Early in the morning you can catch a glimpse of a different Venice. The narrow city streets are empty, except for an occasional local hurrying to work.

From Riva degli Schiavoni, watch rows of gondolas in the calm waters of the lagoon.

In the morning, St. Mark's Square is cleaned and prepared for the daily visitors while the pigeons begin to stir and take test flights to the roof above the square.
