Walking Tour of Dorsoduro

Description

Starting at the Punta della Dogana and ranging all the way through the University area, the district of Dorsoduro is one of the richest “sestieri” in terms of art and architecture in Venice. During our virtual walk, we will see the Church of the Salute, and the Gesuati dome, dedicated to St Mary of the Rosary, and view the Palladian church of Redentore across the canal on the island of Giudecca. We will pass by the oldest gondolayard still active after 400 years as well as the typical “bacaros” of Venice with their well-known “cicchetti” to end on top of the Accademia bridge for a final view of the Grand Canal
