As anyone who's been to Venice will tell you, you will never get lost there if you are heading to Piazza San Marco.  All you have to do is look for a little yellow direction sign that says Per S. Marco.  It can be found almost anywhere (you might even find two of those signs at the same spot, one pointing to the right and the other to the left).

As anyone who's been to San Marco will tell you, there's hardly enough elbow room to turn around while standing in the middle of the Piazza.  That may be only true at the height of the tourist season, but it takes a large-scale phenomenon like aqua alta (flooding caused by a high tide) to see the entire ground space sans people -- except a few daredevils like this person who water-skied from one end to the other (watch him on YouTube).
