Very pretty, should be free to enter as it's a church. However costs 3 euro which seems reasonable but then it's 5 euro for another section and 7 for the next. I really hate this way of monetizing of a church. Make it clear at the beginning and make a combo ticket. In the end I declined to do the bits that cost extra money as I just think it's money grabbing and that's the worst part of italian culture I've come across, when there are hidden costs. I also remember that Jesus got really angry at similar money practices in his day. To be clear I don't mind paying 3 euro, probably even 10 might be ok to go in a cool place and see art, but when things aren't up front thus is less cool. And I also think churches should be free to enter as they are in most places. I wouldn't have minded if the bit I had done was free then I pay something to go up stairs for example, but paying both... the whole thing doesn't seem very Christian in my opinion. Rant over

Una fusione di arte e storia, nel complesso della basilica di San Marco. Ci si perde tra arazzi, mosaici, libri antichi, abbigliamento sacro, dipinti e i quattro cavalli originali che adornavano la facciata della basilica. Per ammirare questo museo occorre percorrere un'angusta scalinata che conduce al piano superiore della basilica regalando scorci dell'interno da una prospettiva diversa. In direzione dell'uscita, qualche scalino porta all'esterno dove il panorama che ci appare è unico. Il percorso esterno è abbastanza breve ma ci offre la possibilità di vedere da una posizione privilegiata la piazza con tutti i luoghi più rappresentativi oltre alla copia fedele dei quattro cavalli da una prospettiva invidiabile. Se poi la giornata è serena tutto diventa più poetico grazie alla luminosità del sole. Inoltre, prima di uscire, chi lo desidera può acquistare una moneta ricordo distribuita solo in questo museo.

St. Mark's Museum is an artistic treasure trove that transports visitors through time. Its awe-inspiring collection of religious artifacts, intricate mosaics, and historic relics offers a profound glimpse into the cultural heritage of the past. Navigating the hallowed halls feels like a journey into history itself. The museum's careful curation and detailed exhibits provide a deep understanding of the significance of each piece. While some displays could benefit from more informative descriptions, the overall experience is immersive and enlightening. The breathtaking beauty of the mosaics is truly a sight to behold, a testament to human craftsmanship. St. Mark's Museum is a must-see for anyone seeking to connect with the spiritual and artistic legacy of bygone eras.

A wonderful place. The interior work is astounding with amazing detailed mosaics of gold tiles. Unfortunately there were other tourists there who were complaining about covering up. There was also a section where some nuns were practising their faith. The problem was that tourists were invading the area. There were also people wearing baseball caps inside. The place is amazing but the behaviour of tourists here was not good. Definitely worth the visit and the audio guide is great for 5 euro. It has approximately 4 stops and 10 minutes of audio leaving you plenty of time to explore. One thing we learned is that the damage on the pillars is caused by the flooding. Also have a good look at the floor - the detail is amazing! Highly recommend!

Grande e straordinario Museo di arte e storia situato nel complesso della Basilica di San Marco che si affaccia sulla omonima meravigliosa piazza simbolo della città di Venezia...all interno del maestoso palazzo sono conservati dipinti, arazzi e mosaici di rara bellezza...se si sale la ripida scaletta interna che porta alle terrazze si può godere di un panorama mozzafiato vista mare...assolutamente da visitare ma consiglio l entrata con la guida turistica per non dover fare la fila considerando il grande afflusso di turisti in quasi tutti i periodi dell anno

Il museo è situato all'interno della Basilica. Ci si trovano arredi arazzi, oggetti che raccontano storia della Basilica. Sono rimasta colpita in particolar modo dai quattro cavalli bronzei di San Marco, che capeggiavano maestosi sul tetto dell’antico ippodromo di Costantinopoli e che oggi possono essere osservati da vicino, davvero impressionanti. Meravigliosa la visita sulla terrazza da cui può essere ammirata l intera piazza San Marco, il cuore di Venezia e i suoi palazzi e monumenti, insieme agli impassibili gabbiani chd, insieme ai piccioni da sempre caratterizzano la citta. Visibile , l'isola di San Giorgio, cuore della città e dell'antico stato.

This really is the highlight of Venice. The biggest tourist thing to see and visit while here. No trip to Venice would be complete without it. It's a beautiful open square with something to see in each direction. The basilica and tower are available stunning. I would have a 100 more photos of it wasn't windy and raining when we came. At least it drowed out the surge of tourists. The sheer amount of elaborate decoration of the basilica is astonishing. And you could study it for an hour and miss lots. There love to get in here is crazy long and we skipped it.

Really beautiful but so busy so be prepared to stand around a lot! It is completely free to enter but i believe you can pay to skip the queue however the queue may look long we felt it moved reasonably quickly! I recommend taking a trip to the museum/balcony which is up a set of stairs, we went up and it was so lovely to look over the square and to the canal! If you really don't enjoy the church itself go up to the balcony (i think it was just 5 euros) because its so lovely and peaceful also you can look over the church from above.

La Basilica di San Marco, a Venezia, è la cattedrale della città e sede del patriarcato. Unitamente al campanile e alla piazza di San Marco, forma il principale luogo architettonico di Venezia, e, assieme ad essi, costituisce il più conosciuto simbolo della città e del Veneto nel mondo. È, inoltre, uno dei simboli dell'arte veneta e della cristianità nonché monumento nazionale italiano. All'interno potrete trovare il museo con i suoi arazzi, dipinti e sculture che raccontano la storia di questa basilica nel tempo.

Beautiful church inside - the entire ceiling is covered with gold mosaic designs, and the light is wonderful. Downsides are the ridiculous lines and the fact that everything besides the main church space costs a few euro to see. We arrived a little before the church opened so our wait was minimal, but by the time we left (around 10am) the line looked like the picture below. Personally I feel that time in this area can be better spent on the other fantastic museums, shops, etc. nearby.

Calling this a museum is misleading. Its an exhibit, not a museum. There are probably 10-15 pieces of restored / preserved art pieces at max. But I do recommend paying the extra 7euros to enter this museum for two main reasons; 1. to view the original Horses of the Hippodrome of Constantinople. This quadriga has a fascinating history and is a must see imo. 2. gives you access to the terrace of the cathedral. you get some splendid views of the city from there.

An amazingly wonderful museum located inside one of the nicest cathedrals you’ll ever visit in your life. This is an incredible place with an incredible history and museum. It’s absolutely worth your time to visit St. Marks, you won’t regret it, I would definitely recommend checking it out and buying the pass to see everything.

Una visione sublime dei mosaici dorati delle Basilica, il tutto visto dall'alto. Museo che offre al visitatore le bellezze di pezzi di mosaico restaurati e la quadriga giustamente protetta . Insieme al biglietto del museo è compresa la loggia esterna e ne vale la pena per la bellissima vista sulla piazza e poter ammirare da vicini i capolavori della facciata. Non esitate, prezzo modico 5 euro ma ne vale molti di più!!!!

La visita del museo vale da sola la visita a Venezia, tuttavia la gestione degli ingressi è inqualificabile,; infatti non si può entrare con "zaini voluminosi", togliete aggettivo voluminoso, basta che sia uno zaino e qui già il primo disappunto, ma non è previsto un servizio di deposito, pertanto moltissime persone fanno la fila per poi venire rifiutate davanti all'ingresso. Una cosa del genere non l'avevo mai vista.

Beautiful place at night and day. It gets super crowded very quickly so make sure you get there early to wait in line. Or you could wait until around 3 so you wont have to wait as long. Most of the church is free to view (no pictures allowed inside), but you have to pay for the museum and balcony upstairs overlooking the whole square (which is worth it to me). Beware, it gets toasty inside during the summer.

Vale veramente la pena entrare. Suggerisco di pagare i 3 euro su internet per fare l'ingresso senza fila... In 2 minuti siamo entrati!!! Inutile dire che San Marco è un capolavoro di bellezza e sontuosità! Valgono un sacco anche i 5 euro per vedere il museo, bellissimo, e la parte superiore della Basilica (con i mosaici legati della Volta dell'Apocalisse), nonché l'esterno da cui si domina piazza San Marco.

The architecture and appearance of this building is incredible! We spent hours looking around and learning about the history of the building! Entrance is free however there are restricted areas where you have to pay to get in, the area that I would recommend paying for is the upstairs as you can really take in the scale of the building and get a great view of the square, especially when events are on.

The museum costs an additional €7 which you pay for after entering the Basilica. I think it's pretty worthwhile. You get to access the terrace, overlooking Piazza San Marco. There are enough interesting things to see to justify the entrance fee. Also there's no queue and not crowded at all.

Basilica storica dai mosaici stupendi ma trovo assurdo come ogni ala della basilica richieda un pagamento in più (non segnalato all’ingresso). 3€ di ingresso (non pagabile con i sussidi statali per gli studenti) per poi scoprire che ne servono altri 5 per vedere la pala d’oro e altri 7 per poter salire. Capisco che Venezia viva di turismo ma i prezzi mal segnalati sembrano una presa in giro

Basilica di particolare interesse storico e bellezza da visitare. L'ingresso è gratuito solo per alcuni settori della Chiesa. Consiglio di vedere la Pala (ticket € 2) e il museo (ticket € 5) siti all'interno della Basilica. Attenzione non è consentito l'ingresso con borsoni o zaini che vanno preventivamente consegnati ad un deposito sito nelle vicinanze (servizio gratuito x una ora)

Bellissimo museo incastonato nelle volte della chiesa dal quale è possibile ottenere una vista stupenda sia della piazza che della navata della chiesa. All’interno sono conservati bellissimi cimeli storici tra cui la loggia dei cavalli che sono veramente stupendi. Dal tetto della basilica inoltre si può ottenere una vista stupenda sulla piazza e foto mozzafiato.

Può sembrare un ripiego dato che la chiesa è momentaneamente chiusa causa restauro, invece da modo di vederla quasi tutta da dentro, dal piabo rialzato.. Pezzo forte sono ovviamente i cavalli di 2x00 anni fa, ma anche l'entrata con l'acqua alta non è da poco. Si possono vedere da vicino i mosaici interni, alcuni libri di canti miniati e dei modelli

Per accedere saltando la coda, si può acquistare un biglietto online a 3€. Inoltre per le donne è richiesto un abbigliamento che copra le spalle e le ginocchia. Per chi ad esempio d'estate sta visitando la città in canotta e pantaloncini deve acquistare una mantellina al prezzo di 2€ (in alternativa può portarsela, basta che rispetti questi canoni)

Si trova sopra la Basilica di San Marco, siamo riusciti a visitarlo,la Basilica purtroppo non è stato possibile anche perché di Domenica mattina si celebravano le SS Messe. Veramente molto interessante ed anche c'è la possibilità di avere una vista panoramica sulla piazza San Marco stupefacente. È stata una bella iniziativa anche per i bambini.

Overpriced museum mainly with religious artefacts. Worth of visiting only due to horses stolen from Constantinople years before. Apart from that nothing special. From the balcony it possible to take a picture of basilica.

Very ornate and beautiful cathedral that is free to enter. Though I would suggest going online and getting a skip the line ticket if you are going at a busy time (three euros). The ceilings have beautiful decorations with lots of gold paintings. But my favorite part was the floors and the elaborate designs in them.

Il museo che contiene i pezzi dei mosaici che sono stati staccati perché instabili fino ai modelli delle impalcature che sono state utilizzate durante la costruzione della Basilica di San Marco. Dal museo si può accedere alla balconata esterna su piazza San Marco e ai passaggi superiori della Basilica.

The church and museum are nice, but they're not as impressive as the Doge Palace right next to them. If you want to see both, start by visiting the church first and then go to the Doge Palace.

A beautiful church, wonderfully preserved! Photography inside the church is not allowed. The gold mosaic on the ceiling is stunning, I would recommend arriving at the church a little before 11am. Because at 11am they turn on all the ceiling lights and it's amazing watching the golden ceiling glow.

Amazing place to visit, most beautiful church I have ever been to. Free to enter but charges to see the Pala D'Oro massive gold screen, and to the St Mark's museum which is a definite must, especially to see the 4 horses and to visit the balcony to get amazing view of the square below. Incredible!

Great meusem make sure you the Rick Steve's any guide. You have to pay for some of the portions of the church for the treasure it's 2 and another portion to see the wall is 2 and if you want to go to the top to see more which you should it's 5. Expect like lines for all 3 of the activities.

Beautiful place. I would say its a myst visit for all visitors, even though most of venice is very beautiful. Byt st marks Basilica is an exquisite historical site. Although the square sometimes stinks a bit but its not that bad. Highly recommended. Btw this is my dog uwu

They didn’t light the basilica so you can’t even see the gold in the ceiling. Due to the poor lighting everything inside was a dull brown color. Definitely buy the skip the line pass online for $3 and go straight to the special entrance. I didn’t have to wait at all.

It's curious to imagine who and how it was constructed but the style is not in my taste. Only one section is free, the other 2 sides should be paid separately. 3 euros to see a golden smth, and go to the top and see the horses it costs 5 euros per person.

You can access this museum after you visit the temple, remember to bring a kimono or a big pashmina, Italian’s are very serious about the dress code inside the temple’s, no shorts or open shirt, the land that you go you must show respect to their custom.

The basilica itself is closed. It’s a nice museum and ok for 5 but could definitely have been combined with one of the other museums. One thing I’d say is that the balcony view is definitely amazing - gives you an aerial view of St Marks square. …

Beautiful touristic place. Must stop while in venice. Amazing art. While you do not need to pay to enter, there are at least 3 stops where you should pay top visit special places. 10 euros for all of them. Worth visiting the museum on the top floor

Well what can I say, one of the most important, historic and fantastical locations on the planet. If you only live once, visit what can only be described as a living film set. You might not know it but this is the most recognisable place … Altro

The museum itself is pretty good but what's really great is being able to go up and get views of St. Mark's Square. A definite must if you are in the Basilica already. Look for the stairs to go up and is definitely worth the extra fee.

Do not miss this spot in Venice. Take the museum tour also, so you can go out on the balcony and overlook the piazza.

Beautiful and historic church right on St. Mark's square. We took a guided tour which was great as we learned a lot about the history of the church's beginning and accessed some of the areas and secrets of the church. … Altro

La basilica di S. Marco è un luogo da non perdere... C'è tanta storia e arte e i pochi euro che si spendono per vedere il tesoro e la pala d'oro valgono la pena di essere spesi. Venezia è sempre splendida.

Building is magnificent. Visited at approx. 9.15 when there were no queues. Beware as they quickly start forming. You cannot take large pieces of luggage, trolleys. You must pay to visit certain sections.

Got to be best value tourist attraction in venice. As it's free. You have to pay to go up a level. Though is worth it for views. Don't let long queue put you off, as it progresses quickly

How dare you have a backpack and try to enter? No place to drop backpack so no access

Wouldn't let wife in without renting a 2 euro black cape because she was in a dress that didn't have sleeves even though it was past her knees and not form fitting or anything. … Altro

Awesome cathedral. If you enjoy art, history, architecture then get a ...save the line, guided tour. You can NOT take photos here but it is an amazing place. And it is busy. Go early

Amazing architecture and history. However there are usually extremely long queues to get in. Although entry is free its ,€3 to get into the treasury and €2 to get behind the altar.

Imperdibile, anche la probabile fila da affrontare per l'ingresso è piacevole occasione per ammirare questa chiesa dall'esterno. Una vera prova di devozione dei Veneziani a DIO

Honestly nothing too special. It’s free to go in but lots of added pricing for special areas. Also cover shoulders or you’ll need to purchase a 1 euro shawl before you enter.

Quite beautiful. Make sure to wear long trousers and to cover your shoulders. You can't bring your backpack inside, you need to leave it in the luggage room two blocks away!

Uno dei posti più iconici di Venezia, la Basilica di San Marco è una delle chiese più belle che abbia mai visto, i suoi mosaici sono qualcosa di particolare.

Non si possono fare foto all interno. Ma dentro é mozzafiato. We can't make photo inside but is awesome. No se puede hacer foto adentro, pero es increíble.

A must see Must see when in Venice. The seat of power where the Church is joined with the Governors palace. History and grand artistry combined.

It was AMAZGING experience I love love there history and amazging art inside the Badilica, absolutely breath taking and indescribable …

got to view inside didn't have to wait. absolutely amazing. If you ever visit while services are going its very cool! this is a must see place!

Nice place to visit when you are in Venice Island. But take note very crowded, so be very careful of your belongings and personal items.

Museo interessante all'interno della basilica di San Marco. Oltre ai cavalli di bronzo molti arazzi e uscita nella terrazza esterna!!!

It is the one and only! Buy your high water boots before approaching the square, if needed. They'll cost 10 Euro near the square.

The museum itself is quite small for the 7 euro entrance fee but you can access the out door balcony for a nice view to the plaza

Come ogni cattedrale che si rispetti, è molto più bella fuori che dentro, sicuramente da vedere la Pala d'oro al costo di 2€.

Entrata gratuita, €2 per la pala d'oro, €3 per il tesoro di San Marco, €5 per il piano superiore ed il balcone.

Get there before scuba gear is a prerequisite! Beautiful, but similar to herding cattle through a marshland.

Entrance is free but paid 4Euro to see this....a bit not worth it. A reminder : no backpack are allowed in!

Stunning building outside and breathtaking inside! Got a guided tour with skip the line and was worth it!

Wonderful building, take a look at the Pala d'Oro inside. Ladies must cover their shoulders and legs.

Se si vogliono vedere i mosaici della basilica da vicino nel matrone allora questo è il posto giusto

Absolutely stunning. Only downside is the line to get in. I’d recommend getting there early :)

Must see place in Venice. Either you can live close by or take the boat ride to reach here.

Fantastic church that blends old orthodoxy from Constantinople with Roman Christianity

The most famous place in Venice! Very nice square and very nice place to walk around!

Its gothic!! Rich history!! The relic inside is gorgeous must visit when in venice!!

Bellissima, favolosa, magnifica! Una delle più belle basiliche che abbia mai visto!

Siamo rimasti molto soddisfatti della visita al museo e della veduta del loggione.

Absolutely stunning piece of architecture and history! It’s just breathtaking!

Che dire.....impossibile descrivere.... Da visitare assolutamente …

Incredibile edefice, definitley worth visiting when you are in Venice.

Un patrimonio unico. Si prova meraviglia per ciò che l'uomo può fare.

Splendid. Expect long queues but an unmissable part of the cityscape.

Certainly a great "artwork" itself. Must visit spot in Venice.

Bad place, do not trust price of 3 euro. Full price is 15.

lots of tourists, suggest visit in the morning hours

Great, colourful place to see. Amazing mosaic work.

beautiful architecture, lots of story on the walls.
