If you enjoy train travel, there's nothing quite like arriving in Sta Lucia station early in the morning, walking out and seeing the Grand Canal right in front of you.
Be sure to look out the window as the train approaches Venice. The final stretch, as the train crosses a causeway built in the lagoon, allows you to see the tower of San Marco. It's absolutely magical.
