Location & what to see

Centauro Hotel is located in the San Marco district, a short walk from Campo Manin, one of the most famous and lively squares in Venice’s historic centre. The surrounding area offers the classic atmosphere of lagoon squares, characterized by pedestrian alleyways, stone bridges, and navigable canals running through the urban fabric. Right adjacent to the property stands Palazzo Contarini del Bovolo, a historic building famous worldwide for its impressive late-Gothic spiral staircase, situated just 10 metres from the hotel entrance.

To reach the hotel from the main arrival points, the nearest water bus stop is Rialto, located 350 metres away and reachable on foot in about 5 minutes. Frequent public water transport services depart from the Rialto landing stage to Venezia Santa Lucia Railway Station, 1.2 km away, and to the Piazzale Roma bus terminal, 1.5 km away. Venice Marco Polo International Airport is approximately 6 km away as the crow flies and is connected via Alilaguna water shuttle services or express shuttle buses departing from Piazzale Roma.

The central location within the San Marco district makes it easy to visit Venice’s most famous landmarks on foot. Piazza San Marco, with its renowned Basilica, Campanile, and Doge’s Palace, is 300 metres away, while the famous La Fenice Theatre is less than 250 metres away. Crossing the nearby Rialto Bridge leads directly into the San Polo district, an area known for its historic fruit, vegetable, and fish market, while numerous traditional osterias and bacari can be found in the immediate vicinity of Campo Manin.
