We took a vaporetto to San Silvestro, a stop near the Rialto Bridge, for a walk around the neighborhood near the Rialto Markets. Here's an alley scene near San Silvestro.

Along the Grand Canal in the same area.

There are many beauiful, quiet alleys in the neighborhood.

The Rialto Bridge, with nearby buildings lining the Grand Canal. I thought it was one of the prettiest parts of Venice.

In the neighborhood near the Rialto Brdge, the walk along the Canal is lined with restaurants like this one.

Heading towards the Rialto Markets, which are next to the bridge, we saw all sorts of vendors. A fishmonger...

...and beautifully displayed vegetables.

The market was packed full of people the day we went, both tourists and locals doing their shopping.

Continuing with our tour, we took a vaporetto back to Dorsoduro, the neighborhood right across the Grand Canal from our hotel. We wanted to get a close up look at the big church, Santa Maria della Salute, that we could see from our hotel room window.
