Campo San Giacomo dall’Orio is magnificently ordinary, a suburban oasis. This campo is a welcome relief from the hustle and bustle of thoroughfares like Strada Nuovo and the madding crowds of Piazza San Marco. The features of this walk are numbered; however, it can be taken in any order, from the middle and work out, or enter from the north or south. A thorough stroll around this lovely campo would cover approximately 500 metres. If you are taking in the Turchi walk (Walk #8 from 17 Walks In Venice) then you could use this as a diversion stop before or after some of the major features of that walk.
This walk is a sub-section of Walk #8 ‘Turchi‘ It is ideal if you have limited time or if you want to pack in lots of features over a short distance. If you do have extra time on your hands, taking in the full details offered along this route will take 3-4 hours.
