Reflections on a city's secret charm

Article Abstract:

Visitors to Venice, Italy, can easily become overwhelmed by the city's splendours. It is worth trying to move away from the most popular tourist attractions, thus seeing something of the real Venice. It is particularly worth discovering Dorsoduro, the area of the city on the south side of the Grand Canal, across the Accademia Bridge. Here, there are quiet back streets and beautiful views. It is also worth visiting the island of Burano, where the restaurants offer better value than those of central Venice.
