Even on a tight schedule, Dorsoduro earns the hours.

Home to the Accademia, the Guggenheim and Ca' Rezzonico, plus the sunny Zattere waterfront and the buzzy Campo Santa Margherita where students drink spritz till late — Dorsoduro is the most liveable, balanced base in Venice. The catch: 'is it worth it' here is really 'is it worth basing yourself here', and the campo's nightlife can get rowdy for anyone wanting silence.
