description: "Venice is well-established as one of the world’s must-see cities, with its fascinating history, charming lack of roads and luxurious gondolas.

# 5 Great yet Affordable Hotels in Venice, Italy

> Venice is a world-famous canal city with a rich history and no roads, but it carries a reputation for high prices; this article identifies five affordable yet pleasant hotels across the city's key neighbourhoods.

## What to see
- **St Mark's Square** — Central landmark near several of the listed hotels, featuring a famous clockwork Moors display.
- **Giudecca Canal walkway** — Scenic promenade in Dorsoduro lined with elegant terraces and restaurants.
- **Rialto Bridge** — Iconic Venice landmark within walking distance of Locanda la Corte.

## What to do
- **Open-air markets in San Polo** — The relaxed San Polo neighbourhood offers open-air markets and quaint cafes.
- **Gondola watching** — Locanda la Corte offers a view of gondolas on a small canal from the hotel.

## Good to know
Book affordable accommodation well in advance as it fills quickly even in the off-season. Prices at budget hotels can roughly double during high tourist season.
