Venice isn't like every other city, so here are some special recommendations for you trip to this unique destination.
Clothing: Venice is a warmer climate, but obviously what you where depends on the time of year you go. No matter what I would recommend a good pare of shoes or sandals. Sandals, suck as Fit Flops or Clarks are perfect for comfort and keeping your feet cool, but sneakers are always a good choice, just no flat soles! I would also recommend a hat if you have sensitive skins, the sun can get very hot. And like any city layers are the best, cardigans, like windbreakers, things you can easily pull on and off and still tuck away in a belt loop or purse if you need to.
In you bag: A camera, obviously, but for those photography buffs out there make sure you remember your polarizer, you don't want to miss out on making that sky look extra blue. Sunscreen and sunglasses during sunny days.
A bottle of water. It can be expensive to buy it once in the city and you cannot drink the water there.
Change for the bathroom, you might have to pay to use the facilities and wet-ones or tissues for the same purpose.
A guide book, but it's not 100% necessary, although a map would be nice if not for any other reason than to find the train station.
Book: The Birth of Venus by Sarah Dunant, This historical tale of one of Italy's most famous artists will put your mind back to the time when Venice was tourist-free and fashionable.
Soundtrack: Beirut, Gulag Orkestar
