San Marco dates back to the 13 the century and is considered as the one place that connected central Europe due to the presence of The Piazza San Marco in Venice, which served as an important trading center where traders would congregate from lands as far as Egypt and India to trade in spices, precious metals and exotic foods.

Flights to Italy are easily available; choices include Emirates Airlines and European airlines such as British Airways, since there aren’t any direct flights to Venice from North America. However, for you to get to San Marco, you’ll have to catch a flight to Marco Polo airport, and then a water taxi to Venice. These are gorgeous boats that get you to your San Marco destination the old-fashioned and Bella Italia way.
