Why we featured this post
Venice rewards anyone who steps off the main route, and this guide shows how. It covers the big sights, from St. Mark's Basilica and the Doge's Palace, with its Secret Itinerary tour, to the Rialto Market and the Peggy Guggenheim Collection. The best tips are the local ones: cross the Grand Canal by traghetto for €2, eat cicchetti standing at a bacaro, and take a gondola through the quiet canals of Cannaregio or Castello. Go early or stay late to miss the day-tripper crowds, and book the main sights ahead.
