A tip I have about this place — 2 months ago
Be prepared for the crowds (particularly leading to St. Mark’s Square) if you’re there in peak season. It can feel like you’re shuffling along in a long slow queue. Take along a good map (the streets are a maze!) but also enjoy exploring the streets of the less touristy spots.
I still remember my first glimpse of Venice as we emerged from the train station – we were struck dumb by how beautiful it was. Enjoy!
