Gaze at Venice from up above

Watch the world go by from Loggia dei Cavalli, one of the best locations to admire beautiful Venice. Situated on the balcony of the St. Mark's Basilica, the observation platform provides scenic views over the water and the bustling St. Mark's Square, making it a must-visit while in the city.

Loggia dei Cavalli, also known as the Balcony of Horses, has received its name from the renowned statue of the Horses of St. Mark. Often referred to as The Quadriga, the bronze statue was situated in the balcony in the 13th century when it was brought from Constantinopole after a crusade.

No prior preparation is needed before heading towards the viewpoint at Loggia dei Cavalli, however, get ready to battle some stairs. Nevertheless, the sight is worth the effort!
