'''An orientation for visitors arriving for the first time.'''
<flickr>322185338|m|right</flickr>You are planning your first trip to [[Venice]]? If so, this introductory guide will make your task easier.
As you can see from the Google satellite map below, [[Venice]] it is an island city.
[[Immagine:Ponte chiodo.jpg|400px|left]]The historic center is a tightly integrated set of 117 small islands that are linked by more than 410 [[Bridges of Venice|Bridges]]. Every time you cross a bridge, you are entering another island.
The entire center of the city only covers about 725 hectares, which is a bit 'more than twice the size of Central Park in New York or London's Hampstead Heath.
In the satellite photo, the '''Old Town''' is connected to the mainland by Mestre [[Ponte della Libertà|Liberty Bridge]], a long causeway was built in the early 19th century. You can also see the Marco Polo airport of [[Venice]] on the top of [[Laguna|Lagoon]], about 6 km from the city center.
The [[Ponte della Libertà|Liberty Bridge]] introduces the road traffic in [[Piazzale Roma]], the only point where they can get the car, and the parking of [[Isola del Tronchetto|Tronchetto Island]].
[[Immagine:4) Ponte degli Scalzi.jpg|400px|right]]The railway line that runs alongside the road and ends at [[Saint Lucia Railway Station]] that is visible where the road curves to the [[Isola del Tronchetto|Tronchetto Island]].
Other important islands near the old town are the [[Giudecca]], separate from the old town by the [[Canale della Giudecca|Giudecca Canal]] which is also used by cruise ships, [[San Michele|St. Michael]], in which island is the cemetery of [[Venice]], and the glass island of [[Murano]].
Right to the east of the old town, it is the [[Lido]] of [[Venice]], a long, narrow strip of land that separates the [[Laguna|Lagoon]] around Venice from the Adriatic Sea.
Cruise ships and ferries entering and leaving the lagoon through Bocca di Porto of [[Lido]], which separates the Venetian Lido with the other beach of [[Punta Sabbioni]].
Now that you have a [[Venice]] overview of geography, enlarge the map by clicking the +
Here's what you'll see:
[[Immagine:Palazzo Ducale.jpg|470px|right]]To the left margin of the plant is located on the island of Tronchetto car park, the Maritime cruise terminal station, the bus terminal of [[Piazzale Roma]] (at the end of Liberty Bridge), and on the right, the [[Ferrovia|Railway Station Saint Lucia]].
From [[Piazzale Roma]] and the train station, start the [[Grand Canal]] through the city towards the [[Bacino di San Marco|St. Mark's Basin]], where [[San Marco|St. Mark]] Square is visible under the word [[Venice]]. (You can zoom the map to see better.)
You will also notice the word '''Sestiere''' on the map. [[Venice]] Central is divided into six [[Sestieri|the districts]]: [[Cannaregio]], [[Castello]], [[Dorsoduro]], [[San Polo]], [[Santa Croce]] and [[San Marco|Saint Mark]].
The names of [[Sestieri]] have to know above all to avoid getting lost: if the hotel confirmation is, for example, the Hotel San Moise, identified by address ''' [[St. Mark]] 2058 ''' hotel, you'll have a rough idea of the hotel's location within the city, but following signs of ''' Venicewiki.org ''' [[http://venicewiki.org/wiki/Home|Venicewiki. org]] you will easily find what you are looking for.
Venicewiki.org accompany you in all the places known and even lesser known ones as it is written by the Venetians who know both places that the millennial history that distinguishes them.
Our guide will lead you to discover [[Squares of Venice: Campo|campo]] and Campielli, [[Bridges of Venice|Bridge]] and [[Itineraries in Venice| routes]], Monuments and [[Chiese|Churches]], but also [[Negozi|Shops]], [[Ristoranti e trattorie|Restaurants & trattorias]], [[Osterie e bacari]] to the premises where you eat the typical '''cicchetti''' and every '''Venetian specialties'''.
