Venice Family Trip, 2 Nights 3 Days
San Marco, Murano, Burano, Rialto Route
Day 1
- Suggested visit 10:00Piazza San MarcoSuggested route
This is Venice's central square. From Santa Lucia Station or your accommodation, take the vaporetto (water bus) and get off at the San Marco or San Zaccaria stop, then walk to arrive. With pigeons and a spacious plaza, it's great for kids to run around, but be careful as the ground can be slippery.

This Byzantine-style basilica is located right next to the square. As it is a religious site, avoid revealing clothing such as shorts or sleeveless tops, and hats must be removed before entering. If traveling with a child, a baby carrier is more convenient for moving around than a stroller.
Check place & directions → - Suggested visit 13:00Doge's PalaceSuggested route
Located just a 1-minute walk from the Basilica, this was once the Doge's palace and also served as a prison. The interior is spacious, so a visit takes at least 1-2 hours; make use of rest areas along the way so your child doesn't get too tired.
