Top-Rated Tourist Attractions in Venice In a city as loaded up with vacation destinations as Venice, it’s difficult to tell where to start. Maybe the most ideal way is to just get lost for a couple of hours meandering through its captivating little roads and ways, walking around its trenches, and tracking down its mysterious corners. Every step of the way, you’ll see something worth recollecting with a photograph. Regardless of where this investigation takes you, it’s not difficult to track down your direction back to Piazza San Marco and the Grand Canal. The vast majority of the best sights you’ll need to visit lie around these two milestones. 1. St. Mark’s Basilica

St. Mark’s Basilica Venice is partitioned into six sestieri, neighborhoods that have unmistakably various characters. San Marco is the focal one, encircled on three sides by an extraordinary circle in the Grand Canal. Across Rialto Bridge is the craftsmans’ neighborhood of San Polo, and across the Grand Canal toward the south is sleek Dorsoduro, with its esteemed workmanship galleries and enthusiastic squares. 2. Piazza San Marco (St. Mark’s Square) At the external edges are Santa Croce, Castello, and Cannaregio, home of the first Ghetto. Past the six sestieri – neighborhoods – of the actual


city, you’ll need to jump on board a vaporetto to its islands: Lido, Murano, Burano, and Torcello. A fourth island, San Giorgio Maggiore, merits visiting for the wonderful perspectives on San Marco and Venice from the pinnacle of its congregation.
