Things to do in Venice

Everything in the Atlas for Venice: places to see and things to do, in one list.

Basilica di San Marco

Eight thousand square metres of gold mosaic over a Byzantine plan, on a floor that undulates with the subsidence.

Church · 1 hour

Gallerie dell'Accademia

Five centuries of Venetian painting where it was painted, including Giorgione's Tempest.

Museum · 2 hours

Torcello

The lagoon's first settlement, now nine residents and a cathedral with mosaics older than Venice itself.

Island · half a day

Cicchetti and an ombra

Small plates and a small glass of wine at a bàcaro, standing, moving on after one — the Venetian version of an aperitivo.

Food & table · low

This page exists because Venice has at least 3 of them in the Atlas. Destinations with fewer do not have a page for this, on purpose — a facet with one or two entries is a heading with a list under it that you could have read in full on the page you came from. Back to Venice.
