Tips:
Venice does flood, so take 2 pairs of shoes just in case you’re there when this happens and an extra pair of trousers
If you’re a fan of Pandora, take a trip to the island of Murano, where you can buy Murano glass charms. Look for the “Vetro Murano Artistico” trademark decal in the windows of shops and showrooms that sell authentic Murano glass
Water bus routes 4 & 5 (motoscafi) follow the coastline around the island, hopping across and back from the island of Murano along the way
