You can arrive to St. Mark's with a beautiful walk among the picturesque alleys and suggestive little squares and along Via XXII Marzo, the location of numerous prestigious boutiques full of world renowned designer clothes and accessories. In Rialto, the famous bridge awaits you with its picturesque little shops, colorful fruit market and characteristic fish store. Instead, if you arrive from Calle della Mandola, with its lively craft shops, stop off in Campo Manin for a look at one of the few modern buildings in the city. Close by you will find the Scala del Bovolo in Palazzo Contarini, this very usual spiral staircase built at the end of the fifteenth-century. For art lovers, the Locanda Antico Fiore is just 10 minutes walk from the Gallerie dell'Accademia, one of the most important Italian and international art galleries which hosts paintings by some of the most famous artists from Veneto, from Bellini to Giorgione, Carpaccio to Titian, from Tintoretto to Veronese and Tiepolo. Slightly ahead you will find another important collection: the Peggy Guggenheim Collection, the most important collection of twentieth-century American art.
