While most people speed through San Polo to reach the famous sights of the city, this sestiere certainly deserves more attention than it gets.
At the edge of San Polo, you can find the Rialto bridge, with Rialto market at stone's throw - other landmarks of the Serenissima. Apart from the landmarks, however, it pays to just wander around the district, try streets and alleys that sometimes lead to a canal, sometimes to a small courtyard or a square - it is a great way to get to know San Polo. Some alleys are so narrow you can easily touch either side with your hands, sometimes you walk underneath houses in what appears like a tunnel, and sometimes you just end at a waterline and find a marvelous, apparently forgotten Venetian palace right opposite the canal. As with other areas of Venice, it pays to arrive very early if you want to have all the delights of San Polo for yourself.
