Move away from the 3-4 places the tourists cram into, and simply walk around. The Ghetto - the "original" Jewish ghetto - is particularly interesting. Get over to the Giudecca island. Maybe even go see a football match if the local team is playing, it's quite an interesting atmosphere. If you're an early riser, a ride on the No. 1 Vaporetto from the station to Giardini along the Canal Grande is amazing.
I could not agree more with you. So much to enjoy in this magic place that is Venice. Two days is nothing. Same comment for Rome.

Agreed. Burano is super nice. But with only 2 days, Burano is out of reach and OP should concentrate on the main island. Murano : no interest.
