The largest sea-facing square in Europe, Piazza Unità d’Italia is framed on three sides by grand palazzi and opens straight onto the Adriatic on the fourth, and it holds an exceptional 4.8 on Google across more than 57,000 reviews.
It’s free to walk at any hour, and the square anchors the rest of the historic centre, with the Canal Grande, Molo Audace and most of the best cafés all within a few minutes on foot.
Local tip: Come back after dark, when the palazzi are lit and the square empties out considerably.
