Dorsoduro

Venice has six districts, known as “sestieri”. The district of Dorsoduro is often referred to as the “Miglio dei Musei”, the Museum Mile. This elegant part of the city, rich in art galleries and artisan shops and boutiques, hosts some of the most important museums in Venice: the Gallerie dell’Accademia, the Guggenheim Museum, the Cini Gallery, and Punta della Dogana.
The Fondamenta delle Zattere, overlooking the Giudecca canal and island, is a perfect promenade to take a stroll and experience some of the most beautiful sunsets, enjoying an aperitif on the water or a dinner in one of the many restaurants in the area.
