Keep a little mystery in your trip planning: flip this switch on and Explorer Picture Mode shows a stylized version of every place instead of the real photo, so you can go by the description and reviews first and picture it your own way -- turn it off again any time, or reveal the real photo for just one place at a time from its own page.

Create a free account to pick your own style (Vintage, Oil Painting, Illustration, and more) and have it remembered next time you visit.

Venice's major sights are concentrated around Piazza San Marco and the Grand Canal, but its art and architecture extend across six sestieri and the wider lagoon. The Doge's Palace and St Mark's Basilica explain the institutions and ceremonial identity of the Republic; churches such as the Frari, Madonna dell'Orto and San Giorgio Maggiore preserve major works in the settings for which they were made; Murano, Burano and Torcello reveal distinct parts of lagoon history.

Use the filters below to distinguish ticketed or reservation-dependent sites from streets, squares, churches and viewpoints that can form part of a walk. Opening conditions and admission prices should always be checked on the attraction's official website.
