3 Days in Venice for Solo Travelers

A solo Venice plan for travelers who want atmosphere without getting trapped in the most crowded lanes all day. It pairs timed San Marco sights with cicchetti counters, lagoon ferries, and quiet sestieri walks. The pacing keeps evenings in lively areas, uses vaporetto routes clearly, and leaves space for wandering because Venice rewards curiosity more than checklist travel.
