Venice’s view from the Campanile di San Marco shouldn’t be missed. Also known as St Mark's Campanile, it is the bell tower of St Mark's Basilica and is one of the most recognizable symbols of the city. There are various vantage points in Venice where you can marvel at the view of the city and the Lagoon below but the views from the Campanile di San Marco are the most stunning.
The price of admission is 8 Euros and you can take an elevator to the observation platform that is almost 100 m above the ground. From there, the views across Venice, the lagoon and even the neighboring islands of Murano, Lido and San Giorgio are spellbinding.
