    We saw this place on social media before our holiday to Venice and decided we would add this to our list of places to visit. It did not disappoint. It was a little crowded, and there was a queue that you had to follow; which made it a little difficult when trying to look at the books and postcards on offer to buy but overall very different and many books and if your like us and a avid bookworm. Do not miss this place.

    Although less exuberant than Scuola Grande San Rocco, San Giovanni Evangelista has more defined spaces and is well worth checking out.

    This is among lesser-visited museums in Venice, with several expositions including a pretty good art collection, across a number of interesting spaces.

    For someone in the Medical profession, this is a must-see! The history of the art and craft of the profession is laid out beautifully. The room with thousands of medical books, instruments for the profession (surgical/medical, dental) is heart stopping (so I guess a hospital is the best place to be for that! LOL). I needed a chin strap to keep my mouth closed, just looking at the art, the ceiling, the place as a whole. Be sure to go to the Museum's Specimen and Pharmacy, just next door, to complete your visit.

    I’ve dreamt about visiting this masterpiece by Sansovino ever since I was an A Level student... We spent ages looking for the entrance and even asked a number of locals, policemen etc. Eventually we discovered that the Biblioteca Marciana, the Museo Archeologico and the Museo Correr all share the same entrance at the western end of Piazza San Marco. That’s a nuisance if you’ve bought the multi-museum ticket and haven’t got time to visit three museums all at once, because it doesn’t allow multiple entries!
    Sadly we were unable to enjoy the grandeur of the interior since there was a major exhibition on in the Biblioteca, which ‘got in the way’. The other two museums were full of fascinating exhibits and are well worth a visit, but only if you’ve got plenty of time.

    The Monumental Halls of the Library illustrate the beauty of the ancient Library of St. Mark, made largely by Jacopo Sansovino and completed by Vincenzo Scamozzi, with an extraordinary staircase and a very rich decoration.

    Fantastic bookstore in a wonderful area. They've got a well-curated, thoughtful selection. Bonus was a small English section, largely tailored toward social change and Venice info. So glad we popped by!

    Located next to the Saint Maria dei Frari (church) in Campo San Frari this is another Venice freebie. A beautiful courtyard is accessible. The area of San Polo is quiet and off the main tourist path so it is generally quieter and more relaxed. Access into the small museum was free so another bonus to those visiting Venice on a budget.

    Carlo Osvaldo Goldoni was an Italian playwright from Venice (February 1707 – February 6, 1793). His works include some of Italy's most famous and best-loved plays. Audiences have admired the plays of Goldoni for their ingenious mix of wit and honesty. His plays offered his contemporaries images of themselves, often dramatizing the lives, values, and conflicts of the emerging middle class.

    The museum is where he was born and celebrates his work as an artist. The house was built in the 15th century and tucked in a Venice alley/street. The family remained there until 1719.

    The collection is famous for its manuscripts, puppets, and masks. When I visited, I was the only one there in the house other than personnel.

    I stopped here for some maps and information brochures of what was going on in Venice during my stay, but I was disappointed. They have almost nothing, and the only visible map of the city is not handed out for free - you have to pay for it.
    Also other brochures were with general info were missing. They just focus on selling the inclusive Venice cards here.
    However, if you ask questions to the staff, they will gladly answer, with all details.

    There is so much to Venice, do you really want to just rely on a guidebook ? Stop at one of these Information booths to get the locals tips

    The Historical Archive of the Patriarchate of Venice is one of the most important places for the study of Christianity in the lagoon city.
