You may be wondering if you are planning on a trip to Venice, Italy what is there to see? Well hopefully I have already given you some ideas already however I think a good list is in order here.
Here is my list in no particular order of some of the top sights to see while staying in Venice.
- Doges Palace
- St Marks Basilica (and St. Mark’s Square)
- St. Mark’s Campanille
- Harry’s Bar
- Palazzo Dandolo
- La Fenice Theater
- The Accademia Gallery
- Peggy Guggenheim Museum
- Santa della Maria Salute Church
- Campo Santa Margherita
I am not going to number these sights as each and every person has their particular preference for what they want to see whenever they visit a city. However a visit to Venice will not be complete unless you go to each and every one of these places in my opinion.
Also since these are the most visited parts of Venice keep in mind there will be crowds of tourists in the area and you will not get a true taste of the city if you only hang out in these areas. Rather it is much better to find out where the locals go to for fun and see where they hang out. This is the only way to get a feel for the true city of Venice and not what they show to the public.

I have many great memories of Venice as a child back in the early 1960’s. My father was in the U.S. Air Force and we lived in Vicenza Italy which was about 40 miles or so from Venice. We went there quite often. At the time I was really too young to appreciate all that I saw and experienced. I used to take for granted where I was at. The only thing I was ever interested in was riding the aqua taxi and where I could get my next scoop of gelato. Great blog you have here……..brings back many many memories from so long ago in a timeless city.

Thank you for your kind words on my blog. I am trying my best with it but I know there is significant room for improvement. Hopefully I can get my free ebook released soon on this city that has all the information I have written so far plus much more.

I would love to go to Venice again. I was there 10 years ago for 3 days but I haven’t seen all that beautifull places. I want to go again this summer and I hope I will have enough money.
