    Ignore the house numbers

    Posted by StevieBee 5 April 2006

    Venice house numbers seem to have been designed for the convenience of bureaucrats, rather than for ordinary people trying to find a particular address. Venice is divided into six districts (sestrieres) and in each district they started numbering at one and went on until every house had a number. It's better instead to carry a map and put big crosses on places you want to find again.
