Beautifully designed and amazing architecture both inside and outside. There was a small waiting time to get into the cathedral, but it was a very busy time of the year as it was carnival.

More in line with expectations. Of course, Venice itself is not particularly large, so please manage yourself. The lions of St. Mark are still beautiful, and there are also some murals, armor and other displays. The effect of listening to the interpreter is average. You still have to fight for a tour guide.
