About The Giudecca: the back story

The Giudecca lies across its wide canal from Dorsoduro: Palladio’s Redentore, the Hotel Cipriani, the Hilton Molino Stucky, and the best views back to San Marco.

The Redentore

Palladio’s church of the Redentore, centre of the Festa del Redentore each July.

The views

From the Zitelle to the Molino Stucky, the city across the water.

Take the waterbus across for the view of the city.

Our advice: go for sunset drinks at the Skyline Rooftop Bar.
