Why Aura
Palladio's white church on its own island facing San Marco, three minutes by vaporetto line 2 from San Zaccaria, with Tintoretto's Last Supper by the altar. The bell tower, usually the calmest view of the Bacino, is closed for works at the moment.

Basilica di San MarcoPiazza San Marco · The Doges' church, its domes and vaults covered in gold-ground mosaics, St Mark's body under the high altar and the Pala d'Oro behind it. Book a timed slot, come in the morning before the square fills, and cover shoulders and knees.Palazzo Ducale (Doge's Palace)Piazzetta San Marco · The seat of the Venetian Republic: gilded council halls with Tintoretto and Veronese ceilings, the armoury, and the Bridge of Sighs across to the prisons. One ticket also covers the Correr museum on the other side of the square.Campanile di San MarcoPiazza San Marco · The square's bell tower, rebuilt after it collapsed in 1902; from the belfry you see the whole city, the lagoon and on clear days the Alps. Go late in the day when the light turns gold.
