First tip to Venice would be to reach there before sundown and get a map! It's really difficult to look for the hotel once it gets dark especially if it is not along lited areas. We had much difficulty rolling our luggage on stone pavements, carrying it through bridges, searching for the hotel and on top of that, in the dark! It felt like we have gone back to a different century.
In Venice, you can either walk or ride the water bus. And if you are interested to take the water bus, it would be advisable to get the Tourist Travel Card or else it would cost freaking EUR7 per trip.
You don't need to plan much for Venice. Just make sure you make your way to the main tourist attraction, St Marks Square, where the Basilica, Bell Tower, Museum and Clock Tower is. Right next to that is where the shopping is. You should just talk a stroll around even if you are not interested to get anything. And of cos, like what everyone says, you should experience getting lost in Venice. That's not difficult at all! The alleys looks the same everywhere and this is one place where the map comes in very handy. You may even stumble upon some hidden gems on the way, like the Rosa Salva cafe! Their lasagna is absolutely delicious! And oh! Please try hot chocolates in Venice too! That's where I fell in love with hot chocolate drinks.
Anyway, 2 days 1 night in Venice is definitely do-able, if you are just interested to go around the island.
