The next in your itinerary should be to pass by the Basilica di San Marco. This famous basilica was originally built for the rulers of Venice or the doge and not for the Vatican. It was only in 1807 that it became a cathedral. It houses the bones of St. Mark, thus the name Basilica di San Marco.

Venice walking tours also include a chance for you to see the craftsmanship of the Venetians through their glass art. Many walking tours include visiting the craftsmen’s shop that allows tourist to have a go at glass blowing. Of course you can take home your masterpiece for a price but the experience that you’ve had getting personal coaching from the artists themselves is priceless.

And then there’s the Venetian market to buy all sorts of stuff and maybe even souvenirs for the trip. Learn how to haggle with the local vendors and listen to authentic Italian banters while you’re there. The Venetian market in Rialto is the most famous flea market where you can buy fresh produce from Venice and sample their local cuisine.

A Venice walking tour is one of the most romantic tours you can take. You can’t find the experience anywhere around the world so don’t miss a chance to embark on one at least once in your lifetime.
