About Castello

Historic eastern Venice with narrow pedestrian lanes, grand palazzi, churches, small squares, and canals. This western part of Castello is close to San Marco and the Riva degli Schiavoni, so it is lively and visitor-oriented by day, while quieter residential streets begin farther east.

Watch out for

• Watch bags and phones in crowded streets near San Marco and the waterfront.
