3 days in Venice Itinerary

Virtually unchanged for the last six centuries, Venice is actually a group of islands made famous by a series of canals, bridges, monuments, piazzas, and narrow pedestrian lanes.

When in Venice, make a side trip to see Scrovegni Chapel in Padua, approximately Padua away. There's still lots to do: admire the striking features of Basilica di San Marco, explore the world behind art at Gallerie dell'Accademia, see the interesting displays at Doge's Palace, and don't miss a visit to Piazza San Marco.

In August, plan for daily highs up to 34°C, and evening lows to 22°C. Finish your sightseeing early on the 4th (Thu) to allow enough time to travel back home.
