One of the most famous attractions in Venice is Doge's Place located in St. Mark's Square. The seat of the Venetian government is now one of the most impressive places to visit in Venice and is an absolute must stop for any tourist. It offers not only an amazing tour in richly appointed and opulent architecture, but an impressive showcase in Venetian art from masters such as Tintoretto. One downside is that the line to get in can be very long, but I found before I went that if you buy your ticket at the Correr Museum across the square, which in itself is a good stop too, you can bypass the line and go straight in. Whether in Venice for a day or a week, you must visit the Doge's Palace.
