Where to stay in a cheap hotel in the Dorsoduro district of Venice?
Venice is one of the most fascinating cities in the world, but choosing where to stay can be tricky. If you’re looking for an authentic, quiet, and culturally rich area, the Dorsoduro district is a perfect choice. And if you want a convenient location without overspending, a budget hotel in Dorsoduro like Hotel Tivoli might be exactly what you need.
Why choose the Dorsoduro district?
Dorsoduro is one of Venice’s six districts (sestieri) and is loved by both locals and travelers looking for a more genuine experience. It lies along the Giudecca Canal and the Grand Canal, and although it’s central, it’s not overwhelmed by tourist crowds. The atmosphere is relaxed, and the streets and canals still feel very local and lived in.
Some of its highlights include:
- A wealth of museums and churches such as the Gallerie dell’Accademia, Church of the Carmini, Basilica dei Frari, and Scuola Grande di San Rocco
- A vibrant nightlife scene centered around Campo Santa Margherita, the heart of the district and a favorite spot for students and residents
- Walking distance to Piazzale Roma and Santa Lucia train station, which makes arrivals and departures simple
Dorsoduro is ideal for anyone wanting to explore Venice on foot, starting each day from a neighborhood that’s both central and authentic.
