Walking directions to A Tribute to Music (with map)

From: Venice Hotel Directions

Venice's A Tribute to Music is a residenza (an upscale guest house, similar to a hotel) on the Riva degli Schiavoni, where it shares prime waterfront real estate with luxury hotels such as the Danieli and Metropole. Rooms range from doubles, triples, and quads to an apartment with a terrace and Lagoon view.

The hotel is just a short walk from the Arsenale stop of Alilaguna's Blue Line airport boat, with one bridge to cross.

How to reach A Tribute to Music from the Arsenale airport-boat stop:

1. As you leave the Alilaguna Linea Blu boat pier at Arsenale, turn left and walk to the stone bridge.

2. Cross the bridge.

3. Continue walking past the Hotel Gabrieli. A Tribute to Music will be ahead and on your right.

From the Marittima cruise terminals:

1. Take the Alilaguna Blue Line airport boat from the cruise basin to Arsenale. (The price will be about half of the airport fare.)

2. Follow the directions above.

From the San Basilio cruise pier:

1. Leave the terminal by the main doors and walk to the wooden bridge.

2. Cross the bridge and walk a short distance to the vaporetto station.

3. Take the No. 2 vaporetto (water bus) in the direction of San Zaccaria.

4. Get off at the Zaccaria stop, turn right, cross the stone bridge, and continue walking along the waterfront until you reach A Tribute to Music.
