1. Doge's Palace

Doge's Palace is a palace built in Venetian Gothic style, which served as the residence of the Doge of Venice, the supreme authority of the former Republic of Venice. In ancient times, only noblemen were allowed to enter here; but now it has been opened up to tourists so that everyone can admire its beauty.

In ancient times, only noblemen were allowed to enter here; but now it has been opened up to tourists so that everyone can admire its beauty.

The palace is composed of two parts: the Doge's Palace and the Palace of the Doges.

The Palace of the Doges is a set of rooms, where the Doge lived and worked. The palace was built in 1340 and served as a residence for the ruler until 1797. The first part to be built was known as Palazzo Ducale Vecchio, while its extension into what became known as Palazzo Nuovo went through many changes over time.

2. Canal Grande

One of the most popular things to do in Venice is to visit its Grand Canal. The Grand Canal is not only beautiful, but it's also one of the city's most famous waterways. It was built by the Republic of Venice and has been used for centuries as a major thoroughfare for watercraft.

The UNESCO World Heritage Site attracts millions of tourists every year who come to admire its beauty and history. The canal itself is lined with ancient palaces, many of which have been converted into hotels or restaurants that can be rented out by their owners when they're not being lived in by people who live on them part-time or full-time (this is called "living afloat"). Some buildings even have shops on their ground floors where you can buy souvenirs like postcards showing pictures of yourself standing next to your favorite building!

Other attractions along the Grand Canal include Saint Mark's Basilica, Doge's Palace, and Rialto Bridge. All of these can be reached by walking or taking a water taxi. Water taxis are especially popular with tourists because they provide transportation through narrow waterways that are too small for buses or other vehicles.

3. Basilica di San Marco

Founded in 830, the Basilica di San Marco is the largest church in Venice. It is named after Saint Mark, who was responsible for bringing Christianity to the city. Saint Mark's body lies in this church (which is why he's also called the "Patron of Venice").

Located on Piazza San Marco, this UNESCO World Heritage Site was built during the 9th century and has been a major religious center ever since. Its massive marble columns stretch up to 250 feet high and support a ceiling decorated with gold mosaics that depict scenes from Genesis and other Biblical stories.

To get here: Take bus number 1 or 2 from Bacino Orto Vignolo or vaporetto stop San Marco-Fondamenta Nuove; walk north past Campanile di San Marco towards Basilica di San Marco; or take vaporetto line 1 across Grand Canal towards Fondamenta Nuove"

4. Piazza San Marco

Piazza San Marco is one of the most famous squares in all of Europe. At its center is a huge column topped by a statue of St. Mark, Venice's patron saint, and from here you can see the city's stunning architecture as well as enjoy some of Italy's best gelato.

The square was originally built in the 9th century but was destroyed many times over the following centuries until it was rebuilt in 1577 by order of King Philip II of Spain. It was then completely rebuilt again between 1912 and 1926 after being damaged during an earthquake that struck on November 18th, 1902.

Today there are many attractions within the piazza including:

Basilica di San Marco (Basilica Cathedral) - where you will find St Mark's body preserved inside an elaborate tomb made from silver chests filled with gold relics
Palazzo Ducale (Doge's Palace) - where you can visit secret rooms and view paintings dating back to 1310 including works by Tintoretto as well as other great artists such as Titian; also worth seeing inside are paintings by Canaletto who lived nearby when he painted these frescoes for his patron Francesco Alvise Mocenigo III who commissioned this magnificent palace complex; if you want to tour this building then you should book tickets online beforehand because they sell out fast!

5. Teatro La Fenice

If you want to see the best of what the theater has to offer, then consider seeing a show at Teatro La Fenice. This theatre is an architectural masterpiece and is a perfect example of Venetian Baroque architecture. It was built in 1791 by the architect Alessandro Galilei and named after its founder, Giovanni Dolfin. The theatre's ornate interior is decorated with decorative motifs from Greek mythology and other popular themes from classical antiquity. In fact, this theatre was designed with acoustics in mind: it has no pillars or columns obstructing sightlines throughout most parts of the auditorium so that everyone can get a good view regardless of where they sit!

The company La Fenice gives performances here regularly; these are usually operas but also include ballet shows like Swan Lake or Nutcracker Suite performed by renowned dancers from around Europe who have trained at prestigious conservatories such as Royal Ballet School London or École de Danse de Cannes/ Capitale de la Danse Festival de Cannes).

6. Campanile di San Marco

One of the most popular tourist attractions in Venice and a great place for a photo opportunity, Wat Saket is also known as the Golden Mount. It is one of the most important Buddhist temples in Venice and can be found on top of an east-west aligned hill that rises from Phra Sumen Fort.

On your way up to this temple, you will pass through a series of winding staircases lined with vendors selling food and souvenirs. Once you reach the top, look out for views over historic Rattanakosin Island which includes all or part of areas such as Dusit District, Pathum Wan District; Siam Square; Saphan Taksin BTS Station; Lumpini Park Stadium; Charoen Krung Road Market Area; Central World Plaza Mall.

7. Peggy Guggenheim Collection

For art lovers, there's no better place to spend your days than in Peggy Guggenheim Collection. The museum is housed in a 16th-century palazzo and houses works from artists such as Picasso, Pollock, and Rothko. It also stages exhibitions featuring contemporary art from around the world.

The museum itself is nonprofit and run by an independent board of trustees who have no ties with the family of Peggy Guggenheim herself. Besides its permanent collection, which spans works from the 14th century to today, it also hosts special exhibitions that change frequently so you never have to worry about getting bored with your visit here!

8. Cannaregio

Cannaregio is one of the oldest parts of Venice. It's one of the less touristy areas, making it a great choice if you want to escape the crowds.

Cannaregio is home to the Jewish Ghetto, an area where Jews were forced to live during Venetian rule in Italy and Europe. The Jewish Museum offers tours through this historic neighborhood, which are both educational and fascinating.

Cannaregio is also home to a number of wonderful restaurants. For example, there's Ristorante Al Giardinetto da Severino, which specializes in seafood. It has delightful dishes like caviar pizza and Venetian duck.

9. San Giorgio Maggiore

The island of San Giorgio Maggiore is one of the islands in the Venetian lagoon, located only a short distance from Venice. It is an important location for pilgrims and tourists who visit this beautiful city every year to see its famous landmark: The Bridge of Sighs. This site was once used as a prison by the Republic of Venice for political prisoners who were sentenced to death by hanging or drowning at sea. Today, it houses one of Venice's major churches: The Basilica di Santi Giovanni e Paolo (San Zanipolo).

The Basilica is the largest church in Venice and was built in the 12th century. The island of San Giorgio Maggiore can be accessed easily from Venice by ferry, which departs four times daily from Piazzale Roma. The trip takes approximately 30 minutes and costs approximately 2 Euros.

10. Ponte di Rialto

While you're wandering the streets of Venice, it's easy to ignore the fact that the city is built on dozens of islands. There are more than 100 canals and hundreds of bridges, all interconnected by small boats called vaporetti. The oldest bridge in Venice is Ponte di Rialto (Rialto Bridge), which was completed in 1591 and connected two crucial areas: San Polo (in Dorsoduro) with Santa Croce (in Cannaregio). The bridge was originally used only for pedestrians; however, today cars and trucks can cross here as well.

The bridge has been renovated many times since its original construction due to frequent flooding from high tides; today it features three levels: a ground level for vehicles; another above it dedicated entirely to pedestrians; and yet another above where boats travel through an underpass beneath the waterway.
