Walking in Venice

Venice is the ultimate walking city: a car-free maze of canals, bridges and alleys where getting lost is half the pleasure and the quietest corners are a few minutes from St Mark's Square.

Bridges. Hundreds of bridges, almost all with steps. A few have temporary ramps. Wheeled luggage and pushchairs are hard work, so travel light.

Navigation. GPS is unreliable among tall stone buildings. Follow the yellow-and-black signs to Rialto, San Marco, Ferrovia (station) and Piazzale Roma, and allow time to get lost. Addresses use district numbers, so note a nearby campo too.
