The basilica is absolutely beautiful inside. The byzantine mosaics covering the interior are so intricate. This basilica is all about Byzantine mosaics and architecture. Be sure to check out the main atrium, simply a must see!! Three additional sights are in the Basilica: San Marco Museum, Treasury, and Golden Altarpiece. No Admission.

Tips:

• It is worth the admission to go upstairs. Not only do you get a much better view of the mosaics, you also get access to the outside loggia (balcony) where the bronze horses are located. The view of Piazza San Marcos from here is stunning, make sure you have your camera. Highly recommended.
  
• I’ve heard there might be Fashion Police requiring semi-formal attire
