Keep walking alongside any of the canals and you'll find they all lead to the mall's star attraction: a replica of st and you'll mark's square at twilight under a painted italian sky! here there are more performances of singers, actors and musicians and a marketplace selling souvenirs of venice including carnival masks and costumes and pretty venetian glass from murano. before you leave the square, there's one thing you really must do to complete your day: experience a true tradition of venice and take a ride on gondola! the gondolas glide from st mark's square for half a mile along the canals, giving you a tour of the mall by water. all of this should inspire you to take a trip to the real venice one day.. i know it's definitely inspired me!
