2 days in venice

Venice in 2 days is basically living your European summer fantasy 🍦🌅 From wandering jaw-dropping basilicas to sipping Aperol, this city is all vibe. The highlights? Saint Mark’s Basilica and Doge’s Palace are both musts – get ready for golden mosaics, canal views and seriously epic palazzo history.

Day 1:
Kick things off at Saint Mark’s Basilica (P.za San Marco, 328, Venezia; 09:30–17:15 most days, 14:00–17:15 Sunday; ticket €23). Arrive early to skip the lines and soak up the dazzling gold mosaics – you’ll want extra time for photos! Afterward, stroll around Piazza San Marco, grab a creamy gelato (the local shops nearby are next level), and chill by the canals with an Aperol Spritz, because why not?

Day 2:
Step into history at Doge’s Palace (P.za San Marco, 1, Venezia; open Oct: 09:00–19:00, Nov-Mar: 09:00–18:00; ticket €25). Tip: Go in the morning for fewer crowds, and don’t skip the Bridge of Sighs. Once you’ve explored, hop on a vaporetto for a colorful day trip to the Burano and Murano villages. Burano’s rainbow streets and Murano’s famed glass-making studios will upgrade your Insta feed instantly. The vibe here? Ultra chill.

Getting Around: Venice is best on foot or by vaporetto (water bus) – grab a multi-day pass for easy cruising. No cars = less stress. Most places take card, but small shops still love cash.

Food tip: Always say yes to gelato, and grab classic cicchetti (Venetian tapas) at a corner bacaro. Aperol Spritz is basically mandatory!
