🌅 Morning: 📍 Piazza San Marco: Best visited between 8-9 AM – fewer crowds, perfect for photos!

Great shots from the small pier in front. 📍 Doge’s Palace (1 hr) 📍 Saint Mark’s Basilica (30 min-1 hr) 📍 St. Mark’s Campanile (30 mins-1 hr): Lines are crazy long! Book tickets online 📱 and reserve a time slot. 🍽️ Lunch at Caffè Florian: A must-visit! Opened 300+ years ago 🎩 – feels like a mini-museum with gorgeous paintings and waiters in sharp suits. No reservations – just go! 🌆 Afternoon: 📍 Teatro La Fenice (1 hr): Buy tickets on-site. Survived 3 fires 🔥 – literally reborn like a phoenix! 📍 Basilica di Santa Maria della Salute: Free entry (30 mins) 📍 Ponte dell’Accademia: Overlooks the Grand Canal – but sunset isn’t visible here 😅 (buildings block the view). 📍 Ponte di Rialto: Vibrant market 🛍️, street performances, and actually a great sunset spot! Super popular for golden hour photos. 🌇 🚗 Transport: Walking is key 🚶‍♀️ on the main island. Use water buses (vaporetto) for longer distances. 🧳 Luggage: Store bags at your hotel if possible. Apps like UseBounce, LuggageHero, and Stasher also offer storage options. 👗 What to Wear: Northern Italy in November is chilly – around 5°C to 12°C ❄️.
