While walking along the streets is fun, you can get around much easier on the city's many canals. As you cruise down the Grand Canal, Venice's main "street", in a vaporetto or water taxi, you'll pass under the Rialto Bridge, a famous Venetian landmark. Get off the water taxi and walk across the bridge. Enjoy the view and the many shops that line the bridge.
In those shops, you'll likely see lots of the glass that Venice is famous for. To see glass-making demonstrations, visit the tiny island of Murano. In 1291 all glass makers in Venice had to move to Murano because their foundries endangered the city's many modern buildings, while on Murano, don't forget to buy some glass as a souvenir.

And last but not least, take a romantic, relaxing gondola ride through the canals at right. You can then truly experience the charm of Venice.
