San Marco: palace or basilica
Doge’s Palace and St Mark’s Basilica serve different interests and require attention to the exact entry option. A palace visit focuses on Venice’s civic history and interiors. A basilica visit focuses on the church, with some areas offered separately. Read the chosen ticket before assuming that a museum, terrace or special area is included.
Dorsoduro and a Grand Canal day
The Peggy Guggenheim Collection makes an art-focused counterpart to a canal journey. Choose the museum slot and then work out the walking route from the landing rather than choosing the closest-looking pier on a map. Do not confuse seeing a waterside building from a boat with admission to its galleries.
Theatre, music and something to make
A La Fenice visit is a theatre tour, not a ticket to an opera performance. A Vivaldi concert is a separate evening booking. A mask decoration workshop can be a hands-on alternative to another sightseeing stop. Check each duration, language and participant requirement before putting two activities back to back.
