Campanile and Dodge's Palace from the water by codrutz
All Venice guides tell you to start your trip in Venice by taking the vaporetto from Piazzale Roma on the first trip to Canal Grande, directly to San Marco, to see it from the water first, then get off the vaporetto and go to San Marco square and from then start your trip to the sestieri of Venice. They are right and I did just so, it is lovely to see San Marco, Campanile and Dodge's palace from the first time coming on Canal Grande. First time visitors and returning visitors should do so.
