The train station is an easy walk to the north and Piazza San Marco is a 15- to 25-minute walk.

Venice is best known for Piazza San Marco, ringed with spectacular museums and St. Mark’s Basilica. But there’s much to see beyond the lure of San Marco, such as the art treasures of the Accademia Museum and the grandeur of the Grand Canal. The city offers endless museums and historic churches to explore, lovely architecture, artistic masterpieces and hidden beauty around every corner. There’s fascinating people-watching and lively neighborhood life that a 2-week stay will allow you to enjoy. The nearby Lido offers grand beaches, and the lagoon islands of Murano, Burano and Torcello offer fascinating diversions.

Outside Venice, easy day trips by rail include Padua, Vicenza, Treviso, Verona and Bologna.

The Fogher apartment owner lives in another area of Venice, but our Venice UnTour staff person is always available by cell phone if guests have problems or concerns.
