Walking directions to Ca' Dogaressa (with map)

From: Venice Hotel Directions

The Ca' Dogaressa is technically a "Town House Suites 1st Category" establishment, which is comparable to a three-star hotel.

The location is easy to reach from the Alilaguna Orange Line airport boat stop at Guglie or the railroad station, and the oldest Jewish ghetto in Europe is just around the corner.

How to reach the Ca' Dogaressa from the Guglie stop of the Alilaguna airport boat (Alilaguna Linea Arancio):

1. As you leave the boat platform, turn left.

2. Walk along the Canareggio Canal for about 150 meters (0.1 mile).

3. Ca' Dogaressa will be on your right, facing the canal.

6. Immediately turn left at the foot of the bridge and walk along the canal, past Gam Gam restaurant and the ACTV waterbus stop, until you reach Ca' Dogaressa.
