San Marco is the most heavily tourist-trafficked section of Venice. Since the Bauer is in the relatively quiet Campo San Moise, the hotel provides the convenience of being in the area without having to deal, immediately at least, with its swarms.

Minutes away from the property are all of the major sites: the Basilica San Marco and Palazzo Ducale, the Rialto and Accademia bridges, and enough churches to provide your fill of paintings and penitence.

The luxury shopping area known as the Merceries is also within walking distance. And the hotel is located at the base of the Grand Canal, making it very easy to hop on a gondola or vaporetto.
