圣乔治马焦雷岛

圣乔治钟楼和圣马可广场遥遥相对，但要坐船或者汽艇前往，这里在一个独立的小岛，游客比圣马可广场少了好多，可以静静欣赏钟楼的美，最妙的是这里登顶可以俯瞰威尼斯，可以步行上去也可以电梯，不怎么排队的。

逛完这个都三点多了，根据前一天的经验，4点左右就要开始日落，所以小伙伴们又一次奔去San Giorgio岛想看日落和威尼斯全景，请原谅一个去到一个城市定要登高望远的人的执念……可是！到了岛上绕了一圈都没能发现可以登上钟楼或者是塔，anyway，最高处的通道，后来问了几个慈祥的老太太，被告知那钟楼早已无法上去，还被调侃我们这些慕名而来的人总是别人说什么就信什么。。晴天霹雳……上一张我们妄图登上但未果的高处：

从圣马可乘坐小汽船很快就能到圣乔治(只要你找到正确的汽船!)圣乔治非常值得来。在圣马可经历了所有的喧嚣之后,这里相对来说比较安静,有一很漂亮的教堂,景色优美的海港,从钟楼上望出去还能看到美丽的景色——登钟楼也不用排队等很长时间。有一部电梯,没有台阶,所以登楼还比较容易。360度的全景非常壮观,这里真的是欣赏威尼斯景色的好地方,还能听到悦耳的钟声,如果在那儿的时候正好遇到鸣钟。教堂旁边还有一件非常简单的室外小咖啡厅,没有什么特别的,不过价格很便宜,服务很友好,而且还能欣赏美景!

这座教堂很漂亮,我们很熟悉圣马可广场的风景,值得参观。从咸水湖到圣马可广场五分钟的汽艇,不仅能看见很美的风光而且还可以得到远离城市喧嚣的平静。教堂里外都很很漂亮,有很多艺术作品,尤其是挂在圣坛上的。最好的是钟楼,可以带你在很短的时间到达顶端,看见很棒的城市、周围岛屿、花园和跟教堂相接的步道院的风景,很漂亮。

No steps (elevator), no line, just a few Euors and a great views. Easy to get to on the water bus and then easy to get to St. Marks.

Well worth the choppy voyage on the vaporetto. Set apart from the busy Piazza San Marco is this peaceful and beautiful basilica.. A visit up the bell tower grants spectacular views of the laguna.

Definitely worth the short trip across from St Marks Square for the wonderful view from the tower - a beautiful vantage point of Venice and there won't be huge queues!

Just a few minutes across from St Marks and definately worth a visit. The 360 views from the top of the campanaile are fantastic, it is worth the 6 euro fee, choose a good weather day.

Take the water bus to the other side to get a great view of Venice. Nothing great to see inside San Giorgio Maggiore, but this side of the island is very quiet and nice to experience. Spend an hour walking through the quiet streets to escape the tourist.

The church is amazing but for six Euros you can go up in a lift to the top of the bell tower and look out over a 360 degree view of Venice and outlying islands.

we went before sun set it was absolutely amazing view u could see all Venice and san't marks square the view is astonishing we when to the tower in the San Giorgio good news is got left,, if u get chance visit it will not take long with water taxi

To me the debate is which is the best view. St Marks from San Giorgio or vice versa. I think I'd go for San Giorgio looked at between the gondolas in front of St Marks.

We popped over to San Giorgio to climb the bell tower. Turns out it's a lift - thank goodness! The view is amazing. You get to see all the islands, the lagoon and the mountains and the entire geography of the area. And the advantage of this over San Marco is that you get to see San Marco! No queues, hardly any people - but it was February...

Only a few minutes on the Canal Bus from St Marks Square. Great views of the city and lagoon, no queues or waiting time and only 5 euros to go up the tower.

The view from the Island here is probably the best in all of Venice. AND there are pretty much no crowds relative to St Marks and the like
