Lounge Italo Club Roma Termini, Piazza dei Cinquecento 1d

Description

Depart from Rome Termini and enjoy a full-day adventure to Venice, where the magic begins the moment you arrive. Meet your expert local guide in St. Mark’s Square and dive straight into the city’s artistic and historical wonders. With skip-the-line access, you’ll enter St. Mark’s Basilica to admire its golden mosaics, sacred treasures, and the legendary bronze horses. Enjoy exclusive access to the upper level or, when unavailable, visit the dazzling Pala d’Oro instead. Step onto the balcony for unforgettable views across the square, the Doge’s Palace, and the shimmering lagoon.

Your experience continues inside the Doge’s Palace, once the political heart of Venice. Wander through majestic halls adorned with masterpieces by Veronese and Tintoretto as your guide shares stories of power, intrigue, and the rise and fall of the Venetian Republic.
