Venice's big sights sit side by side on St Mark's Square, but each sells its own ticket and keeps its own hours. The Doge's Palace is open daily, while St Mark's Basilica opens to visitors only from 14:00 on Sundays and public holidays. Basilica and Campanile tickets are named, so carry ID. For a day on the lagoon, the Glass Museum on Murano opens 10:00 to 17:00 in winter, but the Lace Museum on Burano is closed on Mondays and stops admitting at 15:30. Use the ticket guides under Plan your visit, then fit the rest of the city around those times.
