City map of Venice: A good map of Venice is essential!

Venice is divided into 6 Sestieri, or 6 main districts, each of which has its own house numbers, which are assigned according to the Sestieri rather than the streets. If you are not a Venetian, it is therefore not easy to find the name of a calle (street) based solely on a house number in the sestiere.

But don't worry, in the the menu above (or in the list below) you will find which street each house number belongs to for each sestiere.

Mandatory: A Good Detailed Venice Map!

One of the charms of Venice is that you can easily get lost there, especially when night falls.

But this “charm” can quickly be transformed into irritation or even a moment of panic when one is absolutely lost.

If that happens, precisely, do not panic! In most cases, you are never more than some hundred of meters from your destination and if you continue to walk in the same direction, you inevitably come to one of the “edges” of the quarter, from there they know right away where they are and continuation is easy.

Besides, you will always find a Venetian to help you find your way but in that case, it is better to have a map on yourself so that when he explains the directions, you do not risk misunderstanding a long speech in Italian...

Maps in... Paper

For your foot travels in Venice, we recommend the Detailed Map of Venice Italy of the Italian Touring Club.

It is found it at all the Venice booksellers, very easily recognizable by the red color.

One of the features of this Map also that it does a decent job of representing the itineraries of the lines of vaporetti.

Essential for the lovers of precision, and it is yet "-" the Map all Venetians use, is the famous "Calli, Campielli e Canali".

However, it is distinctly more difficult to carry on one, because it is in fact a true book of more than 200 pages and format.
