Walking directions to Hotel San Zulian (with map)

From: Venice Hotel Directions

The three-star, 22-room Hotel San Zulian (Venetian dialect for "St. Julian Hotel") has a delightful location at the corner of Calle Specchieri and the Campo della Guerra, just around the corner from the San Zulian church.

From the Piazza San Marco, the San Zulian is an easy two- or three-minute walk.

How to reach Hotel San Zulian from the San Marco Giardinetti airport-boat stop:

1. As you leave the boat platform, 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 named the Calle de la Rizza that leads into the Calle Specchieri.

4. Walk down the Calle Specchieri. You'll soon reach a corner where you'll see café tables and an awning with the name "Albergo San Zulian."
