Calle Larga Ascensione, 1256, Venice VE, Italy

Meeting point:

The meeting point is next to the post office San Marco (opposite side of the Saint Marks Basilica). Look for the yellow sign "Meeting point" on the wooden kiosk. Leaving the Saint Mark's square behind you, it's the one on your right (not the newspaper shop on the left). If arriving by boat, take Vaporetto line No:1 or No:2, get off the San Marco (Vallaresso) boat stop, walk directly down “Calle Vallaresso” street and turn right into Saint Mark's square at the end of the street
