TOURING TACTICS
Best Places to Visit in Venice described below include the most popular tourist attractions in Veneto. Although we have focused on monuments, piazzas and historic Venice, take some to walk through this city's lesser-known neighborhoods to understand the magic of Venice.
If interested in a gondola ride, consider taking one outside of the tourist core of Venice. Great views elsewhere in the city and cost of a gondola ride decrease with increasing distance from St. Mark's.
The restaurants in Venice's neighborhoods often serve meals far superior to those you will find in many of the eateries located in the core tourist areas.
Crowds and lines at the city's most popular attractions can be a time-waster in summer and you might want to consider using Select Italy to purchase a museum pass for all of Venice's civic museums. It is easiest to preorder your tickets before leaving on your trip.
Most visitors to Venice are day-trippers or on tours, so if you are staying in Venice, head for the attractions early in the morning or later in the day to avoid the crowds.Walking is the best way to see the city, but impractical due to the long distances between bridges.
The vaporetti (waterbuses) travel along the Grand Canal and can help to cut distances between the places you might want to visit. Pick up a free vaporetti map to scout out where you can pick-up or disembark the waterbuses.
The Grand Canal winds through Venice connecting all major attractions, but there are only three bridges crossing it - at the train station, the Rialto Bridge and the Accademia Bridge. When you are between bridges and need to get from one side of the Grand Canal to the other, consider hopping a “traghetto”, a low cost gondola that ferries between the banks of the Grand Canal.
