Giardini della Biennale

Calle Giazzo, Venezia, Veneto

Description

The Giardini della Biennale is a parkland near the eastern end of the Castello district which is one of the main venues of the Venice Biennale Art Festival. The gardens contain 30 permanent national pavilions that exhibit artworks by its national artists during the event. Together with the Parco delle Rimembrance, the Gardens are freely accessible by the public, but an entrance ticket is necessary to visit the pavilions.

Access & Transport

Vaporetto stop "Giardini Biennale" (1, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, N) is next to the park. It is a 20mins (1.6km) walk to Piazza San Marco

Instructions & Recommendations

We suggest walking one way, stopping to see the Venetian Arsenal and taking the vaporetto on the way back or head to Lido Island from there on line 1, 5, 6, 8, 10 or N.

Meta review

Reviewers enjoy the park/gardens as a good place to get away from the bustle and tourist crowds and note that most of the visitors there are residents rather than tourists. It seems to be one of the better places in the city to walk a dog.

Environmental & Social

Green activity. Positive for the community as green spaces make for a better living environment

Conclusion

The Giardini della Biennale isn't really a sight per se but more a retreat from the crowds of the city centre, with a dash of culture in the form of the various pavilions and sculptures.

Key positive

One of Venice's rare green spaces

Key negative

A little out of the way but with a vaporetto stop
