Question 1

What other neighbourhoods are similar to Santa Croce?

Accepted Answer

While Santa Croce offers a distinctive Venetian experience, other neighborhoods that share some of its characteristics, particularly its quieter residential feel and local charm, include Cannaregio and Castello.

Cannaregio, especially the northern part away from the train station, provides a similar residential atmosphere to Santa Croce. It's known for its authentic Venetian life, with local shops and bacari (small bars serving cicchetti). The Jewish Ghetto, a historic and significant area, is located here. This neighborhood is a great fit for travelers looking for a more relaxed stay, away from the main tourist crowds, while still being well-connected to other parts of Venice by vaporetto.

Castello, particularly the eastern sector beyond the San Zaccaria vaporetto stop, is another excellent option for those seeking a tranquil and more local experience.
