The axis joining the two squares, on foot: San Marco first thing, while you can still cross the piazza, and the Doge's Palace with a ticket bought ahead. Then up towards Rialto through the narrow calli, over the bridge, finishing at the fish market, open on the same spot for a thousand years and closing at midday.

💡If you come and go the same day, there's a fee
Venice charges day visitors who don't sleep in the city, on certain high-season days. You pay online before arriving and you must carry the receipt: they check at the station and the car park.
💡Getting lost is part of it, but download the map first
The alleys follow no logic at all and your phone loses signal between the buildings. Download the map offline before you go out and follow the yellow signs, which point to Rialto and San Marco.
💡A single vaporetto ticket costs almost ten euros
A five-minute hop costs what a meal does. If you're taking more than three, get the 24, 48 or 72-hour pass: it pays for itself on day one.
💡Dinner is standing up, in a bacaro, on cicchetti
They're Venetian tapas: order two or three, have them with a glass of house wine and move on to the next bar. Ten or twelve euros, and better than anything on a canal-side terrace.
💡A gondola has a fixed price, and it's per boat, not per person
Half an hour costs what it costs, written down or not, and up to five people fit: split five ways it stops being outrageous. The traghetto, which crosses the Grand Canal standing up, costs two euros.
