A breath of fresh air after the crowds of tourists in the San Marco district, this is the real Venice, a place where Venetians still live it's the district, "Sestiere" di Dorsoduro.
It is also a part of Venice that has one of the most magnificent buildings in the whole city.
Parts of the Dorsoduro - such as L’Accademie and Zattere are considered amongst the most exclusive parts of Venice by modern day Venetians and contain some beautiful villas owned by rich Venetians and international celebrities.
There are a fair number of significant buildings and churches around here, like Ca' Rezzonico, Chiesa di Santa Maria della Salute, Venice's Guggenheim Museum. To really get the feel of the district I suggest you Campo Santa Margherita, a buzzing 9th century piazza and one of the biggest in Venice, full of life and color. - During the morning the market is filled with the smells and sounds of the fish and fresh produce markets and in the evening the piazza gives itself over to Venetian families and the young students and artists who live in this part of Venice.
