Neighbourhoods at a Glance
So many world-class attractions are packed into San Marco, some visitors never leave -
and others are loath to visit, fearing crowds. But why deny yourself the pleasures of La
Fenice, Basilica di San Marco, Palazzo Ducale and Museo Correr? Judge for yourself
whether they earn their reputations - but don't stop there. The backstreets are packed with
galleries, boutiques and
enoteche
(wine bars).
Dorsoduro covers prime Grand Canal waterfront with Ca' Rezzonico's gilded splendour,
Peggy Guggenheim Collection's modern edge, Gallerie dell'Accademia's Renaissance
beauty and Punta della Dogana's contemporary installation art. The neighbourhood lazes its
days away on the Zattere, and convenes in Campo Santa Margherita for cocktails.
