San Marco Bascilica Reservation
I read that you could get a 10 or 15 minute reservation to go into the Bascilica. The site I was given does not work. Does anyone know anything about this? Thanks for your help. Jeanne

Jessica,
This is the site I did use. The screen is white and it says "closure". I am looking for October 16 or 17. I then checked for December as a test and got the same screen. I don't know what to do. Thanks, Jeanne

The line was very long every day we were there in July, also. I'm glad to hear they are shorter in October since that is when we are going back. Now I don't feel like I necessarily have to make a reservation as I previously thought.

We made a reservation for a visit in June (also - a huge line) for the first opening of the day. It was great because we entered before it got mobbed - and had some amount of privacy before they were able to fill the bascilica. In winter (early December) there were no lines at all.

jeno, I see what you mean. I went through the whole process and entered 16-10-2005, and got a white grid for the month of October, which meant "Closure" according to the legend.
Perhaps the contributors that said it worked for them only went to the first page or two.
I am however, of the opinion that the lines will be shorter in October as opposed to June, July and August.

We went in June & the queue was always extremely long, at least 1 or 2 hours I'd guess - even half an hour before opening. Pre-booking was the best tip we had. Although we went at 13.05 there were still very few people in there, so they must only let in very few at a time.
