1.The Doge's Palace -- It's ornate, and very interesting. This was where the Doge (the Duke, the ruler of Venice) lived. Don't miss it. You can wander at will through the palace.
2.St. Mark's Basilica -- Here's a travel tip -- visit here at noon, when the interior lights are turned on for an hour. You'll have to wait in line for this one, but you will have the best view of the ornate interior. The rest of the time it's sort of dark and gloomy.
3.The gondolas -- They're everywhere, on the big canals and on the side canals. Especially during peak tourist times, you'll see gondolas all over Venice. Snap some photos of them, because they are unique and will be one of your lasting memories.
4.Watch the sunset from the bell tower -- It's worth the ride up in the elevator, it won't be crowded, and you'll have some unforgettable photo opportunities. See our Venice photo page for our shots.
5.Listen to the bands in St. Mark's Square -- This is one of the best, most memorable experiences of visiting Venice, especially after dark when the crowds have thinned out. There are two sidewalk cafes, the Cafe Florian and the Cafe Quadri, each with an outstanding band, that are situated across from each other in St. Mark's Square. This isn't oompah music -- these are extremely good professional musicians playing classical music and some pop hits. You can sit and enjoy a drink, a meal, or dessert, and listen to the band. Or, you can stand at the rear of the seating area, and enjoy the free concert. When one band takes a break, walk over to the other. Or do what we did, and sit on the stacked-up risers that are used when the square floods. What a wonderful way to spend an evening. Unforgettable, and free
