Recommendation
The political and social heart of Venice for over a thousand years. It hosts the most famous sights: the Basilica, the Doge's Palace, and Harry's Bar. Staying here is prestigious and central, but it comes with the highest price tag and the thickest crowds.
Venice's 'university district' and art hub. It feels younger, breezier, and more bohemian than San Marco. Home to the Peggy Guggenheim Collection and the Accademia, it offers sunny promenades (Zattere) and lively squares (Campo Santa Margherita) filled with students.
The largest and most populated district, Cannaregio offers a slice of 'real' Venice. It stretches from the station to the Rialto. It houses the historic Jewish Ghetto and lively canal-side fondamente (walkways) lined with bars and restaurants where locals actually eat.
The smallest district but one of the busiest, centered around the Rialto Bridge and market. It is ancient, dense, and confusingly winding. It’s perfect for foodies wanting to explore the 'bacaro' (wine bar) culture near the market.
