How much time do you have?
Make the day fit the clock.
Start with the time you really have. The destination gets easier after that.
ONE DAY
Pick one direction.
Start with the canals and St Mark’s, then use a longer day to explore the lagoon islands.
STAY THE NIGHT
Stay after the rush.
Stay near the waterfront for early departures and an easy first walk. Choose a quieter neighbourhood when you want the destination after the day-trippers leave.
IF YOU HAVE 3 HOURS
Take one gondola ride. Then get lost.
Half an hour is enough. Do the iconic thing once, then spend the rest of your three-hour window walking away from the places everyone else is queueing for.

Venice gets better when the signs become less helpful. Cross one busy bridge, then keep going east until souvenir shops give way to laundry, workshops and quiet campi.
