Maps:

Here are a few instructions on how to get to the ISDGM-CNR by public boat (Vaporetto). Remember there are only two ways to get around Venice -- either on foot or by boat.

Walking: Best thing to do is to find the Rialto Bridge and proceed by foot along the Grand Canal (Fondamenta del Vin). Follow it until you have to turn right, which will lead you into Campo San Silvestro, cross the square and take the street that leads into Campo Sant’Aponal. Once in the square there are three streets on your left take the one in the middle (Calle di Mezo), which leads into Campiello dei Meloni. Walk ahead until you see the florist, Biancat, on your right, directly in front to your left is the street Calle della Malvasia at the end of it there is the large iron gate of Palazzo Papadopoli where CNR is located. In case you don’t follow the street along the canal, go straight down from the Rialto Bridge along the Ruga d. Orefici passing the vendor booths until you reach the wider Ruga Vecchia S. Giovanni (to the locals Ruga Rialto!), turn left and keep walking until Campo Sant’Aponal and continue with the direction above.

Vaporetto: Take line no. 1 to the San Silvestro Boat Stop and follow the street under the "sottoportico", make a left and then a right and you will be on the street leading into Campo Sant’Aponal. From this point follow the walking directions.
