I paid my first visit to Venice recently,
After a bit of a round trip with Ryanair,which had us landing in Trieste rather then Treviso,we still managed to arrive unscathed.To be fair to the airline,there was a really thick fog over Treviso,so It wasn't there fault.
We stayed in the Palazzo Paruta Hotel in Venice,which is about a 3/4 min walk from The Accademia Bridge.
You don't need me to tell you anything about Venice.The history books as well as countless guide books provide much more information then I could ever impart here.Suffice it to say It live up to all my expectations and then some.
I will just say this ,Venice is a traffic free city,and as such ,be prepared to walk and walk and then walk some more.But it won't be like any walk you've done before.
Venice is not just a visual feast, every where you look, listen, and smell will arouse your senses.
As I said before walking around Venice is the way to go,but if the legs are feeling a little tired, then just find a little cafe, or indeed just sit along the banks of the grand canal and people watch.Listen to the different accents and languages.It's fascinating to watch the day to day activities of the locals going about there business in an environment that many of us would struggle with.
But above all else, make sure you DO visit Venice.
