The Contarini del Bovolo Palace dates back to the 15th century and there you will find a spiral staircase that takes you to a gallery where you can enjoy an incredible view of the Venetian roofs and even St Mark's Campanile, there I spent a few minutes contemplating the beautiful view of the surrounding houses beyond the Renaissance architecture of the palace. The service was quick and everyone was attentive, even buying the ticket through the app it will still be necessary to present it at the reception to collect the physical ticket, nothing that bothered me.

The Scala Contarini del Bovolo is a beautiful example of Renaissance architecture and it was amazing that it’s so well preserved that visitors are allowed to climb to the top! The stairs are beautiful and the view is impressive. Seeing all the terra cotta tile rooftops was very cool.

This beautiful piece of architecture is hidden of the beaten track, Its not on the list of the top attractions in Venice but it’s well worth a visit. Buying advanced tickets is great & getting there just before they open is advisable as there were very few tourists. The climb to the top of the magnificent staircase is worth it to the look out on the amazing views of the rooftops & St Marks Campanile. Perfect pictures for your Instagram! An amazing trip & well recommended.
