Look, we're all friends here so there's no need to lie to us or yourself - we all know that your main reason for coming to Venice is to take a bunch of cliché selfies for your Instagram feed. And there's no shame in that. There most definitely should be shame in it, but shame apparently isn't something that has managed to survive into the 2020s. #RIPshame. Anyway, since you're more likely than not going to take a bunch of vain photos of yourself all around this most storied and beautiful of cities, you might as well do it properly, right?

Below you'll find the very best spots to temporarily satiate your outsized ego, validate your vanity and, hopefully, make all of your friends and family back home jealous as f*ck. We only have one sincere request: please don't end up acting like these four Americans we once had the pleasure of witnessing on their way to the legendary Hard Rock Cafe - that's too much even for us to condone. Happy snapping!
