Timed walking routes and the quieter half of the city

Based in Dorsoduro, Venice.

Kim moved from Bergen to Dorsoduro in 2019 and writes about the city off the San Marco–Rialto axis: the Giudecca boatyards, the Querini Stampalia garden, the 4.1 circular out past San Michele to Murano. They walk every itinerary with a stopwatch, which is why their routes account for bridge steps, ticket queues and where the acqua alta passerelle go up.
