Venice has six districts, known as “sestieri.” Santa Croce is the district through which you access the city if you arrive by land. Here, you find the very lively Campo San Giacomo dall’Orio, where many Venetian families and children meet up to play in the open. It is a great place to experience authentic Venetian daily life and enjoy an evening aperitif.

The neighboring district of San Polo is home to the famous Rialto area, known for its iconic bridge and vibrant daily open-air fruit, vegetable, and fish markets (closed Sundays and Mondays). Filled with color, fragrance, and local character, it remains one of Venice’s most beloved gathering places.

A pleasant walk past Campo San Polo leads to the magnificent Basilica dei Frari, renowned for its impressive rose window and remarkable architecture. The surrounding streets are lined with artisan boutiques, traditional pastry shops, and charming cafés, making the area perfect for leisurely exploration and authentic Venetian experiences.
