Walking Directions in Venice

Venice has no streets, only calli (alleys), campi (small squares) and hundreds of bridges - and they all look alike at night. GPS barely works between the canals. imhere photographs every bridge and passage, so you always find your way back to the Rialto.

How to navigate Venice old town

Start from a vaporetto stop or a landmark like the Rialto Bridge. Each photo shows the actual calle, campo or bridge you cross. In Cannaregio, the alley signs point in Italian - the photos need no translation. Watch for the bridge steps shown in the next image.

From the airport to Venice

From VCE Marco Polo: take the Alilaguna water bus or a land bus to Piazzale Roma (~20 min), then walk or take a vaporetto. From Treviso (TSF): bus to Piazzale Roma (~50 min). Save an imhere route for the final walk from Piazzale Roma across the bridges to your hotel.

Frequently asked questions

How does imhere work?
Every route is a series of step-by-step photos with short directions. Open the route at your pickup point, then follow each photo.
Do I need GPS in Venice?
No. Between canals, GPS drifts badly; the photos of bridges, campi and calli are the reliable guide.
Does it work offline?
Yes. Routes work offline once opened - handy when you are deep in the calli.
Is imhere free?
Viewing routes is free. Creating and sharing your own routes uses a small number of points, earned by registering and viewing routes.
