The Grand Canal by CandS
Make sure you see the Grand Canal (it's hard to miss anyway). It is really nice!
We missed out on a gondola ride because of the bad weather but it would have been worth the expensive fee if we could have gone. With a group of 4 or 6 the price would have been pretty good anyway...
