Five things to see/do in Venice: Take a gondola, or vaporetto along the famous Grand Canal, and marvel at the fantastic collection of Renaissance palaces.
St. Mark’s Square (Piazza San Marco) is one of Italy’s most famous squares, with its chic boutiques and cafes, and scores of pigeons.
The two main landmarks on St Mark’s Square are the Saint Mark’s Basilica (Basilica di San Marco), and the Campanile di San Marco (bell tower) where you can take an elevator to the top for a fantastic view of the city.
For a break from the Baroque and Renaissance Art of the city, try the Peggy Guggenheim Collection, which offers an impressive modern/contemporary collection.
The Teatro La Fenice is Venice’s grand opera house. Housed in a beautiful 18th century building, the opera house offers visitors audio-guides, as well as a chance to listen in on a rehearsal.
