How many days in Venice?

One day covers the essentials that lie close together.

Ca' d'Oro · Ca' Pesaro · Basilica di Santa Maria Gloriosa dei Frari · Museo Ca' Rezzonico

A second day lets you go beyond the very centre.

Basilica dei santi Giovanni e Paolo · Basilica di San Marco · Palazzo Ducale · Biblioteca Nazionale Marciana · Teatro La Fenice · Santa Maria della Salute

Three days are comfortable — enough for museums and places further out.

Cattedrale di Santa Maria Assunta

An account lets you save the plan, change it and tick things off as you go.

We measured walking times to the main sights from different parts of the city. From the area below you reach them in 10 min on average, 23 min at the furthest, and 7 of them are within walking distance.

• Biblioteca Nazionale Marciana (138 m)
• Palazzo Ducale (138 m)
• Basilica di San Marco (181 m)

For comparison: from the worst-placed area it is 30 min on average to the same places.
