To feel the essence of Venice, St. Mark\u2019s Square is the place to visit first. While the beating heart of Rome may be the sand of the Colosseum, the beating heart of Venice is its most illustrious piazza, St. Mark\u2019s Square <\/strong>(which is called Piazza San Marco). The large impressive square is flanked on all four sides by ornate buildings, archways, and porticos that host cafes and high-end shops. With the Campanile (clock tower) on one side and the Torre dell Orologio (tower of the clock) on the other and other famous Venetian landmarks such as St. Mark\u2019s Basilica, Doge\u2019s Palace and Torre dell\u2019Orologio, it is one of the most iconic squares in Europe. <\/p>\n

    Doges Palace<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

    Located on the Grand Canal, Doges Palace is one of the best places to visit in Venice. The Palazzo Ducale or the Doge\u2019s Palace is the most important building in Venetian history. The Doge was the head of state and religion in Venice for centuries. He was like Venice\u2019s Pope, Regent, President or Prime Minister all at the same time.<\/p>\n

    The Doge\u2019s Palace is tucked in the corner with the statues of Saint Marco himself and the winged lion of Venice towards the water. The architecture inside and out of Doge\u2019s palace is impressive and I\u2019d recommend at least 90 minutes to see it all properly. <\/p>\n
