Parks and the outdoors in Venice

  1. SeeCastello

    ASAC Library

  2. DrinkSan Marco

    Devils Forest Pub

    A traditional English style pub with a very fun atmosphere. It is located near the Rialto Bridge and tucked into a small alley near the Disney Store.

  3. DoDorsoduro

    Northern Giudecca canal walk

    It's a long and sunny walk along the Giudecca canal, protected during winter time from cold northerly winds for being exposed to south and shielded by buildings. You might find interesting to see how a gondola is made, stopping by the Squero (Venetian for small ship yard) across a canal near San Trovaso Church. It's one of the few still in business in town. With some luck, you'll see some gondole through various manufacturing steps (gondole are not straight to counterbalance the gondoliere push).

  4. DoDorsoduro

    Southern Giudecca canal walk

    Like the northern version you walk along the entire Giudecca canal, but in this case on the Giudecca island.

  5. SeeDorsoduro

    Napoleonic Gardens

    Biennale Gardens, Giardini della Biennale

    They are the largest green area in the historic center and are home to the Venice International Art Exhibition. The gardens contain lush vegetation, among which the various twentieth-century architectures of the pavilions are organised, mostly around a central avenue from which smaller paths branch off, characteristic for their shape and each one bearing the name of the nation hosted.
