Piazza San Marco.

The Bridge of Sigh, from which both Oxford and Cambridge built their bridges.

Cafes, markets, and fresh seafood. The cuttlefish linguine is particularly delightful, despite the jet black color from the ink.

Taking the vaporetto. Quite a wonderful way to travel, the public boat transportation.

Of course, you could potentially have your own boat and park it somewhere like this, but lets not dream too much.

If you ever want a safe place to go get lost in where you will find no end of interesting things to look at, go to Venice.
