The San Marco district is situated in central Venice. Who hasn't heard of Piazza San Marco, "The drawing room of Europe"? It's the only square in Venice to merit the name Piazza, all the others are called Campi. In the words of Wikipedia "As the central landmark and gathering place for Venice, Piazza San Marco is quite popular with tourists, photographers, and pigeons." Given Venice's relatively small size, you can enjoy San Marco without staying there.
