Take a walk, smell the roses. Any topic is fine, save people bashing.

In Venice: have good walking shoes. It's famously a place for getting lost.

And that goes double for anytime you've had a drink.
Must see films before you go---- and I mean MUST SEE:
"Don't Look Now!"
"The Comfort of Strangers."
Nothing creepier than Venice on a cold, drizzly night and these films convey it, perfectly.
Another hint whilst in Venice: tourists are a lazy lot. If you want to visit and truly appreciate the nicest outdoor spots, including "that" favorite square, get up at six a. m. and start walking. Locals aren't up, either. It's truly special at that time of day, less noise from the boats and the seemingly innumerable hordes of tourists. At night, it's somewhat the same (excepting the summer), but since it's chilly as hell late at night, it's not the best time: the dark only compounds the ease of getting lost, too.
Besides, you may run into Christopher Walken (see "Comfort of Strangers")....
