If 24 hours is all you’ve got in Venice, you don’t want to miss these must-see spots. Don’t forget to bring your camera and an appetite, you’ll need both to keep you going.

Cappuccino at Blue Bottle Coffee

The day is for exploring, but first coffee. While there is no shortage of java offerings in Venice, Blue Bottle’s chic “hole in the wall” cafe offers one of the best cappuccinos in town. Extra points if you snag a spot on the “bench built for two” outside.

Donuts at Blue Star

What’s a coffee without a donut? Blue Star Donuts takes traditional favorites and kicks them up a notch or two. Don’t leave without trying the blueberry bourbon basil or Mexican hot chocolate.

The Venice Sign

There’s no better place to enjoy your coffee and donuts then on the beach. Grab an Uber and head over the water. On your way be sure to stop by the famous “Venice” light sign for a perfectly Instagramable moment.

Lunch and a show

Soak in the sun and check out the skaters at the Venice Skate Park nestled in between the boardwalk and the ocean. Don’t wanna miss a single kickflip of the action? Order the infamous “Godmother” sandwich from Bay Cities on UberEATS – and get it with “the works”.

Dinner at Gjelina Take Away

After a long day in the sun taking in the sights, grab a quick bite at Gjelina Take Away. Located in the heart of infamous Abbot Kinney Blvd, once you get your food, pull up a milk crate in the patio next door and drink in the nighttime activity.
