Let's go Venice-hopping

The inspiration for this post: 7 April entry on my "1,000 Places" calendar

With its Grand Canal, water taxis, shop-lined bridges, and classic Renaissance architecture, Venice, Italy has a timeless appeal. It's the iconic canal city to which all other canal cities are compared. Wikipedia even has entries listing all the places nicknamed "Venice of the East" or "Venice of the North."

The five locations mentioned on my calendar are highlighted in Blue. The ones I have visited are highlighted in Green. Horseshoe close, but not quite? Yellow. 

Have you visited Venice? How many of the 28 other "Venices" have you visited? Which are your favorites? Which would you want to see next? Anyone want to go Venice-hopping?
