“The Venetian Parthenon,” home to an amazing selection of monuments dedicated to countless doges, captains, senators, and more.

One of our favorite greenspaces in the city. Come walk among the flowers, stone benches, and a vast botanical garden a few steps from Piazza San Marco in the historic center.

Former confraternity (a sort of socially minded citizens club) with more than 30 paintings by Tintoretto. Each salon is more jaw-dropping than the last.

Built in the 19th century, tucked away in the Gulf of Trieste, just 100 miles away from Venice, among 54 acres of lush gardens.
