Go to Piazza di San Marco (St. Mark's Square). Its huge wide open spaces are such a contrast to the rest of the city. St. Mark's Church and Bell Tower are unique and gorgeous. The views from the top of the Bell Tower are spectacular. I spent several hours just relaxing in the square soaking all the beauty in. Watch out for the pigeons...if you have anything edible they will come after you!
