Morning
The Accademia Galleries (see Accademia Galleries) can be overwhelming, so focus on a selection of its glories, but don’t neglect the Carpaccios and Bellinis. After all that art, have a relaxing coffee watching the boats go by at Snack Bar Accademia Foscarini, a magical spot right at the foot of Accademia Bridge. (Rio Terrà Antonio Foscarini, Dorsoduro 878/C 041 522 72 81 Closed Tue).
Next, head off east for a leisurely stroll, past Long-hena’s work of art, the church of Santa Maria della Salute , to Punta della Dogana, a great spot for taking photos of Piazza San Marco. Turn back in the direction of the Zattere and Giudecca Canal. Lunch is recommended at Al Chioschetto, a snack bar right on the water’s edge. (Zattere, Dorsoduro 1406/a).
Afternoon
Wander through to Campo Santa Margherita to the Scuola Grande dei Carmini to admire Tiepolo’s canvases, then take time to admire the architectural curiosities of this fascinating square.
As sunset approaches waste no time in occupying a table for a Spritz apéritif at the trendy bar Margaret DuChamp (Campo S Margherita, Dorsoduro 3019 041 528 62 55 Closed Tue). It’s hard to better this as a place for people-watching, and an added bonus is the scent of jasmine that fills the air as night falls.
