Giardini (Public Gardens)
MapThese are the most extensive public gardens in Venice: bounded by the Riva dei 7 Martiri, Viale Trieste and Via Garibaldi, in the district of Castello. Half of the gardens now host the pavilions of the Art Biennale. Created during Napoleon's domination of the city (1808-1812), they were designed by Giannantonio Selva - who also designed the entrance gate. To build the gardens, a complex of religious buildings were demolished. The Gardens are divided in two by the Rio San Giuseppe and connected together by a bridge, the larger part which is now used by the Biennale, was developed as an Italian-style garden and was later transformed into English-style gardens in the second half of the 19th century. The smaller part is always open to the public and has a small children's play area, benches, flower beds and a beautiful avenue of trees.

Great area out of the tourist area. If you looking for a place to run it is a good choice.

Lovely children's play parks. One for the little ones, and one for older kids.

Realizzati a inizio '800 da Napoleone, sorgono verso il margine orientale di Venezia. Dal 1895 sono sede della Biennale d'Arte. Ospitano 29 padiglioni di paesi stranieri, oltre al Padiglione Centrale. Translate

Уголок зеленого рая в Венеции: парки, полноценные улицы и отличная набережная. Идеальное место для пикника или уединения. Translate

Perfektný park plný lavičiek, ktorý ma dokonca určené miesto aj na piknik! Odporúčam kúpiť si jedlo v najbližšom Coope a spraviť si jeden tu :) Translate
