#8 of Best Things to Do in Venice
There are pretty much two ‘birds eye’ viewing spots in Venice - being the Basilica San Marco Clock Tower; and the roof top terrace of ‘T Fondaco Dei Tedeschi’ (a department store by the Rialto bridge). You need to book ahead for both - which we did.So we set off for the Clock Tower first thing and after a short wait, went up (~100 m). The view provided a terrific perspective of Venice - its red terracotta rooftop tiles, and the various islands to the south and east. A good start to the day

Above the arched bell tower is a square building, the outer walls are decorated with lions and Venetian justice women.To prevent corrosion from the sun and rain, the entire statue is wrapped in a thin gilded copper sheet. In addition to admiring the appearance of the bell tower on St.
