A One-Day Itinerary In Venice, City of Canals
Venice is a stunning city filled with canals, historic architecture, and a unique atmosphere. While one day is not enough to explore all of its wonders, you can still make the most of your visit by focusing on some of the city's highlights. Here's a one-day itinerary to help you experience the best of Venice:
Morning:
Start at St. Mark's Square (Piazza San Marco): Arrive early to beat the crowds and enjoy the peacefulness of this iconic square. Marvel at the stunning architecture, including St. Mark's Basilica, the Doge's Palace, and the Campanile.
St. Mark's Basilica: Head inside St. Mark's Basilica to admire its opulent Byzantine interior. Be sure to climb to the balcony for a panoramic view of the square and the city.
Doge's Palace: Explore the Doge's Palace, which was once the seat of Venetian power. The intricate details of the interior and the Bridge of Sighs are particularly noteworthy.
Breakfast: Grab a coffee and a pastry at one of the cafes in or around St. Mark's Square. Enjoy your breakfast while people-watching and soaking in the ambiance.
Late Morning:
Rialto Bridge: Walk towards the Rialto Bridge, one of Venice's most famous landmarks. Along the way, you'll pass through narrow, charming streets filled with shops selling Venetian masks, glassware, and other souvenirs.
Rialto Market: Explore the vibrant Rialto Market, where locals shop for fresh produce, seafood, and more. It's a great place to experience the daily life of Venetians.
Lunch:
Lunch at a Trattoria: Enjoy a leisurely lunch at a traditional Venetian trattoria. Try some local dishes like risotto, seafood, or pasta.
Afternoon:
Gondola Ride: No visit to Venice is complete without a gondola ride. You can find gondoliers near the Rialto Bridge or St. Mark's Square. Negotiate the price before starting your romantic journey through the canals.
Venetian Architecture: Stroll through Venice's charming neighborhoods, getting lost in the maze of narrow streets (known as "calli"). Admire the unique architecture, colorful buildings, and picturesque canals.
Gelato Break: Treat yourself to some authentic Italian gelato from one of the many gelaterias scattered throughout the city.
Evening:
Dinner: Head to a cozy Venetian restaurant for a delightful dinner. Try local specialties like seafood risotto, squid ink pasta, or a seafood platter.
Nighttime Stroll: Venice takes on a magical atmosphere in the evening. Take a leisurely walk along the canals, perhaps crossing some of the smaller bridges. You'll find that many of the historic buildings are beautifully lit up.
Rialto Bridge at Night: Return to the Rialto Bridge in the evening to see it illuminated, casting a romantic glow over the Grand Canal.
Remember that Venice can be crowded, especially during peak tourist season, so plan your day accordingly and make reservations for dining if possible. This itinerary will give you a taste of Venice's unique charm, but there's so much more to explore if you have more time. Enjoy your day in the City of Canals!

Ciao from Venezia! 🇮🇹 Last time I was here I was a kid, 24 years ago! (😳) You know how usually when you revisit a place you went to as a child you find it’s smaller and less grand than in your memories? Not Venice—it might actually be even more beautiful and magical than I remembered. (Arrived yesterday and spent a full day here today, and then it’s off to Trieste tomorrow, which, as you know, is the main reason for my trip.) Here’s the view of Piazza San Marco from the Bell Tower (last time we didn’t get to go up for some reason—it was probably closed), after a leisurely late lunch outdoors in St. Mark’s Square with live music and plenty of people watching, and before a nighttime gondola ride (last time was during the day) and then dinner on a heated patio along the Canal Grande in view of Ponte di Rialto, all spontaneous and unplanned. More photos from today to come! // (c) Jenny Lam 2024

La Carmagnola, Venice
La Carmagnola is the traditional Venetian name for a porphyry bust of a late Roman emperor, now on the external balustrade of St Mark's Basilica.
The diadem identifies the head as that of an emperor; dated on stylistic grounds between the 4th and 6th centuries, several scholars identify it as a depiction of Justinian. The flattened nose appears to be the result of damage and subsequent repolishing.
The head may have come from the Philadelphion in Constantinople, the original location of the Portrait of the Four Tetrarchs that is now on the Basilica's Piazzetta facade below. It was probably brought to Venice as part of the loot from the Sack of Constantinople, during the Fourth Crusade in 1204.
It has been suggested that a headless porphyry statue kept at the Archiepiscopal Museum in Ravenna belongs to the same original.
The condottiere Francesco Bussone da Carmagnola was beheaded on 5th May 1432 on the Piazzetta, where his head was presumably left exposed for some time, leading to the sculpture's traditional nickname.
