Galleria Giorgio Franchetti Ca' d'Oro
Walk through the 15th-century Gothic halls of Ca' d'Oro. Arrive right when it opens at 08:15 to see the Mantegna and Giorgione paintings in peace before the crowds arrive.
14:53
Stop for a glass of local wine at Vino Vero. This small bar with canal-side seating is away from the main tourist throngs, perfect for a relaxed break after the museum.
16:53
Head to the top of the Bell tower of St. Mark. At sunset, the low winter sun casts a warm glow over the lagoon and the city rooftops, offering the best light for your photos.
