Get lost in Venice?

With its thousands of small streets and maze structure of the city, Venice is an ideal place to get lost. Sometimes even maps are useless. There is a school of thought which says that getting lost is a part of the experience in Venice.
Keep in mind that Venice is completely surrounded by the lagoon and it is not possible to leave Venice on foot. No matter of the way you choose you will come upon a piazza which can be located on the map.
One of the best ways to avoid to get lost in Venice is to note the house numbers. If there is a small change between the numbers on the buildings which are located on the different sides of the bridges, it means that you are on the same island or district. There are also many directional signs with an arrow pointing in the relevant direction – ie. Per Rialto or Per S. Marco.
