mp3cityguides Venice tour |
 |
We start at the elegant Piazza San Marco where we explain the history and meaning of the beautiful mosaics of the Basilica di San Marco including the mysterious figure who is shown looking horrified by the contents of a basket and holding his nose. We talk about the significance of the details on the fa?ßade of Ducal palace before revealing the dark secret of the clock tower.
We then relate the history of this remarkable city as you see it - including why we should all be grateful to Attila the Hun - and we show you how Venice suffered the world’s first aerial bombing raid.
You’ll visit the Fenice opera house and hear about how it rose from the ashes – twice. We show you the only church in Venice with two front entrances – and explain why this is. You’ll learn about the shadowy Scuolas and get a sense of the real Venice and why the city contains some of the most beautiful art in the world.
