During the day, St. Mark's Square is filled with people, pigeons and music. You can spend the whole day in this area, visiting the interior of St. Mark's Church, the Doge's Palace and Museo Correr. Or go to the top of the bell tower which features spectacular views of Venice.
Feeding the pigeons in the square is a popular activity. You can purchase packets of corn from the vendors in the square and take your picture balancing the birds on your arms.
After visiting some of the sights, stop for a drink at the historic Caffe Florian or Caffe Quadri, both of which feature open-air orchestras playing in the square.
