The romantic city of Venice contains a concentration of attractions and treasures not seen in many parts of the world. However, contrary to the image we have of this impressive city, there is much more to see than its recognizable canals, gondolas and bridges. There is also much more to do in this city than attending its famous carnival.
Like most of the Italian territory, Venice also hosts a lot of artistic treasures. The place where you will find some of the most important ones is at the Gallery of the Academy (in Italian, Gallerie dell'Accademia). This institution, once an art school for the most important Italian masters, is located on the south bank of the Grand Canal in Venice.
The Academy was founded in the mid-eighteenth century. The first works were made by people who participated in the institution. More works were arriving from different places, enriching the collection until becoming one of the most important ones in Italy and Europe.
Among the great Venetian masters that can be seen in the Academy Gallery are some like Leonardo da Vinci, Tintoretto, Titian, Andrea Mantegna, Canaletto, Giovanni Bellini, Sebastiano del Piombo, Vittore Carpaccio, Giorgione and Paolo Veronese.
Venice is a very special city, with its islands, canals, vaporettos and gondolas. However, the tens of millions of tourists it receives every year make it a somewhat chaotic place at times. In its narrow buildings you can find countless hotels, pensions, hostels and bed & breakfast. Some of them are quite luxurious, but you may find simpler ones. Prices are usually quite high, due to the high demand throughout the year.
However, there is an ideal option for those who want a bit of peace and privacy after being rubbing shoulders with tourists throughout the day. That's right, we suggest you rent an apartment. Imagine having your own key to a quaint apartment just for you and the ones who travel with you, where you can rest without interruption, move around at your own pace, with no reception hours, without shared spaces, and with your own kitchen to test your culinary skills when preparing a rich pasta. Imagine taking a wine by the window with a breathtaking view of the canals below. All that is possible if you rent an apartment. And where would be better than the area of the Academy Gallery! There are a lot of tourist attractions in this area, which we will detail in the next section.

The Accademia Gallery is located in a privileged central location in Venice. Thanks to this, you can access many of the major tourist attractions in the city from this area. Here we have a short list:
The Accademia Gallery is located in Campo della Carità, in the Sestiere of Dorsoduro, next to the Accademia Bridge (Ponte dell'Accademia). It can be reached on foot from Piazzale Roma (where you will arrive if you take a bus from the airport) or from the Central Train Station in about 20 minutes. It can also be reached using one of the popular "vaporettos" (lines 1, 2, 5.2 and 6).
