Enjoy a misty winter walk through Venice, discovering the quiet charm of Dorsoduro 🇮🇹✨ 👉 More walking tours through Venice    • Venice, Italy Walking Tours 🇮🇹   - - - - - - - - - In this walking tour video, filmed on December 29th, 2025, we explore the Dorsoduro district of Venice, as fog drifts through canals and softens the city’s outlines. Far from the busiest routes, Dorsoduro offers a more reflective side of Venice, shaped by art, craftsmanship, and centuries of maritime history. Our walk begins at Campo Santo Stefano, a broad open campo that introduces the calm rhythm of this neighborhood. Nearby, we pass the Niccolò Tommaseo Monument, honoring the writer and intellectual who played a key role in Italian cultural history. We then walk past the Chiesa di San Vidal, admiring its façade as we continue along the quiet streets. From here, we approach the Ponte dell’Accademia, one of the few bridges crossing the Canal Grande. Pausing on the bridge, we take in the winter atmosphere as gondolas emerge from the fog below. On the Dorsoduro side, we pass the former Santa Maria della Carità and enter the Gallerie dell’Accademia, home to some of Venice’s greatest treasures. Here, I highlight masterpieces such as Bellini’s “San Giobbe Altarpiece” and Titian’s “Presentation of the Virgin”, showing the depth of Venetian Renaissance painting. Continuing deeper into the district, we arrive at the Chiesa di San Trovaso, known for its twin bell towers and its connection to the local arts guilds. Just across the canal, I point out the Squero di San Trovaso, one of the last traditional gondola boatyards still in operation, offering a glimpse into Venice’s living craftsmanship. Our route then opens onto the wide Fondamenta delle Zattere, where the fog muffles the view, creating a soft, intimate atmosphere along the waterfront. Along the way, we encounter the Chiesa di Santa Maria della Visitazione and distinctive architectural details such as the Bocca di Leone, once used for anonymous civic denunciations. We continue past the Chiesa di Santa Maria del Rosario (I Gesuati) and follow the quiet waters of the Rio de la Fornace, passing the Ex Chiesa di San Gregorio, before reaching one of Venice’s most iconic landmarks: the Basilica di Santa Maria della Salute. Here, I explain its origins as a votive church built in response to the devastating plague of the 17th century. Our walk concludes at Punta della Dogana, where the Grand Canal meets the Giudecca Canal, offering a glimpse of the water’s expanse through the fog. Nearby, we pass the Peggy Guggenheim Collection, housed in a former palazzo and renowned for its modern art, before ending in Campo San Vio and returning once more to the Ponte dell’Accademia, completing a gentle loop through Dorsoduro. This winter walking tour captures a quieter, more contemplative Venice; where fog, water, and stone blend together, and where Dorsoduro reveals the city’s artistic soul best experienced slowly, step by step. - - - - - - - - - 🕒 Timestamps 0:00:00 - Preview 0:00:49 - Campo Santo Stefano 0:02:14 - Niccolò Tommaseo Monument 0:03:28 - Chiesa di San Vidal 0:04:45 - Ponte dell’Accademia 0:06:31 - Canal Grande 0:08:02 - Santa Maria della Carità 0:10:56 - Gallerie dell’Accademia 0:16:08 - Chiesa di San Trovaso 0:21:31 - Squero di San Trovaso 0:22:52 - Fondamenta delle Zattere 0:23:58 - Chiesa di Santa Maria della Visitazione 0:25:44 - Bocca di Leone 0:26:53 - Chiesa di Santa Maria del Rosario 0:38:16 - Rio de la Fornace 0:44:07 - Ex Chiesa di San Gregorio 0:45:52 - Basilica Santa Maria della Salute 0:53:51 - Punta della Dogana 1:04:19 - Rio de la Fornace 1:07:40 - Peggy Guggenheim Collection 1:10:39 - Campo San Vio 1:14:45 - Ponte dell’Accademia - - - - - - - - - 🎥 Videos to watch next Discover the beauty of Venice:    • Venice, Italy Walking Tours 🇮🇹   Discover the beauty of Tuscany:    • Tuscany, Italy Walking Tours 🇮🇹   Discover the beauty of Rome:    • Rome, Italy Walking Tours 🇮🇹   Discover the beauty of Sicily:    • Sicily, Italy Walking Tours 🇮🇹   - - - - - - - - - 📬 Contact & Support Website: https://www.italynotes.com Email: [email protected] Subscribe for more! ‪@LetsWalkItaly‬ - - - - - - - - - 📝 Disclaimer This video, or any part of it, may not be used or reproduced without prior written permission from LetsWalkItaly or Italynotes.
