At about dusk take No.1 vaporetto from Rialto down to San Marco. All the hotels and great houses are lit up and you can see many of the ornamental ceilings within. At night St Marks square, the basilica, the Doge’s palace, and the tower are also beautifully lit up, and you have the place virtually to yourselves!

These paperbacks have little maps which make navigation seem easy. Granted, I’ve never tried it myself, and I’d probably still get lost. No matter. Even the locals get lost in Venice. At least I’d stumble across one of those intriguing neighborhood cafes Leon describes. A glass of wine is a great way to fortify the soul. And the Peggy Guggenheim Museum can’t be that far away………..

We “accidentally” chose a hotel in Lido instead of central Venice, and it was great, I don’t think we would have visited Lido otherwise, and it was definitely worth it.

Our favourite Venice day is to go out to the Armenian monastery at San Lazzaro degli Armeni. But if the buzz of the city cannot be resisted, then a few hours each day in La basilica di San Marco is hard to beat. And it is completely free. No need to pay a cent. The celebrations of Holy Masses in the basilica are free of charge. The entrance is from the Porta dei Fiori (north façade) in the Piazzetta dei Leoncini. Mass is celebrated six times each day, and there is no finer start to a Venetian spring morning than the quiet 7.00 Mass at San Marco. If that inspires you, then stay for Lauds at 8.30 (followed by another Mass at 9.00 for the truly devout). One of the finest pieces of ecclesiastical theatre starts just after 18.00 with Vespers, the Rosary and then Mass at 18.45. On Sundays evenings, be in San Marco by about 17.25 for Vespers and the Madonna Nicopeia procession with the chant of the litanies, which leads nicely into Mass at 18.45. Venice demands time. And 30 mins shuffling through San Marco in a crowd of photographers (after having stood in line to get in) is just NOT the way to do it.
