The brilliant white marble façade of the Church of San Giorgio Maggiore is distinctive but what lies inside is even more impressive. Head to the heart of the church and gaze at marvellous paintings by Tintoretto such as the ‘Ultima Cena’ (The Last Supper) and ‘Raccolta Della Manna’ (The Fall Of Manna). Admire the three inner gardens with one labyrinth bearing the name of Jorge Luis Borges, inspired by his book ‘The Garden of Forking Paths’ and relax under the four cypresses in another garden.

Make for the 60-meter bell tower and be spellbound by the view of Venice, the lagoon, and other islands. Bring along your camera and most important of all, your eyes and an appreciation for the panoramic views which are unforgettable!
