Venice Tourist Information
Welcome to Venice

Strolling through the old, winding streets of Venice at some point you will find yourself on one of the city’s numerous squares, called campi in Italian, for they started out as grassy fields (campo means 'field'). Most smaller campi are known to hold daily markets, which have become an attraction in their own right. Piazza San Marco, the only piazza in Venice, is one of the most magnificent squares in the world, comprising a remarkable ensemble of architectural buildings. Campo San Polo, Campo Santa Margherita, Campo San Stefano and Campo dei Santi Giovanni e Paolo attract nearly as many visitors with their sights and unique atmosphere. Almost always located in front of a church and therefore paved, they are lively meeting places extremely valued by Venetians, young and older ones.
