how easy is it to walk from cruise port to St Marks

[Windy Miller]

We are sailing from and returning to Venice on June 18th on MSC Sinfonia. I went to Venice some 40yrs ago and loved walking through all the alleys etc

We dock at 8am and our flight home is not until 5pm, the cruise line is offering a half day walking tour with luggage storage for the duration.

Does anybody know how easy this would be to do independantly?

Is there anywhere for us to put our luggage (I would assume so as they are offering it on the tour) we don't mind paying within reason.

How far is St Marks sq and how long does it take to walk?

Very easy to DIY. You can take the people mover to Piazzale Roma & there is baggage storage there. Lots of great info here:

The walk from Piazzale Roma to St. Mark's square takes about 25 minutes.

The walk from your ship to the People Mover could be up to 1km.

 

From Piazzale Roma the walk to Piazza San Marco would be ±2km depending on your route. It's an easy walk if bridges aren't an issue for you.
