Ca' Foscari ha sede nella maestosa città di Venezia. Con canali e barche invece di strade e automobili, il centro storico di questa città davvero singolare è stato un luogo vivace di scambio culturale ed economico per oltre un millennio, e la bellezza della sua arte e architettura l'ha resa un sito patrimonio mondiale dell'UNESCO. Grazie alla stimolante eredità culturale del suo dinamico contesto cosmopolita, Ca' Foscari si caratterizza per l'incrocio sinergico tra tradizione e innovazione intellettuale, e offre ai suoi studenti e professori l'opportunità unica di imparare e lavorare in una delle città più straordinarie del mondo.
Venezia è una città nel nord-est Italia e la capitale della regione del Veneto. Si trova su un arcipelago situato in una laguna poco profonda che comprende oltre 100 isole collegate da ponti. Poiché i canali sostituiscono le strade, la gente si muove in città a piedi e in barca. Venezia è infatti la più grande città moderna senza auto d'Europa.
La città è caratterizzata da una ricchezza di splendida architettura storica e arte perché la storica Repubblica di Venezia era un fiorente porto commerciale e grande potenza marittima durante il Medioevo e il Rinascimento, così alcuni dei siti della città sono inclusi nella lista del patrimonio mondiale dell'UNESCO.
Oltre al suo passato colorato, tuttavia, Venezia ha un presente altrettanto vivace, perché continua ad essere un centro di arte e cultura contemporanea.
Vivere nel centro storico di Venezia significa vivere uno stile di vita attento all'ambiente. Per la necessità di camminare nella maggior parte dei luoghi, gli spazi pubblici della città diventano centri sociali. Infatti, uno dei momenti più attesi della giornata di uno studente veneziano è il cosiddetto aperitivo in campo: dal pomeriggio fino a tarda sera, aree come Campo Santa Margherita e l'Erbarìa di Rialto diventano luoghi in cui la gente si riunisce per chiacchierare e ascoltare musica mentre bevono spritz e mangiano cicchetti - il tradizionale aperitivo per cui Venezia è famosa.
