How does the house numbering system work?
-
Within each of the city’s six administrative districts (sestiere ), numbers follow the alleyways along one side at a time, taking in branch streets and courtyards when encountered. In Cannaregio, the most extensive district, numbers reach 6420. The post-men are used to this confusing system, but visitors will need the name of the alley (calle ), square (campo ) or quayside (fondamenta ).
