Dorsoduro

Bordered to the north by the Grand Canal and to the south by the Giudecca Canal, Dorsoduro is a historic sestriere in Venice. This area is known for its rich cultural heritage, featuring a cluster of art-filled churches, bridges, and palazzi. The island of Giudecca also falls within its boundaries. Dorsoduro’s atmosphere is vibrant and youthful, thanks to the students from Ca’Foscari University and the influx of visitors drawn to its cultural attractions. Among its highlights are the Gallerie dell’Accademia and the Peggy Guggenheim Museum, both offering a deep dive into the world of art.
