Walking in Venice
Finding your way with maps, directions, and street signs
ABOVE: If you aren't traveling with a
direction-sniffing service dog, read the advice in this article.
 It's
often said that getting lost is half the fun when you're exploring Venice, but
there are times when you simply want to find your destination--especially if you're jetlagged
and need to reach your hotel, or when it's 2 p.m. and your train leaves at 2:30.
 In the
following pages, we'll show how to rescue yourself when you're
lost in Venice's rabbit warren of calli and campi.
Note: This article is
geared toward pedestrian travel in Venice. For advice on getting around the city
by vaporetto, water taxi, and other modes of transport, see
Arriving in Venice and our
Venice local transportation index.
