Our Venice expert, Anne Hanley, tells you all you need to know about a city break in Venice, from the top sights to the best hotels, restaurants and shops.

Visitors pile into the fragile centro storico of Venice – and there are days when tourists outnumber locals by two to one – but the city never loses its capacity to enchant. Late spring and early summer bring some of the most daunting crowds, but there’s a reason why they come: the sheer loveliness of this exquisite city bathed in clear light and warmth. It’s important to remember that, even at peak visitor times, you are never more than a bridge and an alley away from a more secluded city, full of secret campos, handsome Gothic palazzos and neighbourhood wine bars.
