Venice Dream Trip: 3-Day Artsy Itinerary Guide

Attraction Recommendations ✨

1️⃣ [St. Mark's Square]
📍 Piazza San Marco
🕒 All day | 💰 Free (Bell Tower 8 EUR)
A cluster of Byzantine-style buildings, the Bell Tower offers the best panoramic view of the city! Featured in 'Why Women Kill 2', every shot looks like a movie scene 🏰

2️⃣ [Burano Island]
📍 Burano Island
🕒 All day | 🚢 40-minute boat ride from the main island
The entire island is filled with rainbow houses and lace workshops; the macaron-colored backdrops are simply irresistible for photos! We recommend wearing light-colored clothes for better pictures 🌈📸

3️⃣ [Doge's Palace + Bridge of Sighs]
📍 Piazza San Marco 1
🕒 8:30-19:00 | 💰 25 EUR
A prime example of Gothic architecture, the Bridge of Sighs, connecting to the prison, has countless legendary stories! We recommend renting a Chinese audio guide to explore at your own pace ⛪️

🚤 Transportation Tips 🚤

The Vaporetto (water bus) is essential!
🔸 Day pass 20 EUR / Single trip 7.5 EUR
🔸 Walking + boat is most convenient on the main island
🔸 We recommend taking a gondola in the evening (80 EUR/boat) to avoid peak tourist times and listen to the gondolier sing 'O Sole Mio' 🎶

🛍️ Must-Buy List 🛍️

🎭 Venetian Masks: Hand-painted from St. Mark's workshops (30-50 EUR)
💍 Murano Glass: Look for the 'Vetro Artistico' certification
🍫 Century-old chocolate shop: San Marcuolo truffle chocolates have beautiful packaging

🍽️ Foodie Guide 🍽️

📍 Osteria alle Testiere
🦑 Squid ink pasta + local white wine = perfect match
