San Marco and the Doge's Palace first thing, before the cruise ships arrive; the Rialto and its market, open seven to noon and closed on Sundays; and the Zattere at dusk, which is where the people who live here sit.

💡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.
