St. Markโs Campanile
The most famous view of Venice is also the one that is easiest to find: Itโs hard to mistake the facade of the sturdy St. Markโs Campanile when it towers over the corner of Piazza San Marco.
Scala Contarini del Bovolo
Hidden down a quiet street that youโll almost certainly not stumble across accidentally and boasting one of the best views of Venice, the Scala Contarini del Bovolo is well worth seeking out during your trip.
Rooftop Terrace of St. Markโs Basilica
While the rooftop terrace of St. Markโs Basilica doesnโt have as high as a view as St. Markโs Campanile, the views over Piazza San Marco and the Dogeโs Palace.
San Giorgio Maggiore
Situated directly across the lagoon from Piazza San Marco and the Dogeโs Palace, the small island of San Giorgio Maggiore is home to one of the most unique Venice viewpoints.
Rialto Bridge
The view of Veniceโs Grand Canal from the top of the Rialto Bridge may just be one of the most famous views on the planet.
Ponte dellโAccademia
Next to the view from the Rialto Bridge, the view of the Grand Canal looking toward the Basilica di Santa Maria della Salute is probably the most iconic of all the best views of Venice: this view has ended up on countless postcards over the years, and itโs striking in real life!
Bridge of Sighs
While the view of the Bridge of Sighs from the Riva degli Schiavoni is gorgeous, the view looking out from inside the Bridge of Sighs is the most famous, and arguably its history alone makes it one of the best views in Venice.
From Veniceโs Footbridges
This is perhaps the least specific of all of these best views of Venice, but with 400 footbridges crisscrossing over 150 canals, listing all the epic Venice viewpoints available would be a lifelong project.
From the Grand Canal
When looking for the best views in Venice, youโll spend plenty of time looking at the wide expanse of the Grand Canalโbut thereโs no view quite like the one from the water.
From a Gondola
Weโve saved the most iconic for last: so many visitors to Venice, ourselves included, dream of the view of the canals from one of the cityโs gorgeous gondolas: low to the water, with a dramatic curve at the end and a truly unique perspective on the city, thereโs nothing like admiring the canals of Venice from a gondola.
Riva degli Schiavoni
Strolling along the Riva degli Schiavoni is not only a delightful way to enjoy the city, youโll also be treated to some of the best views in Venice while you do so.
