Sights
Rialto Bridge
The stone bridge over the Grand Canal, lined with small shops. It sits roughly halfway between Piazzale Roma and St Mark's on foot.
Sights
St Mark's Basilica
A church covered inside with golden mosaics, built to hold the relics of St Mark. Sunday and holiday mornings are kept for worship, so visits start in the early afternoon on those days; book a time slot to skip most of the queue.
