Campos, Calles and Canals: walk away from San Marco

  • We've already established you need to see San Marco and that surrounding area, but the most enjoyable time will be when you get up early and go in the opposite direction and find the other less visited areas. There are countless small calles, canals and campos to explore. I'll admit I had a really good map (Roughguide) beforehand, and I did use it somewhat. But if you don't have anywhere specific to be at any given time...just walk around, and around , and around. I passed some places more than once (and probably took the same picture), but how nice it is to be wandering around without other people constantly in your viewfinder.

    Directions: The San Polo and Cannaregio districts are especially nice.

  • OK while your're doing the obligatory San Marco area, I think the lift ride and the 6 euros to the top of the Campanile is worth it for the views out over the lagoon and all of Venice really. Especially don't miss it on a nice day. Its neat to see the piazza from this vantage point.
