    San Polo
    The Rialto Bridge is the most famous sight along the
    Grand Canal in San Polo, smallest of Venice's six
    sestieri (districts) and by far the busiest
    neighborhood. Morning Venetians arrive to peruse the
    markets for fish, fruit and vegetables, while shops
    display goods from cheese to wine to desserts. San
    Silvestro and Rialto Market vaporetto (water taxi)
    stops add to the steady stream of foot traffic. San
