Venice's public toilets

Continued from page 1
ABOVE: Fortunately, the official public toilets
are nothing like this lavatory near the Port of Venice's San Basilio cruise
pier.
Locations of public toilets
Venice's public WCs are normally open during the day and early
evening; hours vary with the day and season. See the city of Venice's
official lavatory list, which also identifies handicapped-accessible
facilities.
Some of the toilets can be hard to find unless you're familiar
with the city, so try these first:
-
San Marco, in the Calle Large dell' Ascensione, which is just
beyond the narrow end of the Piazza San Marco.
Go through the archway, turn right, and look for the WCs (which are down a
short alley off the left side of the pedestrian street.)
Tips:
-
The Comune di Venezia's
interactive city map offers a vague picture of where WCs are located.
From the "Points of Interest" menu on the left, select "Venezia" and "Public
Toilets," click "Search," then click the "Display All" button under the
"Points Identified" list. (You can print the resulting map, but it won't do
you much good when you really need to go.)
-
If you're in
Dorsoduro, head for Ca' Rezzonico near the Ca' Rezzonico vaporetto stop
and use the impeccably maintained toilets in the lobby. The restrooms are free,
even if you don't visit the museum upstairs, and they're located next to the
gift shop and the cloakroom on the ground floor. (While you're at it, buy a
ticket to enjoy this museum of 17th Century Venice in a
restored palazzo.)
