You can get to any of the islands using multiple bridges, but keep in mind that a lot of walking is possible.\n\nSometimes you have to go in circles and pass through many interconnected islands before you reach the island you want to go to. If you have time and don't mind walking, this is a great way to explore Venice.\n\nDon't want to walk? Do not worry! Water buses (Vaporetto) are affordable and will most likely get you where you want to go. There are many stops throughout Venice, and it can be quite fun to explore the city this way. The great thing about the water bus is that it runs 24/7 and goes to nearby islands, including Murano, Lido, and Burano.\n\nA one-way ticket costs EUR 7.50 (USD 9) and will last for 75 minutes. Of course, if you plan to use the Vaporetto a lot, you can also purchase a daily pass. You can check out the different ticket options in below link.\n\nTaking a gondola in Venice is definitely the most classic and romantic way to visit Venice. However, gondolas are mostly used for tours as they usually start and end in the same place.\n\nAlso, gondola rides are expensive, usually costing around 80-100 EUR (100-120 USD) depending on the location and season you visit. If you can find other travelers to share the cost, your wallet will surely thank you!"},{"type":"link","content":"http://actv.avmspa.it/en/content/vaporetto"},{"metadata":{"width":564,"height":675},"type":"img","version":1,"content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2FZ5lFocCYrUwK5mz2jQa9%2Feddce615036bfeb88ec62e10952a8c07.jpg?alt=media&token=a176ccf0-9820-41cf-9c54-9085795c0125"},{"metadata":{"width":576,"height":1024},"type":"video","content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2FZ5lFocCYrUwK5mz2jQa9%2Ft%E1%BA%A3i%20xu%E1%BB%91ng%20(1).mp4?alt=media&token=09217d86-f3f8-47c8-b1a5-6488548a3d2a"}]},{"address":"Rialto Bridge","location":{"longitudeDelta":0.10218818160659443,"latitudeDelta":0.09219986310369421,"latitude":45.43805371612502,"longitude":12.3359319},"media":[{"type":"text","content":"# Day 1: \nFree walking tour, \nRialto Bridge,\n Gelatoteca Suso, \nSt. Mark, \nChurch of St. Mark, \nCampanile St. Mark"},{"type":"text","content":"# Rialto Bridge"},{"metadata":{"width":736,"height":919},"type":"img","version":1,"content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2FZ5lFocCYrUwK5mz2jQa9%2F16126b201334beb5812faaf78ae86f24.jpg?alt=media&token=4f5fb24a-253f-4128-ad3d-a6ab78b1dfb4"},{"type":"text","content":"After finishing your walking tour, it's time to explore the city on your own. As a first stop, head to Venice's most famous bridge: the Rialto Bridge.\n\nThe Rialto Bridge is the oldest bridge spanning the Grand Canal. This is why it is such a popular spot to visit in Venice! It dates from the 12th century but has been reconstructed many times over the years. The version that exists today is from the 16th century.\n\nAlong the bridge are many shops, similar to the Ponte Vecchio in Florence. Most shops sell souvenirs, so feel free to drop in and grab yourself a souvenir of your trip. Although there is a great view from the Rialto Bridge out to the canal, be sure to see it from a distance, as it truly is an architectural wonder.\n\nWhile the Rialto Bridge is undoubtedly one of the most popular sights in Venice and it's usually quite crowded during the day, this doesn't mean you can't take a good photo with it, even on Middle of the day!"},{"metadata":{"width":576,"height":1024},"type":"video","content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2FZ5lFocCYrUwK5mz2jQa9%2Ft%E1%BA%A3i%20xu%E1%BB%91ng%20(2).mp4?alt=media&token=248315d7-bdc6-4021-af4d-ebb5664304a6"}]},{"address":"Gelatoteca Suso","location":{"longitudeDelta":0.10218818160659443,"latitudeDelta":0.09219986310369421,"latitude":45.43772911612483,"longitude":12.33739964999998},"media":[{"type":"text","content":"# Gelatoteca Suso"},{"metadata":{"width":564,"height":846},"type":"img","version":1,"content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2FZ5lFocCYrUwK5mz2jQa9%2F9d476161904a0151f443aaea1e4170df.jpg?alt=media&token=93fc587b-a32e-4d9c-bd22-496b4aa3633a"},{"type":"text","content":"This 2-day Venice itinerary would not be complete without mentioning gelato at least once. Even if you visit in winter, you must definitely try it at least once during your visit!\n\nGelatoteca Suso is one of the most highly rated gelato shops in the city, and since it's located near the Rialto Bridge, it can easily be included in your Venice itinerary. They serve a variety of flavors and they even have vegetarian options! What more could you ask for?\n\nIf this weren't enough, there's a small bridge nearby that offers stunning views of the canal so you can snap an iconic ice cream photo for your Instagram.\n\nBe careful though, gelato melts super fast (especially during the summer months) so be sure to check the bridge before you buy the gelato so you don't waste time searching once you've got your gelato on hand."},{"metadata":{"width":576,"height":1024},"type":"video","content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2FZ5lFocCYrUwK5mz2jQa9%2Ft%E1%BA%A3i%20xu%E1%BB%91ng%20(3).mp4?alt=media&token=58da980d-5dc2-4600-a461-8d806e727fbe"}]},{"address":"St. Mark's Square","location":{"longitudeDelta":0.10218818160659443,"latitudeDelta":0.09219986310369421,"latitude":45.43631208291184,"longitude":12.328462749999986},"media":[{"type":"text","content":"# St. Mark's Square"},{"metadata":{"width":564,"height":699},"type":"img","version":1,"content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2FZ5lFocCYrUwK5mz2jQa9%2Fc9ce72553cae108b3a1952d1034640bc.jpg?alt=media&token=52421eb0-8815-42ba-a544-9269f312748d"},{"type":"text","content":"Next, it's time to head to St. Mark.

Donations are usually requested at the door. However, sometimes there can be quite a bit of road to get inside but it's totally worth the wait!\n\nOne thing to note is that there is a dress code when entering St Mark's Basilica, which is the same as when entering all major churches in Italy.
