While St. Mark’s Basilica, the Doge’s Palace, and the Rialto Bridge are must-sees, confining your itinerary to these famous spots can mean missing out on Venice’s more serene and authentic experiences.

The city is made up of various neighborhoods (sestieri) each with its own charm. Explore areas like Cannaregio, Dorsoduro, and Castello to discover hidden gems, quaint cafes, and local artisan shops away from the tourist crowds.
