Try Arsenale or around Campo Santa Margherita and the beautiful Del Frari Church for a start. If it's raining or misty, so much the better. If it's December, the Christmas market near Accademia Bridge will warm you up. For half a euro cross the canal by shared traghetti gondala and stand like the locals.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/16825 Local tour operator http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/16166 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/16166 Free water taxi to Murano http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/13251
This is worth a trip anyway, plus it's worthwhile wandering around the shops.

The only catch is that you'll get the sales pitch from the staff on the way out. The prices here are ridiculously high. You can buy exactly the same glassware outside the factory for less. So just stiffen up your lip and walk on out.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/13251 Capannina Beach http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/6580 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/6580
