## St. Mark&#39;s Square: Venice&#39;s soul living room, an open-air celebration that never ends **Definitely worth it! **Step into St. Mark&#39;s Square (Piazza San Marco), and you stand at the apex of Venice&#39;s beating heart and glory. Napoleon called it &ldquo;the most beautiful living room in Europe,&rdquo; and it is not just a geographical center, but an open-air theater that condensed millennia of history, art and life, the ultimate classroom for understanding Venetian temperament. ### **Strike the shocking highlights of the soul**: * ** The ring stage of the architectural epic**: The square itself is a museum without a roof. Look at: ** St. Mark&#39;s Cathedral** The golden dome and gorgeous mosaic facade, combining the Byzantine Eastern mysteries and the magnificent Gothic beauty; **Governor&#39;s Palace**Lace-like pink Gothic arcade, showing the majesty of maritime supremacy;** Bell Tower** towering into the clouds, such as red sceptres directly to the sky; **New and old Executive Officers&#39; Corridor**(Procuratie Vecchie &amp; Nuove) Elegant arcades are connected into giant curtains, framed to restore the skyline. Different times and styles of buildings resonate in harmony here, forming an unparalleled visual symphony**. *** Flowing daily and celebration**: The magic of the square is that it never solidifies. **Morning light micro**, the slate reflects the soft light of Wuhu, the sound of the water washed by the cleaners is the prelude to the city&#39;s awakening;**Daylight**, the pigeons circled like flowing clouds, tourists in the open-air coffee seat (such as the century-old store Florian) drinking Italian concentration, the band&#39;s classical melody with the sea breeze; **At the height of the tide, the water reflected the columns and the sky, and pedestrians stepped on the makeshift trestle bridge to become a unique magical scenery in Venice. Here is the best box for observing the 100 states of all beings**. ***Light and Shadow Magic and Space Poetics**: The square changes its appearance with the change of light. When the sunset melts gold, the cathedral&#39;s golden roof burns like fire, and the Governor&#39;s Palace is stained with honey; the lights are on at the beginning of the Hualien, the lights under the arcade are lit like star chains, and the silhouette of the clock tower sinks into the dark blue night. Its trapezoidal graphic design (82 meters wide at one end, At the other end, only 57 meters) cleverly created the visual depth of the church from the Piazzetta by the sea, the complex is propelled like a stage set, and the momentum is magnificent. ###**Don&#39;t miss the finishing experience**: ***Clock Tower - Panoramic view**: At 98 meters high, you can see the beauty of the red-tile maze, blue waterways and square geometry (detailed in the previous article). * **Night tour exclusive tranquility**: When the tide of people disperses, the moonlight is spilled on the slate floor, and the corridor column casts a long shadow, so that you can experience the sacred and poetic nature of the square**. * **Feel the &quot;wonder of high tide&quot;**: If there is a climax in the autumn and winter rainy season, the water is like a mirror reflection of the building, and it is a unique Venetian memory to walk in rain boots (see tide forecast!).

Our experience in Venice was unforgettable, thanks to the perfect combination of a serene gondola ride and an insightful walking tour. The gondola ride was peaceful and gave us a unique view of the canals, while our guide was fantastic&mdash;knowledgeable, friendly, and engaging. We learned so much about the city&#39;s history and hidden gems as we walked through its charming streets. A truly memorable way to experience Venice from both the water and the land. Highly recommend this experience for anyone visiting!

## Governor&#39;s Palace: The heart of power of the Venetian Republic, a gorgeous shock through the millennium** is definitely worth exploring!** Step into the Governor&#39;s Palace (Palazzo Ducale), and you enter the core of the Venetian Republic&#39;s millennium glory and shadow. It is not only one of the most magnificent Gothic secular buildings in Europe, but also a super-machine palace of power, art and history, far more profound than ordinary palaces. Its shocking highlights hit the soul: * * * * Gothic architecture peak wonder: * * * the first facade is shocked ** light as lace pink marble * * constitute a huge arcade and carved windows, subverting the inherent weight of Gothic. The solidity of the stout colonnades on the ground floor and the elegance of the upper open corridors form a delicate balance, as if the entire palace floats above the water, perfectly interpreting Venice&rsquo;s blend of strength and exquisite maritime empire. **Giant Steps (Scala dei Giganti)**The majesty of the giant statues of War and Sea on both sides indicates that you will enter the Temple of Power. ***The magnificent Power Theatre:**The internal space is the climax! Walk through the **Gold Ladder (Scala d&#39;Oro)**, step into the **Grand Parliament Hall (Sala del Maggior Consiglio)** and be swallowed by its restoration in an instant. This was the largest political gathering space in Europe at the time**! Your eyes will be involuntarily attracted by the giant Paradise** of **Dintoretto (one of the world&#39;s largest oil paintings), covering the whole face The religious and authoritarian imagery of the wall is suffocating. Walking through the **ten-member committee hall**, **the old hall**, the ubiquitous **gilded ceiling, wet murals (Veronese, Titian masterpieces), and Venetian mosaic floor**, constitute the ultimate visual feast. These luxury is not only art, but also The Republic** deters the envoys and demonstrates the political tools of the state power**. * ** The sigh bridge and dark memories: * The Governor&#39;s Palace is not only gorgeous. Cross the sigh bridge (Ponte dei Sighi)**, and feel the cold touch of the stone bridge connecting the palace and the prison. Cross the narrow ** leaded prison roof cell**, Imagine the saga of Casanova&#39;s escape here. This &quot;crossing journey&quot; from the peak of power into the abyss of despair reveals the deep justice and secret cruelty of the republic&#39;s prosperity. * **Priceless art treasure:** The palace itself is a top art gallery. From the fine armor of the ** weapons library, to the luxurious furnishings of the ** consul suites; From the ceiling masterpieces of Veronese&#39;s &quot;Robbing Europa&quot; to the historical whispers on the wall of prisoners&#39; graffiti...every detail tells the epic story of the rise and fall of the Republic. **Reality Tips:*** **Must buy a &quot;Museum Pass&quot; (Museum Pass)**: Covering major attractions such as the Governor&#39;s Palace and the Correll Museum, the price is very high. * **Reserve sufficient time: **

The Bridge of Sighs, Piazza San Marco, the Campanile, the Doge&#39;s Palace, and the bell are all together. Together, together. I can&#39;t say this enough! The most important thing in Venice is either to use the bridge or the boat. Otherwise, you&#39;ll never reach the other side, and your entire itinerary is out of your control. So, take the boat. Fortunately or unfortunately, you usually only have a day ticket and can use all public transportation freely, depending on the number of days you have. If you don&#39;t know much about European culture and history, the museums won&#39;t make much difference; you can just explore the surroundings. For a beginner like me, one day is enough. To be more precise, you can take Line 2 from the boat dock near the bus station (where the Constitution Bridge and the train station are located) to see all the main attractions: the Bridge of Sighs, Piazza San Marco, the Campanile, the Doge&#39;s Palace, the bell, the sunset over the Grand Canal, the Basilica of Santa Maria del Fiore, the Accademia Bridge, the Ratio Bridge, and the Golden House.
