Location
A classy place in the most original Venice
Palazzo San Lorenzo is located a 5-minute walk from St. Mark's Square with its Doge's Palace and the famous Bridge of Sighs, and a little further from the Rialto Bridge, in one of the city's richest areas of art and characteristic corners.
At a stone's throw from Palazzo San Lorenzo you will also find: the Dalmatian School with paintings by Vettore Carpaccio; the Church of San Zaccaria that preserves Giovanni Bellini's masterpiece 'The Holy Conversation'; the ancient Basilica of Saints John and Paul; the monumental complex of the Greeks, with the Orthodox Church-Cathedral where you can visit the precious collection of Byzantine icons.
The district is characterised by the presence of renowned taverns and restaurants, among the best in the city, and by the proximity of the city's major shopping streets, where designer boutiques and shops selling antiques and local handicrafts coexist.
