Dorsoduro is known as the hipper “sestier”, less crowded, but still packed with history and culture, with beautiful churches on every square, alongside great bacari – wine bars - and restaurants. The Campo Santa Margherita is the social hub of the area and the centre of Venice’s nightlife is just 2 minutes away. Nearby, Zattere with its view of the Guidecca canal and waterside dining offers another wonderful spot to watch the world go by over a drink or meal and you can catch a ferry to Croatia from the Stazione Maritima. Dorsoduro is also home to the famous Peggy Guggenheim museum.
Whilst Dorsoduro offers more of the "real Venice", all the main tourist attractions such as San Marco, Doges Palace and Rialto are within easy walking distance, giving you the best of both worlds.
