San Polo and Santa Croce
Although attractions like the Frari, with two paintings by Titian, and the Scuola di San Rocco, lavishly decorated by Tintoretto, draw big crowds, the surrounding areas don't have the touristy feel or souvenir shops reserved for the main drag leading to the Rialto Bridge. A visit to the Rialto market, with its produce stalls and large pescheria (fish market), is an essential part of any visit to Venice. A few steps away are worthwhile sites: have a look at Palazzo Mocenigo, a Venetian noble apartment dating from the 18th century, the Renaissance Scuola Grande di San Giovanni Evangelista, and the San Giacomo dell'Orio.
