St Mark's Campanile: A Towering Icon of Venice

Getting There

• Vaporetto (Water Bus)

  From Venice Lido, head to the nearest Vaporetto stop, which is likely 'Lido - Santa Maria Elisabetta'. Purchase a ticket from the nearby ticket booth or use a Venice transport app. Board the Vaporetto Line 1 (direction: San Marco) or Line 2 (direction: Rialto). The ride to 'San Marco' takes approximately 25 minutes. Once you arrive at 'San Marco', follow the signs to 'Piazza San Marco'. St Mark's Campanile will be directly visible upon entering the square.

• Taxi

  If you prefer a more direct route, consider taking a water taxi from Venice Lido. Head to the nearest water taxi point, often found near the main beach or hotels. Water taxis are more expensive, costing around €30-€60 depending on the distance and time of day, but they provide a quick and personal journey to 'Piazza San Marco'. Upon arrival, disembark at the 'San Marco' area and walk towards the Campanile, which will be prominently located in the square.

• Bicycle

  As an alternative, you can rent a bicycle on Venice Lido. Cycle towards the ferry terminal at 'Lido - Santa Maria Elisabetta'. Here, you can park your bike and take the Vaporetto to 'San Marco'. After arriving, you can stroll through the beautiful streets to reach St Mark's Campanile. Note that bike rentals usually cost around €10-€15 per day.

• Walking (if nearby)

  If you are close to the Vaporetto stop 'Lido - Santa Maria Elisabetta', you can also walk to the stop and then take the Vaporetto to 'San Marco'. This is a great option if you want to enjoy the views along the waterfront. Once you arrive at 'San Marco', the Campanile is hard to miss as it towers over the square.
