Walking directions to Hotel Flora (with map)

From: Venice Hotel Directions

The three-star Hotel Flora has long been popular with Venetophiles, thanks in part to a great location and a lovely private garden.

The Flora is no more than five or 10 minutes west of the Piazza San Marco, and there's only one small bridge to cross between the airport boat and the hotel.

How to reach the Hotel Flora from the San Marco Giardinetti airport-boat stop:

1. As you leave the boat station, turn left and cross a small stone bridge.

2. Continue a few meters to the Calle Vallaresso and turn right.

3. Walk straight ahead down the Calle Vallaresso, past Harry's Bar and a row of designer shops.

4. At the first corner, turn left into the Salizzada San Moisè.

5. Walk to the narrow canal alongside the Hotel Bauer, where you'll see gondolas on your left and a small bridge just ahead.

6. Cross the bridge and walk straight ahead down the Calle Larga XXII Marzo.

7. In a minute or so, you'll reach the Hotel Saturnia & International, which is on the right side of the street. Look left, and you'll see a sign for the Hotel Flora at the entrance to the Calle de Bergamaschi, across from the Hotel Saturnia.

8. The Hotel Flora is at the end of the short, narrow street.
