| Spectacular views from the Campanile |
Saint Mark's Square: Only a fifteen minute stroll from Warwick's Palazzo, Saint Mark's Square is one of Venice's most iconic images. Though most busy in the summer months, packed with swarms of tourists, it remains busy throughout the year. However, in the evenings and wetter days you can easily find that you have the whole square to yourself. Take a trip up the Campanile for amazing views across the city and lagoon. Saint Mark's Basilica is another highlight and free to enter.
The Rialto Bridge: Three bridges cross the Grand Canal; Ponte degli Scalzi, Ponte di Rialto and Ponte dell' Accademia. The Rialto is the most famous and is a fantastic place to visit and is steeped in history. Once the hub of everyday Venetian life in the sixteenth century, it now is dominated by tourists. Yet, it still remains popular with locals, especially in the evening.The Chorus Pass

| San Giobbe in Cannaregio |
One way of exploring Venice is by buying a Chorus Pass, which allows you to visit sixteen of Venice's churches for a tiny price. The pass is well worth it and a great way to delve into Venice's many nooks and crannies. The churches are spread across the city's sestieri and the pass can be bought at any of the sixteen churches featured. You are given a little card and as you enter each church its respective number is stamped.
Graffiti in Venice
The less publicised and promoted element of the Venetian city-scape is its ongoing battle with graffiti. Love it or loath it, graffiti is a highly visible feature of city. With decreasing funds to tackle the problem, graffiti seems like it is set to stay. Here are a few photos of the graffiti dotted about the city. Graffiti varies from simple tags, sentiments of love and humour to more politically motivated statements.
