Timeline

    Gallerie dell'Accademia

    Enter the Gallerie dell'Accademia. Arriving at opening minimizes the crowds, allowing you to view Gentile Bellini’s Procession on St. Mark’s Square and Giovanni Bellini’s Pieta in peace.

  2. 10:00

    Cantine del Vino gia Schiavi

    Walk to Cantine del Vino gia Schiavi for cicchetti. Pile a plate with their inventive small plates and let the staff pour a matching glass of wine. If the interior is crowded, step out to find a spot by the canal.

  3. 10:30

    Punta della Dogana

    Stroll to Punta della Dogana. This former customs house now serves as a center for contemporary art. Take a moment to appreciate the renovation by Tadao Ando and enjoy the view of the Grand Canal entrance.
