ABOVE: San Clemente is the red island on this
antique map of the Venetian Lagoon. If you have a high-speed connection, see the
full-size map (565K). INSET: Private
hotel launch; sign on dock; Alilaguna airport boat.
How to reach the island
 The
San Clemente Palace is about 15 minutes from San Marco via the hotel's free
private launches. (The spacious, well-equipped boats were built at a cost of
€280,000 to €300,000 each, and they run several
times an hour in both directions.)
 Boats
depart from a slip by the Giardini Reali or Royal Gardens, just to the
right of the Piazzetta (the waterfront section of the Piazza San Marco) as you
face the water. Look for the octagonal Water Taxi booth next to the stone
balustrade, then look to your right for the small wooden San Clemente Palace
sign. If you don't see a boat, wait by the balustrade until the next launch
arrives.
 Tip:
If you're arriving from the airport, take the Alilaguna
Venice airport boat and get off at the
San Marco Vallaresso stop. Turn right as you leave the boat landing and walk
to the far end of the sidewalk in front of the park, where you'll find the Water
Taxi booth and the San Clemente Palace boat dock.
