🕰️ Light makes Venice unforgettable — here’s how to chase the glow.
Venice was made for photographers. But the light? That’s what makes it sing.
🟡 Golden Hour — The warm, soft light after sunrise and before sunset.
📍 Best spots:
San Giorgio Maggiore from Riva degli Schiavoni
Campo Santa Maria della Salute for reflections and domes
Giudecca facing Dorsoduro and Zattere
🔵 Blue Hour — The cooler, cinematic light just before sunrise and just after sunset.
📍 Best spots:
Rialto Bridge (before the day begins)
Punta della Dogana for silhouettes
Fondamenta Nove with lantern lights and lagoon mist
📸 Tip: Bring a tripod or use fast primes. This is the time Venice glows without filters.
