Walking directions to Locanda Ca' San Marcuola (with map)

From: Venice Hotel Directions

The Locanda Ca' San Marcuola is a guest house on a small, quiet square just off the Grand Canal. It's close to the San Marcuola vaporetto stop, but--more important if you're on a budget--it's within walking distance of the Guglie airport-boat stop and the Santa Lucia railroad station.

All 12 rooms at the Locanda Ca' San Marcuola are air-conditioned and have private bathrooms. Wi-Fi is free.

How to reach the Locanda Ca' San Marcuola from the Guglie airport-boat stop (Alilaguna Linea Arancio):

1. As you leave the boat platform, turn right.

2. Walk to the Ponte delle Guglie (a stone bridge that spans the Cannaregio Canal). Turn left at the foot of the bridge.

3. Walk on the Rio Terà  S. Leonardo  until it curves sharply and becomes the Rio Terà Farsetti. Look for signs that direct you to the San Marcuola vaporetto stop and the San Marcuola traghetto pier.

4. Follow the signs to the Campo San Marcuola, where you'll find the Locanda Ca' San Marcuola on the east side of the square, to the right of the church.

2. When you reach the wide fondamenta or pavement in front of the station, turn left.

3. Walk past the Scalzi Church and the Scalzi Bridge toward the Rio Terà Lista di Spagna (a busy shopping street).

4. Continue down the Lista di Spagna and through the Campo San Geremia to the Ponte delle Guglie, which is a stone bridge over the Cannaregio Canal.

5. Cross the bridge.

6. Continue straight ahead on the Rio Terà Leonardo until it curves sharply and becomes the Rio Terà Farsetti. Look for signs that direct you to the San Marcuola vaporetto stop and the San Marcuola traghetto pier.
