What to see in Venice in one day: A daily itinerary is feasible or it is madness? Make it say by a Venetian like me: Of course it is possible, And I'm here to help you plan the correct itinerary.
They will not fail Artistic suggestions, If you want to stop in one of the splendid museums along the way, e Culinari, If you want to drink a spritz and eat some typical cicheto.
This itinerary is designed to be done standing. So, listen to me, armed with good will, water and, above all, comfortable shoes.

Let's start!

What to see in Venice in one day

Before choosing what to see in Venice in one day you have to get there! You can reach the city by train, By bus or car. Let's take, Therefore, as the starting point the Venice Station Santa Lucia or, Little distant, Piazzale Roma–il capolinea degli autobus.

Start directing you to Campo Santa Margherita. We are in the Sestiere Dorsoduro, And Campo Santa Margherita is one of the favorite gatherings from university students. You can find there Several bars Where to have breakfast or, why not, Drink a first spritz if you arrive in late morning (tranquill*, from 11 in poi a Venezia nessuno ti giudicherà se inizi a bere 🥂).

From Campo Santa Margherita Dirigiti towards St. Light, Church where I recommend you look up to admire your one of the largest canvases in the world (The martyrdom of San Pantalon).

From there then you travel another short stretch and go to the wonderful Great School of San Rocco, In full Rococo style.
A few steps you can also visit the famous Basilica dei Frari, with the splendid triptych of Bellini, Tiziano's assumption, The San Giovanni Battista of Donatello and the monumental tombs of Tiziano and Canova.

After filling the eyes of art, moved to the Academy, where if you want you can stop to visit the famous Accademia Galleries, One of the most important state museums in Italy and a treasure chest of immense treasures.
If time holds time, Instead, I walked Bridge of the Academy, one of the only ones 5 bridges to cross the Grand Canal, and enjoy the view of the Baroque jewel of Santa Maria della Salute, Masterpiece of the architect Baldassarre Longhena.
Not far from the Academy are both the Guggenheim Museum, with a collection of crazy contemporary art, is Palazzo Grassi, which always organizes some exhibitions fabulous. “Io ve l’ho detto” (cit. 😉).

He then continues towards Campo Santo Stefano, always straight you will arrive at Campo Sant’Angelo and finally a Manin camp, where I advise you to make a short detour on the right to admire the spectacular Scala Contarini from the Bovolo. It is an external spiral staircase of a four -eighteenth -century noble palace.

Return to Campo Manin and continue straight. You will arrive in Campo San Luca, where the shopping area begins, and then a Campo San Bortolomio. Arriving there you make a very short deviation on the left to enjoy the iconic Rialto bridge, who does not need explanations.
He returns to Campo San Bortolomio and take the close calle de la Bissa to get to the Gislon Rosticceria, where I recommend their very special carriage mozzarella and fried cream. With approx 4 Euro you will eat a mozzarella in a carriage and you will be a good drink Bianciato (Ask the boys of make you a Biancheto: It is nothing more than a small glass of white wine). Trust me, You will thank me!

Head, Therefore, verso Piazza San Marco, trying to juggle the thousand souvenir stores! Prepare to have to do some’ of slalom among people, because that area always tends to tourists.
In Piazza San Marco Volendo you can visit the Basilica, the imposing Ducal palace (with attached Ponte dei Sigiri But it is more beautiful from outside) or go up on the campanile. Keep in mind, But, that the three attractions always have a very long tail at all hours of the day, So maybe reserve them for when you have more time!

Finished the tour of Piazza San Marco, He returns to Rialto and from Campo San Bortolomio takes New road, Another shopping area.
Continue on Strada Nuova up to Campo Santa Fosca. Turn right, crossing Ponte Santa Fuca and continues straight up to the Fondamenta della Misericordia. Here in the foundations you will literally find every well of God: It is one of the richest areas of Bacari And it is also little known by tourists. I know, You are adoring me.
My favorites are: Real wine, The lost paradise, To the Papussa neighbor, Bacaro Ae Bricoe and the Timon. You know that at the head you can sit on a boat? About what to eat, There are two watchwords: Spritz and Cagged! I advise you to try the spritz at select, A SELTZ all Venetian. Then try several cicheti, For example with the mantegato cod, with the Sopressa, with polenta, with the Sardinians in Saor and with the Venetian livers. You won't regret it.

When you are full belly, Travel the foundations up to the Bridge of Gheto vecio (Ghetto old) on the left. Walk and arrive at Ghetto: where the Jewish community once lived, Now he is one of the most beautiful residential neighborhoods in Venice. Enjoy the fields of the Ghetto Vecio and the Novo e, If you want, Try the Cucina Kosher at ba ghetto or range gam.
I also suggest you stop at The Studio in Venice, The Jewish gallery by Michal Meron. Admission is free and there is always the nice Penelope, The cat of the ghetto, ready to welcome visitors.

We have almost reached the end of our itinerary. From Gheto Novo he returns to Strada Nuova, crosses the Ponte delle Guglie (one of the others 5 Bridges on the Grand Canal). Finally, travel the road to the station or in Piazzale Roma, Depending on the vehicle you used to reach Venice.

A bonus per te!

If you don't want to turn too many churches and will gladly jump San Pantalon, The Grande School of San Rocco and the Basilica of the Frari, Alternatively you can reach the Academy by passing through the Rack. Le Zattere sono una sorta di “lungomare” (pass me the term) which runs alongside the San Marco basin looking towards the Judecca. It is a spectacular place, especially at sunset.
If you decide to go to the rafts you have to taste “The Gianduiotto di Nico“, A real institution in Venice. Recati alla “Gelateria da Nico” and ask them to prepare a gianduiotto: It is a block of gianduia ice cream covered with cream… Paradise!
