Walking directions to Hotel Antico Panada (with map)

From: Venice Hotel Directions

The three-star Hotel Antico Panada has been in business since 1889, but it offers all the modern features you'd expect--including free Wi-Fi in its doubles, twins,  triples, and quads.

The hotel is located on the Calle degli Specchieri, less than 50 meters from the Piazza San Marco and St. Mark's Basilica with no bridges to cross.

How to reach the Antico Panada from the San Marco Giardinetti airport-boat stop:

1. As you leave the Alilaguna boat pier, turn right and walk along the water. (Souvenir kiosks and a small public garden will be on your left.) You'll cross a low metal ramp over a canal.

2. At the Piazzetta (a large open space with two stone columns), turn left and walk into the Piazza San Marco.

3. Cross to the northeastern corner of the Piazza (to the right of the clock tower). Near the carved stone lions just beyond the Basilica, you'll see a narrow street called the Calle de la Rizza that leads into the Calle Specchieri.

4. Walk down the Calle Specchieri a short distance. The Hotel Antico Panada will be on your left.
