Millions of tourists flock to the iconic St Mark’s Square every year to explore the Basilica of Saint Mark, wander the Halls of Doges Palace and sip spritz on one of the city’s most picturesque squares. It’s the only piazza in the whole of Venice and also its lowest point, floating just 90 cm above sea level. The square sits at the end of the Grand Canal, the city’s main and most-photographed waterway.
