If you have been to Venice you will know that even in April it can be very crowded and we found it best to be out early, or late after the day trippers have left, and to go to some of the lesser known museums and galleries.
On our first full day Heather had us up before dawn to see the sunrise from in front of the Doge's Palace.
This is my favourite shot.

One of the many sweepers out at dawn to clean, with birch brooms, the Piazza and the surrounding areas.
There were only the sweepers and a few other photographers around and the light was beautiful.
The Bridge of Sighs Ponte del Sospiri built in the 1600's and so called because of the supposed sighs of those who passed from the courts of the Doge's Palace on the left to the prison building on the right.
It took us just 15 minutes with the help of Google to get from our apartment to Piazza San Marco, without it it took 40 fascinating minutes to get back!

There is something to astonish and delight at every turn.
Back for breakfast on the terrace in warm sunshine!
Bliss.
