Venice/Dorsoduro

Dorsoduro is one of six sestieri (districts) that make up historic Venice.

Get in
As usual in Venice, walking is the best choice for getting anywhere. The Ponte dell'Accademia bridge links Dorsoduro with the main tourist quarters in San Marco.

By vaporetto
The often-crowded Line 1 has three stops in Dorsoduro. Additionally, there's a limited service directly from the airport. The Giudecca island can be reached only by vaporetto lines 2, 4.1, 4.2, 8 and N.

By ferry
Most ferries arrive at the main terminal in Santa Croce. One exception to this are ferries operated by Venezia Lines, which has daily departures from ports in Croatia and arrives at the San Basilio Ferry Terminal right here in Dorsoduro.



Get around
To get around you might need a vaporetto, because the Giudecca Canal separates the two main parts of the Dorsoduro sestiere.

Museums




Drink
There's a number of bars clustered around Campo Santa Margherita mostly frequented by younger locals.
