One of the many islands of Venice, San Giorgio is small, and dominated by the San Giorgio Maggiore church, famous example of Palladio renaissance architecture.
The church has paintings inside, mostly by Tintoretto, and a choir with nicely carved wooden benches. But the main attraction to see is the campanile or bellfry. After buying your ticket, a monk takes you to the elevator, and accompanies you up the tower. The views over the city, San Marco, the canals, the bridges, the islands, San Giorgio itself, the theatre, Giudecca, the many ships sailing the Venetian waters: you can easily spend a long time watching Venetian life go by at your feet. Unfortunately, I visited San Giorgio on a weekday and it was not possible to take a tour of the monastery, so I continued to Giudecca after looking around the church and the port.
