What you’ll do

Built on over 100 small islands in northern Italy, Venice is one of the most unique cities we have ever visited. There are no roads for vehicles, just canals and narrow walking streets lined with charming shops and stunning architecture.

This 1-day itinerary is the exact route we followed to beat the crowds, see as much as possible, and stop in at all the best pizza-by-the-slice and gelato shops in Venice. Think of it as a self-guided walking food tour with all the best sights and photo spots thrown in!

Note that we were at the first stop for 7 AM, which REALLY helped with the crowds.
