We've made a list of the top 10 must-see attractions that you won't want to miss on your first visit to Venice

00:21 LIDO DI VENEZIA
Welcome to Venice's own slice of seaside heaven! Lido isn't just about golden sands and azure waters - it's where Hollywood meets the Adriatic. Every September, this island transforms into a glittering hub of cinema for the Venice Film Festival.The festival started in 1932, making it the world's oldest film fest.

00:45 BURANO ISLAND
Prepare your camera for the most colorful spot in Venice! This fisherman's island is famous for its vibrantly painted houses. Legend has it that the bright colors helped fishermen find their way home through the lagoon fog. Burano is also renowned for its intricate lace-making. Watch the nimble-fingered artisans at work - it's like seeing magic happen!

01:07 VENICE CARNIVAL
Venice's Carnevale is a riot of color, mystery, and centuries-old traditions.
The tradition of wearing masks started as a way for Venetians to hide their social status and indulge in some cheeky behavior.

01:26 CICCHETTI & SPRITZ
Experience Venice like a local with a glass of Spritz and a cicchetto. The word "cicchetti" comes from the Latin "ciccus", meaning "small amount”. Featuring bite-sized sandwiches, seafood on toothpicks, and meatballs, these bites add up to big satisfaction. The Spritz, an iconic Venetian cocktail, is a sunset-colored mix of prosecco, Aperol, and soda, invented during the Austrian occupation to water down Venice's strong wines.

01:48 ARSENALE DI VENEZIA
Once Europe's largest industrial complex, this powerhouse churned out fully-equipped ships daily, fueling Venice's maritime dominance. It was so revolutionary, it gave us the English word "arsenal"! Today, this former top-secret facility transforms into a cutting-edge art venue during the Venice Biennale. It's where medieval might meets modern masterpieces - a must-see blend of history and creativity!

02:16 SANTA MARIA DELLA SALUTE
This architectural marvel it's a massive 'thank you' note: built to celebrate Venice's deliverance from a plague, it's a testament to Venetian resilience. Visit at sunset for a breathtaking view of the dome reflected in the Grand Canal.

02:33 RIALTO BRIDGE
This 16th-century icon isn't just a bridge - it's the beating heart of Venice. Once lined with exotic spices and jewels, it's now the perfect spot for that classic Venice shot. There's a superstition that rubbing the bridge's white stone ensures a return to Venice.

03:27 DOGE'S PALACE & BRIDGE OF SIGHS
Step into the opulent world of Venetian rulers and the somber reality of its prisoners. The Gothic splendor of the Doge's Palace contrasts sharply with the infamous Bridge of Sighs, where convicts took their last look at freedom. Insider scoop: Book a "Secret Itineraries" tour to see hidden passages and torture chambers. The palace is said to be haunted by Marino Faliero, a Doge executed for treason.

03:53 SAN MARCO SQUARE
Napoleon wasn't kidding when he called this the finest drawing room in Europe. Start with St. Mark's Basilica, a bejeweled beauty nicknamed the "Church of Gold". Don't forget to look down at the undulating marble floor, said to mimic lagoon waves. Then, ascend the Campanile for breathtaking views. Fun fact: The current tower is actually a replica - the original collapsed in 1902, miraculously hurting no one except a cat!

04:21 GRAND CANAL & GONDOLA CRUISE
No visit to Venice is complete without a gondola cruise down this S-shaped wonder. Yes, it's touristy, but oh-so-worth-it! Go at sunset for the most romantic experience. Get this: the gondolier profession is still passed down from father to son, and until 2010, no women were allowed to be gondoliers.
