Walking directions to Hotel Diana (with map)

From: Venice Hotel Directions

The three-star Hotel Diana is just north of the Piazza San Marco and St. Mark's Basilica.

The Diana has 28 rooms, including several that are accessible by guests with wheelchairs (a rarity in Venice). Wi-Fi is free throughout the premises.

How to reach the Hotel Diana from San Marco Giardinetti:

1. As you leave the Alilaguna airport-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 Diana will be on your right.

From the Marittima cruise terminals:

1. Take the Alilaguna Blue Line airport boat from the cruise basin to the San Marco Giardinetti waterbus stop.

2. Follow the directions above.
