Curiosity

The name Venice is of Etruscan origin and exactly means “city of canals” ; in addition, the name Veneto (which “christens” the region where the city of lovers is located), also means “region of the canals” and not by chance: the cities in the region are famous, precisely, for their canals.

If Venice is already beautiful ‘on the floor’, imagine the view from the top! Today we list for you one of the Venetian places with the most beautiful panoramic views of the city! Are you ready to be enchanted? So let’s go!

1) The most beautiful panoramic views of Venice: ST MARK’S CAMPANILE

It is practically impossible not to start our list with this Venetian symbol that is as beautiful as it is famous: the St Mark’s Campanile. With an imposing 99 meters high, it offers us a 360 ° panoramic view of the city. From the top we can see the St Mark’s Square with the Doge’s Palace , the Basilica, the Saint Mark’s Basin and the beautiful Basilica of Our Lady of Health. Click here to Tour the Doge’s Palace and St. Mark’s Basilica with Terrace Access!

Tip

It is quite common to find very long lines to climb the Campanile (mainly during high season), so the sooner you go, the better! To go up to the high point of the belfry, you pay 8 euros and, if you do not like stairs, do not worry: there is an elevator that takes you to the top!
Where is it? St. Mark’s Square.

2) The most beautiful panoramic views of Venice: FONDACO DEI TEDESCHI

The Fondaco di Tedeschi is actually a shopping mall, but it offers visitors to climb to its highest point and have a splendid view of the Grand Canal. Near the Rialto Bridge, it often goes unnoticed, as not everyone knows that it is possible to climb to the top, so put it on the short list! It is worth the visit!

The visit is free , however it is necessary to make a reservation in advance and follow some rules: each visit can last a maximum of 15 minutes and the maximum capacity of the terrace is 40 people. If you do not want to book online, you can book it on arrival via the QR code on the fourth floor – but it is subject to availability. In case of bad weather and for security reasons, the administration reserves itself the right to NOT AUTHORIZE access to the terrace without prior notice. Open every day from 10:30 am to 6:30 pm. Access can be made by stairs or elevator. Where is it? Calle del Fontego dei Tedeschi.

3) The most beautiful panoramic views of Venice: CAMPANILE OF THE CHURCH SAN GIORGIO MAGGIORE (ST GEORGE “MAJOR”)

The Church of San Giorgio Maggiore is on an island right in front of St. Mark’s Square and the Doge’s Palace. You may think that, from here, you will not have much to see, but this is where you are wrong: unusual, it is one of the points with one of the most beautiful views of Venice. Even though it is not above the roofs of the city, because it is in the middle of the Lagoon, it shows us a different and interesting view, not to mention that the church is beautiful! You can go there by vaporetto. The ticket to climb to the top of the bell tower costs 6 euros and operates from 9:00 am to 7:00 pm (from April to October) and from 8:30 am to 6:00 pm (from November to March). Where is it? San Giorgio Maggiore island.

4) The most beautiful panoramic views of Venice: SKYLINE ROOFTOP BAR

It is the most famous bar in Venice for being the tallest! On the eighth and top floor of the Molino Stucky Hilton you will find the Skyline Rooftop Bar. The view from here, especially at sunset, is impressive! Here you will find, in addition to the splendid view, appetizers, music and special nights! Free transportation to arrive, delicious cocktails and, often, good music at sunset. It opens from Friday to Sunday, from 6:00 pm to 11:00 pm – does not open on other days of the week. Where is it? Giudecca district, 810.

5) The most beautiful panoramic views of Venice: ARSENALE DA TORRE DI PORTA NUOVA

The Venice Arsenal was founded in the 12th century, and is the heart of the Venetian naval industry, as well as being the first factory in human history. Here you find the Torre di Porta Nuova that dates back to the early 1800s, and was erected as a machine to build masts for ships.

From the tower’s terrace, you can observe a splendid view of the beautiful view of the Arsenale, a view, in fact, very privileged from which it fully captures all its unique charm. To visit it, you need to contact the Venetian Arsenal Office to verify if the visit is open and what the opening times are. Phone: 041.2441595– check with your hotel’s concierge to see if they can contact you and arrange the visit. Where is it? Fondamenta di Fronte – Castello, 30122.

Hotels I recommend in the San Marco area

San Marco is the most famous neighborhoods of Venice and, at some times of the year, it is difficult to walk around, because the city is crowded.

Hotels I recommend in Castello Area

Castello is the largest of all the “ sestieri ” (neighborhoods) and has an incredible waterside for good walks, in addition to being full of cafes, bars and shops. They are not cheap places to stay, but it facilitates access to the most famous tourist spots and, with that, saves on transportation, as it is possible to do everything on foot!

Hotels I recommend in the Santa Croce Area

Santa Croce is home to the important bus station in Piazzale Roma, which makes it very easy to get off the beaten track, including going to Santa Lucia if you want to make a stopover.

Don’t want to stay on the island? No problems! Search for Mestre, Campalto or Favaro Veneto , which are the mainland cities of Venice and offer excellent accommodation options. A little further from Piazzale Roma, about 20 minutes by water transport, they do not have magnificent views from the bedroom windows, but it is ideal for those who want to save on accommodation.

Tips

The tip to save A LOT is to book your hotel in advance.
As we also mentioned: beware of excess baggage! It is very complicated to get around with large volumes in Venice because of the bridges, stairs and narrow streets.
