St. Mark's Square

AttractionVeniceAbout 30 minutes

The only piazza in Venice — everything else is a campo — and the lowest point in the city, which is why it floods first. Ringed by cafés with orchestras and prices to match. Best at seven in the morning before the day boats arrive, and after ten at night when they have gone.
