Torre Dell'Orologio Tour - Venice's Clock Tour

In the Piazza San Marco is the historic clock tower, called Torre Dell'Orologio. THe clock face tells more than just the time, it also tells the location of the moon and the sun as the location of the moon in astrological signs. Pretty cool huh?

Well, you can also tour the inside of the clock tower by scheduling a Torre Dell'Orologio Tour ahead of time or heading to the Musei Civici Venezia at the far end of San Marco and purchasing a tour ticket there.

Tours are guided and are only held in English at certain hours on certain days (make sure you schedule one of those!).
