You’ll need fortifying after the Palace and Basilica. Indulge your caffeine addiction. After all, this country invented cappuccino, and the priciest cup you might ever drink can be found at Caffé Lavena on St. Mark’s Square, a centuries-old classic. You’ll be charged more to sit outdoors and contend with orchestral renditions of “Titanic” from the in-house orchestra, so sink into a banquette inside under the giant chandelier made of hand-blown Murano glass, for which Venice is famous, and peruse the extremely good guidebook you can purchase at the city tourist office for $7.
