What Is The Venice Art Guide?

The ‘Venice Art Guide’ app gives directions to and detailed descriptions of over one hundred buildings in Venice, focusing on the hundreds of masterpieces that can be seen inside.

Experienced by the Author

The author has visited dozens of sites around Venice and has chosen 'highlights' for you to pick from, including buildings you can enter free of charge. Did you know that you can visit the last work by the great Giovanni Bellini in a small church off a crowded street, for free?
