About San Polo & Santa Croce: the back story

Across the Rialto Bridge from San Marco, San Polo and Santa Croce hold the markets, the Frari and the Scuola Grande di San Rocco, with Aman Venice and Palazzo Venart on the Grand Canal.

The Rialto

The Erberia and the Pescaria at the foot of the bridge.

The Frari

Titian at the Frari and Tintoretto at San Rocco, a few steps apart.

Start at the market in the morning.

Our advice: go to the market before 10am.
