Venice's Best Observation Deck: The Bell Tower of San Giorgio Maggiore Church

"If you're visiting Venice, the first thing you might want to do is enjoy the view of the city from an observation deck!" Many people feel this way (myself included 😂). While most visitors head to the bell tower in Piazza San Marco, I strongly recommend the bell tower of San Giorgio Maggiore Church instead! Located on the small island of San Giorgio Maggiore, which was created solely for this church, access may be a bit inconvenient, but the benefits are well worth it: - Far fewer crowds! (Unlike the overcrowded Piazza San Marco) - Being on a small island means unobstructed views, allowing you to capture the surroundings freely. - You can photograph not only the cityscape but also the nearby islands and the sea, offering diverse photo opportunities. - No fences to block your shots! (The bell tower in Piazza San Marco has fences.) - The elevator to the bell tower costs €8, slightly cheaper than Piazza San Marco's €10. - For fans of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part 5, this is a pilgrimage site that will surely excite you! 📍Location: Isola di San Giorgio Maggiore 2, 30124 Venezia VE 🕰️Hours: 9:00 AM - 6:00 PM Access: Just steps away from the Vaporetto terminal "S. Giorgio" 💰Price per person: €8 for the bell tower (entry to the church is free)

Church of San Giorgio Maggiore

San Giorgio Maggiore Church is the best platform to overlook Venice. Fewer tourists would come here, but many internationally renowned works like The Last Supper, Reunion of Virgin Mary, and The Deposition can be seen here. Strongly recommend the landscape at dusk. You can visit the inside and then climb up to the bell tower for the panoramic view of Laguna Veneta.
