This three-day itinerary covers major landmarks along Venice's canals. It begins with St. Mark's Basilica and the Doge's Palace, continues to the Rialto Bridge and market, and concludes with the Salute church and Peggy Guggenheim Collection. The daily order follows a path through connected neighborhoods to keep travel between sites short.
Three days covers the main sights if you move between locations each morning. Book timed entries for the Doge's Palace and Scuola Grande di San Rocco at least one week ahead.
Reserve online tickets with a set entry time to skip the main queue. A standard ticket costs 25 euros and includes access to the palace and prisons.
A 72-hour pass costs about €45 and covers all main routes including trips to the islands. Buy it at the airport or Piazzale Roma if you plan more than four rides.
Reach the basilica entrance by 8:45 to clear security before the 9:30 opening. Combine the visit with a same-day Doge's Palace ticket to save time on the same square.
