the pics)!Written February 21, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Marko Ž.Maribor, Slovenia5 contributionsI recommend at least a two-day visit to experience Venice in the morning, afternoon and evening. A very safe place with a large crowd of people, but they disappear towards the evening and you can walk alone and feel the Venetian atmosphere.Written February 20, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- John PMelbourne, Australia1,192 contributionsNo matter how often one visits Venice there are favourite friends you just have to see and in my book the Frari is one of those! One can enthuse about Titian and Bellini but really to my mind it is the wonderful ensemble, it’s enormous scale, the bricks, the numerous beautiful memorials, that of Canova especially elegant and beautiful in my mind, the sun of all its parts rather than any individual pieces. I do hope I get to come back a further time, it is delightful inside and out!Written January 17, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Jinty059Glasgow, UK185 contributionsSpent time in the Scuola on our first day in Venice, exploring the area we were staying. Absolutely fantastic building, so much to look at and admire. Was reasonably quiet at about 11.00 a.m. in March so got to see everything in detail. Get the leaflets to read about the place. The paintings and ceiling are so beautiful, impressive, stunning, amazing and sad. If that is not enough, you have all the remarkable wood carvings and the lamps, oh what lamps. Some really talented people years ago. Climb up the stairs and find even more to look at, including the preserved finger of St. Andrew?? Well worth an hour or so to be completely blown away.Written March 13, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Elina MichaelidouLondon, UK584 contributionsThe San Giorgio Maggiore church was not very impressive but the views from the top really made up for it. There is a lift that takes you to the top, and the views of Venice are amazing. While walking around the church we could see a few art exhibitions too. In total, we spend around 40 minutes there.Written November 9, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Adriana U6 contributionsI chose this after getting a bit of advise from a seasoned Venice traveller. Definitely better than staying near the piazza. St Mark's square area is vibrant and full of amusement but it is also terribly crowded and if you want some quiet time, you are better of choosing Dorsoduro where you can have both the nice sites and busy areas but also the quiet alleys. As a plus, you get to take pictures without the intrusive tourists and visitors. There are beautiful sites everywhere and a great combination of students and people of all ages sharing the space.Written March 5, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- 3CaldwellsIpswich, UK124 contributionsOne of the must see sights. I actually visited at night to capture the Noah fresco as well as the Bridge. The architecture is stunning and worth seeingWritten March 11, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Kai CHalf Moon Bay, CA1,269 contributionsMonumental church (basilica!) on the Punta della Dogana side of the Grand Canal. Hosts paintings by Titian, Tintoretto, Giordano, a famous Byzantine icon and impressive marble statuary. Merits the (nice) walk.Written January 14, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- SMLikestoTravelBengaluru, India277 contributionsWe had booked the tour of the clock tower. It was very interesting and a unique experience to see the inner workings of the clock.

- ItalianTranslationsTrento, Italy65 contributionsCa’ Rezzonico is stunning Venetian Villa with splendid painting collection. The enormous ballroom and numerous other rooms organized on three floors are simply splendid.
The paintings collection is impressive. We spent three wonderful hours. Highly recommended for anyone is interested in Venetian architecture and art.Written January 18, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
