3 Days In Venice: A Great Itinerary

As the train pulled into the station, I couldn’t believe I was actually in Venice! 

Our 3 days in Venice were the first stop on our summer vacation, including MunichBacharachNuremberg, and London

I wanted to experience all that Venice had to offer but still take the time to enjoy “la dolce vita”, and Marty was determined to give me the Venetian experience I had always dreamed of.

Venice is one of the most beautiful and romantic Italian cities.

Suddenly, I started to question our plans. Was 3 days in Venice enough time?

Our goal was to soak in the romance while discovering the proper, authentic Venice, and I will tell you, my friends, that is precisely what we were able to do. 

I mean, Venice should be on everyone’s couple’s bucket list. Even if you’re trying to do Venice in a day, you can still see several of the great attractions we have listed for you.  

Our 3 days in Venice included exploring the beautiful canals by foot and boat, eating incredible food, stopping at every intriguing alleyway for photographs, sipping wine, meeting locals, and even doing some day trips from Venice.

    3 Days in Venice Itinerary: Getting To Venice

    Train from Milan to Venice

    We arrived in Venice by train from Milan to begin our 3 days in Venice.  If you are arriving by train when you visit Venice, make sure you travel to the Venezia Santa Lucia station, as this is the train station on the island.  

    We hopped off the train at the Santa Lucia station, giddy with excitement.  The minute we exited the train station, I just stopped and stared in amazement at the floating city.  Venice was even better than I expected.

    When you exit the train station, take a minute to soak in all the sights, sounds, and smells around you.

    Welcome to Venice!  

    Seeing the canals for the first time brought tears to my eyes.  I think I instantly fell in love with Venice.

    After standing in awe and watching Marty snap like 100 photos, we decided to go and find our bed and breakfast.  

    We purchased a 3-day pass for the water taxi. After validating it in the yellow validation box, we boarded the water taxi (Vaporetto) and began our journey on the Venice canals. 

    At this very moment, I was also thankful that Marty and I only traveled with a backpack and that I followed an excellent backpacking Europe packing list so that I don’t have to carry luggage over all of these bridges!

    Marco Polo Airport

    If you are flying into Venice, you will land at Marco Polo Airport. You have several options to transfer from Marco Polo Airport to Venice while you visit Venice.

    Taking the bus from Marco Polo Airport to Venice is an economical way to make your transfer. There are two bus options. You can take the ATVO express bus, which departs every 30 minutes and drops you off at Piazzale Roma, or the #5 ACTV bus, which departs every 15 minutes to Piazzale Roma.

    You can also take the water bus (Alilaguna) if you want a more scenic transfer. Remember that this option takes more than twice as long as the bus.

    Your third option from the Venice Marco Polo Airport is to take a water taxi. This is for sure the most expensive option, but you get the benefit of seeing Venice from the water without slowing down the water bus.

    Where to Stay in Venice

    There are so many great places to stay while you visit Venice.  For this trip, we opted for a bed and breakfast that we found on Airbnb, Ca Bella. 

    We love ‘living like the locals when we are traveling, and Ca Bella sounded perfect for us. 

    Following the directions provided by our wonderful host, we found our way to our home for the next few days, Ca Bella, a little 3-room bed and breakfast on the north side of the island.  

    We felt like we were living like the locals in this area, genuinely soaking in Venetian life.

    We walked down this cute alleyway and then were invited into the small garden of Ca Bella.

    If you prefer to stay in the heart of the action, then you might consider staying in the San Polo neighborhood. The San Polo neighborhood contains some of Venice’s top attractions, including the Rialto Bridge.

    Another bustling area is the San Marco Square neighborhood. The San Marco Square area is filled with luxury shops and luxury accommodations. However, St. Mark’s Square is very touristy and often very crowded. If you are looking for a more authentic stay, you probably don’t want to stay in St. Mark’s Square.

    The Campo Santa Margherita neighborhood of Venice is where you want to be if you are an art lover. Campo Santa Margherita is home to street artists, painters, sculptors, and students, giving this area an authentic artsy vibe.

    If you prefer a hotel, here are some of our recommendations:

    Hotel Palazzo Stern– This boutique hotel converted from a palazzo is a great place that is centrally located but far enough away to avoid some of the crowds.  Close to the Vaporetto and attractions, this makes a great home base for exploring Venice.

    Hotel Mercurio Venezia– A more budget-friendly option is the Hotel Mercurio Venezia.  You’re bound to enjoy your stay here within walking distance of all the attractions, a great breakfast, and rooms overlooking the canals.

    Of course, if you visit Venice during the off-season, you are more likely to save money on your accommodations.

    After checking into Ca Bella, we walked down to the water by the Fondamente Nove Vaporetto stop and found a great place to have pizza and wine.

    After dinner, the sun was starting to set, so we just wandered along the water’s edge.  We were content to take photos and enjoy watching Venice’s sunset.

     The perfect start to our Venice itinerary.

    3 Days in Venice

    Day 1 of Your Venice Itinerary:  Grand Canal Tour, Piazza San Marco, Campanile San Marco, Doge’s Palace

    We were refreshed and excited to start our first full day in Venice. Our B&B included breakfast, so we sat in the cute little garden drinking coffee and munching croissants (with Nutella, of course) to fuel up for the day.

    Today we will embark on a Grand Canal Tour and visit San Marco Piazza, Saint Mark’s Basilica, and Doge’s Palace, located in Piazza San Marco.

    There are loads of attractions around Piazza San Marco, and much of our day will be spent there.

    While here, you can visit several museums, the church, the palace, and more!

    Take A Grand Canal Tour

    On day 1 of our 3 days in Venice, Marty and I decided to get a feel for the island today.  Our first order of business was a Grand Canal tour.  

    Since we had already purchased and validated our Vaporetto ticket yesterday, we were ready to go.

    Cruising the Grand Canal on your Venice itinerary is an excellent orientation to the city.  

    Start your cruise at the Ferrovia (Santa Lucia train station) stop and board Vaporetto #1 or #2.  the #1 is the slow boat which takes about 45 minutes to make its way to San Marcos, while the #2 boat is the express boat and can make the journey to San Marcos in about 25 minutes.

    Being on the Grand Canal is indescribable.  Everywhere you look, there are grand palaces and fabulous canal-side cafes.  

    My favorite sights included:  the Rialto Bridge, Mercato Rialto, Ca’Rezzonico, the Accademia Bridge, the Bridge of Sighs, and Salute.  Marty was in shutterbug heaven.  I don’t remember him coming out from behind his lens during the trip.  

    As you’re cruising, look closely, and you will see that many old palaces look empty.  Look even closer, and you may notice several underwater ground floors!  The cost of upkeep, coupled with the fact that owners are not allowed to make changes to the buildings make them less appealing to some buyers.

    The Vaporetto is the cheapest way to cruise the Grand Canal.  If you would prefer a more personal experience, with the joy of missing all the stops, I recommend you book a private tour of the canals.

    Visit The Piazza San Marco

    We got off of the vaporetto at Saint Mark’s Square, Piazza San Marco.  

    Take note, if you want to do a gondola ride in Venice, it is beautiful in this area!

    When you arrive at Piazza San Marco, take a deep breath and hang onto your partner in this area.  You will indeed be instantly engulfed by a wave of people, specifically tour groups, if you are at San Marco in the summer like we were.

    Making our way through the crowds and, of course, stopping for a few shots in front of The Bridge of Sighs, we made it to Saint Mark’s Square, San Marco.

    Music filled San Marco from the overpriced cafes, and people sat all around on the marble stairs while selfie sticks and pigeons abounded.  

    I was standing in awe, looking at the splendor and history of the only square in Venice to earn the title of “Piazza.”  (Well, I was standing in awe until I fell like a ton of bricks on those slick marble stairs surrounding San Marco Square!)  

    Be warned, my friends, the marble around St. Mark’s Square is slippery when wet.  I think I fractured my tailbone and wrist.)

    Also, note that most of the restaurants in this area are typical tourist trap restaurants. You will pay high prices for mediocre food and service.

    Take In The Beauty Of St. Mark’s Basilica

    St. Mark’s Basilica is a must-visit during your time in Venice.

    Built during the 12th century, the Basilica di San Marco stands prominently in St. Mark’s Square. Crowned by a spire that is 99 meters high, the beautiful Basilica di San Marco is a crown jewel of the city.

    You can tour the interior to see the countless artwork pieces inside. One piece that should undoubtedly be on your Venice itinerary is the 8000 square meters of mosaic art. The mosaic of the Virgin Mary is truly breathtaking.

    St. Mark’s Basilica often has a very long line to enter the church, so we recommend purchasing your tickets to St. Mark’s Basilica in advance.

    You can get your St. Mark’s Basilica tickets here.

    Check Out The Views From The Campanile di San Marco

    The Campanile di San Marco is the St. Mark’s Square bell tower.

    Towering some 98.6 meters above St. Mark’s Square, the Campanile di San Marco that you see before you today was constructed in 1912 after the original bell tower collapsed in 1902.

    Today, you can go to the top of St. Mark’s bell tower to see some magnificent views of St. Mark’s Square, the city, and the Venetian lagoon.

    Explore Doge’s Palace (Palazzo Ducale) and Correr Museum

    Doge's Palace-2 days in Venice

    After scraping myself (and my pride) up off the ground, Marty and I decided to tour Doge’s Palace, also called the Palazzo Ducale, during our 3 days in Venice.  We wanted to do the Secret Itineraries Tour of Doge’s Palace, but it was sold out.  

    Don’t let this happen to you.  Be sure and book your tours ahead of time.  Everyone we talked to who took the Secret Itineraries Tour loved it.

    Since we missed the tour, we purchased a combo ticket for Doges and the Correr Museum.  To avoid the long lines, buy your ticket at the Correr, located in the corner of the square opposite the basilica.

    Doge’s Palace was built to show off the power and wealth of Venice, and boy, did they succeed.  Of course, the tour’s highlight was the famous Bridge of Sighs.

    The Bridge of Sighs is where prisoners cross on their way to prison.

    The story states that the prisoners would take one last look at their beloved Venice and the beautiful Adriatic Sea, and sigh as they crossed the bridge, thus the name The Bridge of Sighs, the Ponte dei Sospiri.  

    I love this shot taken from inside the bridge, showcasing what the prisoners saw looking out onto glorious Venice.  

    I would probably do more than sigh if I were being hauled off to prison.

    The Doge’s Palace is a must for your Venice itinerary!

    After leaving Doge’s Palace, we visited the museum on the other side of San Marco Square.

    This museum houses a nice collection of Venetian history and art and is home to incredible views of Saint Mark’s Square.  I felt the Correr was well worth our time and was a nice escape from the summer heat.

    Having worked up an appetite, we headed to Calle de la Rasse (a couple of blocks from Doge’s Palace).  This street is lined with quick, cheap eats.  

    For lunch, we chose Birreria Forst for a sandwich and some much-needed water.  We spent the rest of the evening just wandering the streets of Venice.  We had a fantastic first day and were already in love with this great city.

    Of course, we had to grab some gelato on the way back to Ca Bella!

    Why not check out the Leonardo da Vinci Museum if you have extra time?

    3 Days in Venice Day 2: Rialto Bridge and Market, Burano/Murano, and Cicchetti

    Check Out The Famous Rialto Bridge (Ponte di Rialto)

    On day 2 of our 3 days in Venice itinerary, we got up early to see The Rialto Market in full swing.  

    The Erberia (vegetable market) and the Pescheria (fish market) are open Tuesday through Saturday starting at 8 am and usually close up around noon.

    We chose to walk to the market because Marty is my navigational wizard.  We only got lost once in Venice because we decided to do so.  Not many people can claim that.

    If you are like me and are a little more directionally challenged, you can take the easy route and hop on a Vaporetto.  Vaporetto lines on the Grand Canal stop at the Rialto, on the left side of the Grand Canal. From the Vaporetto platform, head toward the Rialto Bridge, cross over the Rialto Bridge and then veer to the right.

    The neighborhood that contains the Rialto Bridge and market is the San Polo neighborhood. The San Polo is one of the smallest neighborhoods in Venice but also one of the most crowded.

    The Rialto Market amazed me.  Since 1097, Venetians have depended on the Rialto Market for fresh fruits, veggies, fish, and other food items.

    The Rialto Fish Market was something to see for sure. Seeing all the fresh fish at Rialto Market made me want to buy one to cook for dinner. Don’t miss it!

    Arriving early allows you have a glimpse of all the action.  At the crack of dawn, you will see vendors unloading crates of fruits and vegetables from boats on the waterways, all while delivery men push carts through the crowds of people.  Trust me, buy yourself some fresh fruit.  It is delicious!

    Day Trip from Venice:  Burano and Murano

    After a lovely morning at the market, we spent the rest of the day exploring the islands around Venice, specifically Burano and Murano. Friends, you can’t spend 3 days in Venice and not visit the Venetian islands.

    We chose to use our Vaporetto passes to get to the islands, but trust me, the Vaporetto to Burano is a SLOW ride; it took about an hour.  Next time I go, I will book a tour of Burano and Murano.

    Arriving at the tiny island of Burano, we were instantly drawn to the colorful fishermen’s houses.  The houses were initially painted these bright colors so sailors arriving home could easily see their houses through the fog as they approached the island.

    Today, these colors are “protected,” and residents must keep their houses a certain color.

    We found Burano to be incredibly charming.  There are beautiful lace shops, some with demonstrations of lace making, lining the main street.

    A lace museum is also on the island, but it was closed the day we visited.  

    Take some time to wander and enjoy Burano.  Eat at the cafes and try the delicious desserts available.  Burano is a feast for all of your senses.

    After leaving Burano, we hopped back on the boat and headed for the nearby island of Murano.  

    Murano is famous for its beautiful glasswork, dubbed Murano glass.  While exploring the island, we met a nice shop owner who explained the process and showed us some of his pieces of Murano glass.  

    He and his family have lived on the island for generations, practicing traditional glass blowing and creating beautiful works of Murano glass art.

    Of course, seeing a glass-blowing demonstration is also a must during your time in Murano. Glass-blowing demonstrations are happening all over the island, so be sure and check one out.

    Be sure to visit the glass museum while on the island of Murano also.

    We had such a fun time visiting these islands.  Next time we will check out all of the day trips from Venice.

    Indulge In Cicchetti and Spritz

    Exhausted, we returned to Venice to enjoy a relaxing evening.  We decided to try some Cicchetti and spritz tonight. What the heck is Cicchetti, you ask?  

    You can find small bites all over Venice at the local bars.  Think of them like tapas in Spain.

    Take note; the Cicchetti selection is best early.  Think of it as an appetizer and drink before dinner at the Venice restaurants (or just a cheap, early dinner).  

    I preferred the crostini topped with prosciutto and melon, while Marty liked the deep-fried cheese.

    One thing we both liked was the spritz!  For me, the spritz was the highlight of the evening.  A spritz is made with prosecco and Aperol, a bitter alcohol.  It’s this gorgeous orange color and is truly like a party in your mouth.  

    I found the spritz refreshing on a hot summer day in Venice.  If you don’t think the spritz is right for you, order a glass of house wine or a beer.  House wine (which I found good) and beer can be found all over the island for 1-2 Euros per glass (4 Euros per liter).

    I loved watching the locals interact during this “happy hour” ritual.  I only wish I had spoken more Italian.

    To make the Cicchetti experience even better, consider taking a food tour and finding some of Venice’s hidden gems!

    We love going on a food tours. We have taken a food tour in Rome, Dublin, Boston, Savannah, and more! They are a great way to be introduced to a region’s local Venetian food and culture since they are usually a walking tour.

    We truly loved some of the Venetian specialties we sampled on our Cicchetti experience.

    3 Days in Venice Day 3:  Shopping, Lido visit, Photo safari

    Day 3 of our 3 days in Venice was a little more chill.  At this point, Marty and I had a good feel for the island and felt very comfortable.

    Go Shopping For Venetian Souvenirs

    What is more Venetian than an authentic Venetian mask?  Just note, buyer, beware!  Many souvenir shops (and some shops that look like genuine mask shops) are selling you imposters made anywhere BUT in Venice. An authentic Venetian mask is a work of art still handmade today with skill and artistry.

    We found a great mask shop, L’artista della Barbaria, close to Ca’Bella.  At L’artista della Barbaria, they still make masks by hand. The owner taught Marty and me the mask-making process and walked us through identifying the differences between an authentic Venetian mask and an imposter.  

    We learned so much, and of course, we walked away with a beautiful souvenir mask that the owner painstakingly wrapped for us so that it wouldn’t get damaged in our backpacks as we continued our travels.

    Of course, another perfect souvenir from Venice is Venetian glass. You can find Venetian glass all over the island, be sure it is authentic before you purchase it.

    Relax With A Day At The Lido (The Beach)

    After mask shopping, Marty and I decided to grab our swimsuits and head for the beach, the Lido.

    The beach is easily accessible by Vaporetto lines 51 or 52.  Upon arrival at Lido island, exit the Vaporetto station and walk straight down the Gran Viale.  Along the way, you will pass cozy sidewalk cafes serving up yummy, reasonably-priced food.  We enjoyed La Pizzeria, which was right by the Vaporetto station. La Pizzeria had great pizza at a reasonable price.  Continuing down Gran Viale, you will eventually wind up at the beach.

    I have to be honest; we did not enjoy this excursion all that much.  Since cars are allowed on the island, the area loses the charm you find in Venice.  

    When we arrived at the beach, I was surprised by how dirty it was.  I knew the sand was gritty, and the beach would be crowded in the summer, but I was not expecting the amount of trash everywhere.

     It was indeed like people didn’t bother to throw anything away.  We looked around and walked back to town, not spending any time on the beach.  It was disappointing.

    I recommend taking a tour or visiting a museum instead of seeing the beach.

    Go On A Photo Safari Through Venice

    After visiting the beach (and not taking any pictures), we allowed ourselves to get lost on the streets of Venice and have a photo safari.  While visiting Venice, don’t be embarrassed to stop and take pictures any and everywhere.  

    I see it as a compliment to the beautiful small island.  I mean, who can resist the charm of Venice and its tiny streets?

    One of the delights of visiting this beautiful island is allowing yourself to explore Venice freely.

    If you don’t want to do a self-guided tour, you can take a guided photo walking tour in Venice if you like. A guided tour provides a local guide to show you some of the most photographic places in the city.

    Of course, when you visit Venice, if you choose to do a gondola ride, this would be an excellent opportunity to snap some photos of the Venetian Lagoon.

    If you are looking for gondola rides in Venice, we recommend planning your gondola rides in less busy areas. This allows you to enjoy the ride with less traffic and people, making it a more pleasurable experience.

    Just note that a gondola ride can be expensive, so be sure you want to spend the money before hopping on board, as this can be a big expense.

    Other Venice Attractions to Consider

    Visit The Santa Maria della Salute

    The Santa Maria della Salute, commonly called the Salute, is a beautiful Roman Catholic Church that is one of the most famous landmarks in Venice.

    Prominently situated on the Grand Canal, the Santa Maria della Salute is easily recognizable for its white stone and incredible dome.

    The pale tinted glass that lines the dome of Santa Maria della Salute gives the interior of the basilica flood the interior with light.

    Santa Maria is free to enter, except for the sacristy.

    Admire Some Modern Art At The Peggy Guggenheim Collection

    Art lovers will want to visit the Peggy Guggenheim Museum while visiting Venice.

    This modern art museum on the Grand Canal is one of the top attractions in Venice.

    The Peggy Guggenheim Collection showcases a vast collection of modern art and hosts events throughout the year.

    Please check their website for operating information.

    Visit Campo San Polo: Venice’s Largest Campo

    The largest campo in Venice, and the second largest public square in Venice, is the Campo San Polo.

    Often frequented by locals, the San Polo district is a great place to spend some quiet time observing what local life in Venice is all about.

    During the summer, it is prevalent to see school-age children playing in the square while their parents visit with one another close by.

    Admire The Church of Santa Maria Assunta

    The Church of Santa Maria Assunta, commonly called the Jesuits church, is a historic church located close to the Fondamenta Nuove.

    The church and bell tower are gorgeous and have historical significance in Venice. Inside, the church has beautiful frescoes for you to consider.

    See The View From The Accademia Bridge

    The Accademia Bridge crosses the Grand Canal on the southern end of Venice. This bridge connects the San Marco district with the Accademia Gallery.

    Standing on the bridge gives you two fabulous views of the Grand Canal in both directions. One side shows the Santa Maria della Salute dome, and the other shows a bend in the river leading toward the Rialto Bridge.

    At first glance, the Accademia Bridge almost seems out of place. You have this imposing wooden bridge in a city made of stone.

    Check Out The Quirky Libreria Acqua Alta

    The Libreria Acqua Alta in Venice is said by many to be “the most beautiful bookstore in the world.”

    When you visit the Libreria Acqua Alta, you will first notice the unique way they display their book. I mean, seeing books stored in bathtubs, waterproof bins, and even a full-size gondola.

    You might be wondering why they stack their books this way. Well, in a city prone to flooding, like Venice, you have to get creative if you want to protect your precious paper books.

    When the local waterways rise, the bookstore is known to fill up with inches of water, thus their creative display techniques.

    Stand On The Ponte del Diavolo (Devil’s Bridge)

    Head to Torcello, one of the oldest islands in the Venetian lagoon, if you want to visit the Ponte del Diavolo during your time in Venice.

    This bridge has an interesting back story, and some say that every year on December 24, the devil appears to get his payment, one black cat.

    Whether you believe the story or not, the bridge is still interesting. The unique shape of the bridge and the fact that it does not have railings caught my attention.

    See The Famous Staircase at the Palazzo Contarini del Bovolo

    The Palazzo Contarini del Bovolo is another palazzo in Venice that is very unique.

    Although small, the Palazzo Contarini del Bovolo is worth visiting and at least snapping a picture in.

    Famous for the external multi-arch spiral staircase called the Scala Contarini del Bovolo, the building itself is picture-perfect.

    Tour the Teatro La Fenice

    The Teatro La Fenice is Venice’s Opera House, and well worth some time while visiting Venice.

    A Venetian landmark since 1792, the Opera House has been rebuilt twice after succumbing to fires.

    You can take a tour of the famous Opera House daily between 9:30 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. to learn about this beautiful venue’s history.

    Of course, you can also check their schedule to see about watching a performance while you are here.

    Final Thoughts on 3 Days in Venice

    Venice is such a magical place that I didn’t want to leave.  Although we only had 3 days in Venice, I felt like we made excellent use of our time. 

    Not only were we able to see so many beautiful sights in Venice, but I felt like we also had time to take things slow and enjoy the beauty surrounding us in this fantastic city. 

    I hope that you find this 3 days in Venice itinerary useful.

      I am so glad you stayed in Venice for a few days. So many people just go on a day trip and miss so much.

      I don't see how they could do that. There is just too much to see and do!

      What a great post! Venice is such a beautiful city. I've only been once, and it was during Carnival, so it was very busy and freezing cold. I would love to get back again when it is a little quieter and warmer to really enjoy everything the city has to offer!

      I've never been to Venice, but was concerned about the tourist crowds as some other commenters mentioned. It still looks magical, though. You packed a lot into a short time!

      Hi Maggie! Thanks for reading our post! The island did get really crowded on days the cruise ships were in port, but we just chose to stay out of the tourist areas on those days and explore other things. I think choosing a place to stay out of the tourist areas helped also. :)

      Looks like you guys had a lot of fun on your 72 hours stay in Venice. This is a very useful information for when one is thinking about a trip to Venice. I almost went there in the mid 90s, but a miscommunication didn't take me there. :-( Maybe I have to go there with my own family.

      Hi Umiko! We had a blast! I hate that a miscommunication made you miss out on such an awesome place. Definitely plan a trip to Venice soon! It's amazing!
