San Marco
The sestiere of San Marco is the hub of the city, being the location of the two prime monuments – the Palazzo Ducale and the Basilica di San Marco – and the city’s highest concentration of shops and hotels.

Dorsoduro
Lying on the opposite side of the Canal Grande from San Marco, and stretching westward to the docks, Dorsoduro is one of the city’s smartest quarters, as well as the home of its university and the main art gallery.

Castello
Spreading north and east of San Marco, the sprawling sestiere of Castello encompasses many of Venice’s most interesting churches, its former industrial centre, and some of its grittier residential areas.

Northern islands
The nearest of the northern islands of the lagoon – San Michele – is the city’s historic cemetery; a little farther out lies the glassmaking island of Murano, while in the outermost reaches you’ll find Burano and Torcello, Venice’s predecessor.

Southern islands
Sheltered from the Adriatic by the Lido and its neighbouring sandbanks, the southern part of the lagoon has a scattering of islands, notably San Giorgio Maggiore and La Giudecca, the focus of some major redevelopment projects.

San Polo and Santa Croce
Adjoining Dorsoduro to the north, the sestieri of San Polo and Santa Croce are riddled with intricate alleyways and characterful little squares – and it’s here that you’ll find the famous Rialto market.

Cannaregio
The train station occupies a corner of Cannaregio, and most of the city’s one-star hotels are clustered nearby, but much of this district is tranquil and unaffected by the influx of tourists.
