Visibility Tradeoffs for the Campanile

Safety and Comfort Checklist

• Shoes with grip for wet stone.
• Compact umbrella only.
• Layering for wind near open viewpoints.

On rainy days, interior mosaics often outperform skyline views for overall experience quality.

Bottom Line

St. Mark's remains highly rewarding in wet weather when you run an indoor-first plan and treat tower views as conditional.
