Let’s get to know the neighborhoods of Venice better?<\/strong><\/h3>\nNow let’s get to know details about each neighborhood. Venice may seem confusing; something like a huge maze of canals and bridges, but the main island is very well organized and divided into six neighborhoods. They are: San Marco, San Polo, Dorsoduro, Cannaregio, Castello and Santa Croce<\/strong>. Shall we know them?<\/p>\n![\"Where](\"http:\/\/www.italysdreamtourism.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/venezia-mappa.gif\")
<\/p>\n
1) Knowing the Neighborhoods of Venice: SAN MARCO<\/strong><\/h3>\nSan Marco, home to one of the city’s postcards, is the oldest in the city.<\/strong> Despite being the smallest of them, it is where the heart of Venice beats: the famous Basilica San Marco,<\/strong><\/a> dedicated to the city’s patron, is the highlight of the neighborhood and one of the most visited places by tourists from all over the world. It is also the first place to flood when the famous \u2018acqua alta\u2019(hight tide)<\/em><\/strong><\/a> happens, which is the phenomenon where the tide rises and literally occupies the city. This is where the Doge’s Palace<\/a>, the Campanile and, of course, Piazza San Marco are located.<\/strong><\/p>\nPiazza San Marco<\/strong><\/h4>\nThe distance from Santa Lucia station<\/strong> to the downtown, Piazza San Marco<\/strong>, is approximately 2.3 km and you can walk there, although it is not the best option, even for convenience reasons: think that you will be with luggage and, probably, with the tiredness of the trip already \u2018screaming in your body\u2019. The best option, in terms of cost benefit, is to take a vaporetto<\/em>,<\/strong> a very common means of transport in the city. Take the boat at the point of Ferrovia B; then get off at the closest station to your hotel (always check the nearest stop on the hotel website). The ride takes 20 minutes. Read here<\/strong> How to use the vaporetto in Venice?<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n2) Knowing the Neighborhoods of Venice: SAN POLO<\/strong><\/h3>\nIt is the neighborhood where the famous Rialto Bridge<\/strong> is located and was chosen by residents who wanted to ‘escape’ from high tide floods. Crowded with shops, bars and restaurants, it is one of the liveliest neighborhoods in Venice. It has also been there, since 1097, the notorious Venice Market<\/strong>. Once there, take the opportunity to also visit the Basilica dedicated to Santa Maria Gloriosa dei Frari and the Scuola Grande di San Rocco, which was built in 1478 and is one of the most beautiful buildings in Venice. To get from Santa Lucia station to San Polo, it will take you about 17 minutes by vaporetto<\/em>. The distance is 1.1 km, but it makes a few stops along the way. Get off at the San Stae<\/strong> stop.<\/p>\n3) Knowing the Neighborhoods of Venice: DORSODURO<\/strong><\/h3>\nOn the southwest side of Venice<\/strong>, the neighborhood got its name from being located in one of the highest areas of the city, in addition to being in a very stable geographic region compared to the rest of the city. No wonder its name means something like ‘hard back’<\/strong>. This is the university district, so it is where most of the city’s young population is concentrated.<\/p>\nThe Famous Art Galleries<\/strong><\/h4>\nThe neighborhood is also home to the city’s two main galleries: the Academy of Fine Arts in Venice<\/strong> and the Peggy Guggenheim Collection.<\/strong> Two of the main tourist spots, however, are its two churches: the Church of Santa Maria della Salute<\/strong> and the Church of San Sebastian<\/strong>. Passing through the Grand Canale<\/strong> (the city’s main canal), which passes through Venice from end to end, you can also see the Ca’Rezzonico Palace<\/strong> and the Square called Campo Santa Margherita<\/strong>, ideal for those who like the excitement of day and night! To get from Santa Lucia station to Dorsoduro<\/strong>, take the vaporetto<\/em> on Ferrovia B and get off at the St. Tom\u00e0 DX<\/strong> stop. The ride time is approximately 27 minutes.<\/p>\n4) Knowing the Neighborhoods of Venice: CANNAREGIO<\/strong><\/h3>\nTo the north of the city is where Santa Lucia Station<\/strong>, the most famous in Venice, is located. It is the most populous, but, from the tourist point of view, it is perhaps one of the least interesting. A place worth visiting is the Jewish Ghetto, in the heart of the neighborhood, with its beautiful synagogues. To get from Santa Lucia to Cannaregio, <\/strong>take the vaporetto<\/em> on Ferrovia B and get off at the San Marcuola Casino<\/strong> stop. It will take you about 10 minutes.<\/p>\n5) Knowing the Neighborhoods of Venice: CASTELLO<\/strong><\/h3>\nTo the east of the island, it received this name because it houses a castle built there in Roman times<\/strong>. It is the largest neighborhood in Venice and encompasses the tourist area, close to the Doge’s Palace, and goes to the part where the residences of the former shipyard workers are located, which is also located in the region. The neighborhood is almost completely taken over by an old shipyard, the Arsenale<\/strong>, in addition to having some historic buildings. It is worth visiting the largest church in Venice, the Basilica Santi Giovanni e Paolo<\/strong> and visiting the Naval Museum<\/strong>, which is incredible! To get to Castello from Santa Lucia<\/strong>, take the vaporetto<\/em> on Ferrovia C and get off at the Arsenale stop. The ride takes about 35 minutes.<\/p>\n6) Knowing the Neighborhoods of Venice: SANTA CROCE<\/strong><\/h3>\nTo close the \u2018sestieri\u2019<\/em>, we have Santa Croce<\/strong>, which is a kind of entry and exit<\/strong> from the city. It is the only region in Venice that allows motor vehicles to circulate (with some limitations). There is also Piazzale Roma<\/a><\/strong>, a bus station<\/strong> that provides buses to and from Venice airport to the center and vice versa.<\/p>\nAbout the Neighborhood<\/strong><\/h4>\nIt is the most humble neighborhood in the city, but its streets are super pleasant. It mixes with industrial districts and few attractions for tourists, but very important for the city. It has no major tourist attractions and is used, for the most part, as parking. In spite of everything, it has three small churches that can be interesting to visit: the Church of San Giacomo dell’Orio<\/strong>, the Church of San Nicola di Tolentino<\/strong> and the Church of San Simeon Grando<\/strong>.<\/p>\nTo get to Santa Croce from Santa Lucia<\/strong>, take the vaporetto<\/em> from the station on Ferrovia C and get off at Piazzale Roma station<\/strong><\/a>. If you prefer (it’s even easier!), take a direct bus from the airport that stops at Piazzale Roma, which is where the city’s bus station is.<\/p>\nTake a look at these maps to understand how the city is organized:<\/strong><\/h5>\n

No problems!<\/strong> Search for Mestre, Campalto or Favaro Veneto<\/strong>, which are the mainland cities of Venice and offer excellent accommodation options. A little further from Piazzale Roma, about 20 minutes by water transport, they do not have magnificent views from the bedroom windows, but it is ideal for those who want to save on accommodation.<\/p>\n Now let’s get to know details about each neighborhood. Venice may seem confusing; something like a huge maze of canals and bridges, but the main island is very well organized and divided into six neighborhoods. They are: San Marco, San Polo, Dorsoduro, Cannaregio, Castello and Santa Croce<\/strong>. Shall we know them?<\/p>\n San Marco, home to one of the city’s postcards, is the oldest in the city.<\/strong> Despite being the smallest of them, it is where the heart of Venice beats: the famous Basilica San Marco,<\/strong><\/a> dedicated to the city’s patron, is the highlight of the neighborhood and one of the most visited places by tourists from all over the world. It is also the first place to flood when the famous \u2018acqua alta\u2019(hight tide)<\/em><\/strong><\/a> happens, which is the phenomenon where the tide rises and literally occupies the city. This is where the Doge’s Palace<\/a>, the Campanile and, of course, Piazza San Marco are located.<\/strong><\/p>\n The distance from Santa Lucia station<\/strong> to the downtown, Piazza San Marco<\/strong>, is approximately 2.3 km and you can walk there, although it is not the best option, even for convenience reasons: think that you will be with luggage and, probably, with the tiredness of the trip already \u2018screaming in your body\u2019. The best option, in terms of cost benefit, is to take a vaporetto<\/em>,<\/strong> a very common means of transport in the city. Take the boat at the point of Ferrovia B; then get off at the closest station to your hotel (always check the nearest stop on the hotel website). The ride takes 20 minutes. Read here<\/strong> How to use the vaporetto in Venice?<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n It is the neighborhood where the famous Rialto Bridge<\/strong> is located and was chosen by residents who wanted to ‘escape’ from high tide floods. Crowded with shops, bars and restaurants, it is one of the liveliest neighborhoods in Venice. It has also been there, since 1097, the notorious Venice Market<\/strong>. Once there, take the opportunity to also visit the Basilica dedicated to Santa Maria Gloriosa dei Frari and the Scuola Grande di San Rocco, which was built in 1478 and is one of the most beautiful buildings in Venice. To get from Santa Lucia station to San Polo, it will take you about 17 minutes by vaporetto<\/em>. The distance is 1.1 km, but it makes a few stops along the way. Get off at the San Stae<\/strong> stop.<\/p>\n On the southwest side of Venice<\/strong>, the neighborhood got its name from being located in one of the highest areas of the city, in addition to being in a very stable geographic region compared to the rest of the city. No wonder its name means something like ‘hard back’<\/strong>. This is the university district, so it is where most of the city’s young population is concentrated.<\/p>\n The neighborhood is also home to the city’s two main galleries: the Academy of Fine Arts in Venice<\/strong> and the Peggy Guggenheim Collection.<\/strong> Two of the main tourist spots, however, are its two churches: the Church of Santa Maria della Salute<\/strong> and the Church of San Sebastian<\/strong>. Passing through the Grand Canale<\/strong> (the city’s main canal), which passes through Venice from end to end, you can also see the Ca’Rezzonico Palace<\/strong> and the Square called Campo Santa Margherita<\/strong>, ideal for those who like the excitement of day and night! To get from Santa Lucia station to Dorsoduro<\/strong>, take the vaporetto<\/em> on Ferrovia B and get off at the St. Tom\u00e0 DX<\/strong> stop. The ride time is approximately 27 minutes.<\/p>\n To the north of the city is where Santa Lucia Station<\/strong>, the most famous in Venice, is located. It is the most populous, but, from the tourist point of view, it is perhaps one of the least interesting. A place worth visiting is the Jewish Ghetto, in the heart of the neighborhood, with its beautiful synagogues. To get from Santa Lucia to Cannaregio, <\/strong>take the vaporetto<\/em> on Ferrovia B and get off at the San Marcuola Casino<\/strong> stop. It will take you about 10 minutes.<\/p>\n To the east of the island, it received this name because it houses a castle built there in Roman times<\/strong>. It is the largest neighborhood in Venice and encompasses the tourist area, close to the Doge’s Palace, and goes to the part where the residences of the former shipyard workers are located, which is also located in the region. The neighborhood is almost completely taken over by an old shipyard, the Arsenale<\/strong>, in addition to having some historic buildings. It is worth visiting the largest church in Venice, the Basilica Santi Giovanni e Paolo<\/strong> and visiting the Naval Museum<\/strong>, which is incredible! To get to Castello from Santa Lucia<\/strong>, take the vaporetto<\/em> on Ferrovia C and get off at the Arsenale stop. The ride takes about 35 minutes.<\/p>\n To close the \u2018sestieri\u2019<\/em>, we have Santa Croce<\/strong>, which is a kind of entry and exit<\/strong> from the city. It is the only region in Venice that allows motor vehicles to circulate (with some limitations). There is also Piazzale Roma<\/a><\/strong>, a bus station<\/strong> that provides buses to and from Venice airport to the center and vice versa.<\/p>\n It is the most humble neighborhood in the city, but its streets are super pleasant. It mixes with industrial districts and few attractions for tourists, but very important for the city. It has no major tourist attractions and is used, for the most part, as parking. In spite of everything, it has three small churches that can be interesting to visit: the Church of San Giacomo dell’Orio<\/strong>, the Church of San Nicola di Tolentino<\/strong> and the Church of San Simeon Grando<\/strong>.<\/p>\n To get to Santa Croce from Santa Lucia<\/strong>, take the vaporetto<\/em> from the station on Ferrovia C and get off at Piazzale Roma station<\/strong><\/a>. If you prefer (it’s even easier!), take a direct bus from the airport that stops at Piazzale Roma, which is where the city’s bus station is.<\/p>\n\n
