We didn't wait long to get to through the line and the views were quiet impressive. I wouldn't miss this if you are visiting Venice!

A small queue waiting for the lift but didnt take long to get to the front. Excellant views over Venice and no rush to leave.

We hardly waited in the morning. Stood in line at 8.30 (which is also amazing to be in St M Sq with so few bodies...you actually see the artful ground under your feet!). BUT the real treat was at 9a.m. in the elevator the bells were ringing. THe higher up the more intense. THEN the doors open to the lookout... More

The key thing for the Campanile is to either get there early or get there late - otherwise you'll start for a long time in a queue. You should also visit on a nice bright day. We were lucky with our visit. We visited at 9.30 on a Saturday. We still had a wait but it was tolerable. Eight euro... More

8 euros to get in, at 10am we only had to queue for about 20 mins. You get to spend as long as you want at the top and a lift takes you up. You can get an audio guide just before you pay the entrance fee. On a clear day the views are awesome!

To get to grips with the surrounding area and make more sense of why Venice is such a labyrinth, pick a sunny day to take the lift to the top. Simply breathtaking, however you want to describe it.

Cost of ?8, no concessions. Was average, maybe having been up many such towers around the world I found it just ok. Viewing area was fairly small, crowded, and with lift the only mode of ascending the tower you don't get the satisfaction of walking all the way up and feeling the reward of the Vista for your efforts.

even though the hight of the tower doesn't allow to see the canals, the view of the city from above is very pleasant. and the view of islands, grand canal and the bay with rather busy traffic of boats and gondolas is simply wonderful

Get to the Campanile di San Marco early (opens 9am but que starts from 830am) or late closes at 7pm to avoid a long wait. View from the top is spectacular with great opportunities for ariel shots of Venice. Well worth the wait. Bell tolls on the hour - very special to be in the tower at that time.
