Venice is a place of never-ending wonder, and there's a lot more to the "floating city" than its majestic canals. Its landmark sights include the grand Piazza San Marco and Campo San Polo; palaces like the Doge's Palace, Palazzo Grassi, and Palazzo Labia (plus the Peggy Guggenheim Collection); churches including the Basilica di San Marco and the Basilica di Santa Maria della Salute; and famous bridges like the Rialto Bridge, the Bridge of Sighs, and the Scalzi Bridge. The Accademia gallery, the Arsenal, and La Fenice opera house round out a list that could easily fill a week.

Here is a list of the best tourist attractions in Venice. It also includes an extensive list of palazzos (palaces) that you can admire when floating through the waterways.
