I travelled to Venice by train via Paris and Zurich- unfortunately I only spent 2 days in this fascinating city due to a family emergency back home, but I have a few recommendations.
Row Venice offers a "Venetian rowing lesson". This is a very enjoyable experience which will teach you how to row a gondolier, while exploring the city waterways.
Travel to St Mark's Basilica and Square early in the morning to avoid the crowds. The area is very similarly quiet and beautifully lit in late evening.
Avoid communicating with street merchants! They have products (mostly fake designer handbags, etc) for sale at 'fantastic prices' in most touristy areas of the city. Whilst approaching you to 'only give you information', it is very difficult to leave once engaged in conversation.
