2. Cross the bridge and continue walking on the Zattere, which is the pedestrian promenade alongside the Giudecca Canal.

3. In a few minutes, you'll reach a bridge called the Ponte Lungo.

4. Cross the bridge, immediately turn left, and walk straight ahead on the Fondamenta Nani (the street that runs alongside the San Trovaso Canal).
