Hi,

I would also add that Venice takes on a different air at night once the majority of day trippers have gone so it might we worthwhile revisting ie St Mark's square.
This photo was taken in Dec 2022 at night ( the christmas tree is around the corner towards Doge's palace)


Piazza San Marco ( St Mark's square) at night Dec 2022 ( had been raining during the day)


The Rialto bridge at night ( a lot fewer tourists) .During the day you can get some good shots right by the side of the bridge ( don't get too close to the canal edge!)


I did love the view from Ponte dell Academia towards the Basillica Santa Maria del Salute ( this was taken towards sunset) Beautiful area to wander around on both sides of the Grande Canal. Bridge can get busy though (not too bad on my visit)

View towards Salute from Ponte dell academia

Piazza san marco is beautiful in the late afternoon sun with the sun shining against the campamile and the Basilica
Regards
