The Cristallo Hotel is not far from the ferry station of Venice Lido, from which visitors can easily and quickly reach many interesting sites in the lagoon of Venice. For example, the historic centre of Venice and Saint Mark's Square are only 15 minutes away from the hotel, as well as Venice's 'calli' (the tiny pedestrian streets), and all its monuments and museums such as the Doge's Palace, Saint Mark's Basilica, Rialto Bridge, Museo Correr (the civic museum of Venice), the Ca' Rezzonico (a museum dedicated to 18th century Venice), the Academia Bridge and Gallery, Palazzo Grassi with its temporary exhibitions, the Francois Pinault Foundation, and Chorus, the circuit including the most beautiful churches in Venice.
Moreover, the island of Murano, which is famous all over the world for its artistic glass and glass manufacturing, the island of Burano, celebrated for its lace and colourful houses, and the island of Torcello, well-known for being the first inhabited settlement in the lagoon and for its ancient Venetian-Byzantine cathedral dedicated to Santa Maria Assunta (639 ad), can all be easily reached from the Venice Lido.
The whole city of Venice can be visited catching ferry number 1 from the ferry station near the Hotel. The ferry will take you through the city, down the Grand Canal, and will let you enjoy the view of the beautiful palaces overlooking the canal.
Visitors can also leave from the Cristallo Hotel, catch bus number 11, which goes down the island of Lido, and then catch the ferry to the wonderful island of Pellestrina. Here visitors can see the ancient fishermen's village, the ideal place to taste great fish dishes in one of the few restaurants. Visitors can also leave Pellestrina by ferry to reach Chioggia.
