Walking directions to Hotel Antiche Figure (with map)
Booking.com
The
Hotel Antiche Figure is one of the top three-star hotels near Santa Lucia
Railroad Station.
The Antiche Figure looks out on the Grand Canal and the station, and it's a great
choice if you don't mind hauling your bag over the Scalzi Bridge.
How to reach the Hotel Antiche Figure from the train
station:
-
Leave the station by main doors--or by
the easy-to-miss
side exit near Track 1, which will let you roll your suitcase down a
gentle incline instead of bumping it down a marble staircase.
-
Turn left and walk a short distance to the Scalzi Bridge,
which crosses the Grand Canal.
-
Go over the bridge and turn right onto the fondamenta
or waterfront sidewalk.
-
Walk past the domed church. The Hotel Antiche Figure is just
beyond.
From airport buses and taxis in the
Piazzale Roma:
-
Walk to the tree-lined side of the Piazzale Roma where a
red-and-white crosswalk from the central bus area feeds into a sidewalk
through the trees.
-
Go through the trees, past the vendor stands, to a low stone
bridge.
-
Cross the bridge. On the other side of the canal, turn left
and walk along the fondamenta or sidewalk by the park.
-
When you reach the corner, continue around to the right.
-
Beyond the park, you'll reach a second small bridge. Cross
it.
-
Walk along the water past the Hotel Airone and the Carlton
on the Grand Canal to the Hotel Antiche Figure.
From the Marittima cruise terminals:
-
Take a free shuttle bus (if available), a taxi, or the
People Mover elevated
tramway to the Piazzale Roma. (The People Mover's glass-enclosed station is
just beyond the port gates.)
-
Follow our directions from Piazzale Roma.
