The San Marco district has them all: Venice's most famous sights. If you are looking for peace and quiet, this is not the place for you - everyone wants to see St. Mark's Square with St. Mark's Basilica and the imposing Doge's Palace. Hotels in historic buildings line the many squares, cafés set up their seating groups around the stone statues. There is always a souvenir stand somewhere nearby. The Rialto Bridge also stretches here over the Grand Canal, which borders San Marco to the west. Theaters like the top-rated La Fenice provide Venetian-appropriate entertainment.
