1.Venice: St. Mark Basilica Ticket, Audioguide+History Gallery

★★★★★★★★★★3.9 · 4,780 reviews · from $23Our pick

Visit St. Mark’s Basilica with priority entry, a downloadable audio guide, and an optional escorted visit. Then use VR to see Piazza San Marco across the centuries. Guides may include Andrea, Valentina, Elena, or Francesco, while the €23 ticket covers the ground floor only.

“The Basilica is absolutely gorgeous & small enough that it’s manageable. The agent at the tourist office beforehand where you go to pick up the info was super helpful & very nice. TIP: DOWNLOAD the app/audio beforehand in order to listen to the digital audio guide once in the church since there’s no connection there. Audio was very informative & interesting. Im glad we went with the audio instead of a guide because you can go at your own pace. However, taking one star off because the Skip-the-Line isn’t really skipping anything since you still stand on line for at least 15-30mins to do security (depending how early you go.)Read…”
