Venice - Piazza San Marco - St Mark's Square - Italy :

Venice Piazza San Marco -- The Piazza San Marco, or St. Mark's Square, is undoubtedly the most popular tourist destination in Venice Italy. The main sights are centered at and around the piazza of San Marco.

Napolean rightly called the Piazza San Marco "the finest drawing room in Europe, " as all major historic buildings of Venice are located close to it. The Piazza also offers an excellent base to begin your Venice city tour, as it's the focal point of Venice's water transport system. It's a perfect spot for relaxing and watching thousands of pigeons, or taking a sightseeing of all major tourist attractions of Venice, Italy. In fact, all sightseeing tours of Venice Italy start from the Piazza San Marco.

Long the political and religious heart of Venice, it’s hard to believe Piazza San Marco was once little more than a monastery garden crossed by a stream. The glittering basilica and Doge’s Palace command the east side of the square, while other stately buildings along its borders have been the backdrop for magnificent processions celebrating victorious commanders, visiting dignitaries and festivals. The western end was remodelled by Napoleon, who wished to construct a royal palace here. Today the piazza continues to bustle, with a museum complex, elegant cafés, live orchestras, costumed Carnival crowds – not to mention duck-boards when it floods.

The Basilica of San Marco overlooks one of the most beautiful squares (St Mark's Square) in the world, a real marble salon, the city center for centuries. Next to both the Basilica and the Doge's Palace, all the most important religious and civil ceremonies have always been held there and now the Piazza San Marco is considered Venice's main symbol and tourist attraction.

Time zone -- GMT + 1 (GMT + 2 from last Sunday in March to last Sunday in October)

Currency -- Euro

Language -- Italian, of course, is the language of the land, but English is generally understood at most attractions such as museums and at most hotels and restaurants that cater to visitors. Even if not all the staff at a restaurant, for example, speaks English, almost always,one person does and can be summoned.

Electricity -- The electricity in Italy varies considerably. It's usually alternating current (AC), varying from 42 to 50 cycles. The voltage can be anywhere from 115 to 220. It's recommended that any visitor carrying electrical appliances obtain a transformer. Check the exact local current at the hotel where you're staying. Plugs have prongs that are round, not flat; therefore, an adapter plug is also needed.

Air Connections -- Venice is served by the newly rebuilt Marco Polo International Airport, or Aeroporto di Venezia Marco Polo, named in honor of its famous citizen. The airport is on the mainland and was rebuilt away from the coast, however the water taxis or Alilaguna waterbus' to Venice are only a seven minute walk from the terminals. Some airlines market Treviso Airport in Treviso, 20km from Venice, as a Venice gateway.
