- phat_dawg_21Alpharetta, GA17,360 contributionsIt surrounds the islands that form Venice. It provided protection in the past, and still provides much of the seafood consumed in the city.
We had a close up view when we left the airport. The traffic was heavy heading into the city.
That evening, we had a more peaceful view from a restaurant.Written July 23, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Maps are apparently available to help you locate the resting places of well known people, although we couldn’t find anywhere to get one.There are, however, various signs indicating the numbers and location of particular graves. We particularly wanted to see the grave of Diaghilev decorated with a pile of pink ballet shoes left by ballet fans, as well as the Stravinsky graves, which we found easily near the back wall of the cemetery. Unfortunately the church was locked when we visited. Interesting just to wander around the different areas- war graves, Nuns graves and a children’s area. Nowhere to buy food or drink - there might have been a vending machine, but I’m not sure. Certainly worth visiting if you have already seen all the other sights.Written October 6, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- CityScrollsVenice, Italy98 contributionsTake a stroll along the glittering water on this wide, spacious promenade. For a quieter experience, I highly recommend going further away from the bustling Piazza San Marco towards Giardini della Biennale, where you can soak in the sunset and enjoy a more serene setting.
Historically, this waterfront has been a vibrant hub since as early as the 9th century, originally serving as part of the port of San Marco. It's fascinating to think that for centuries, vessels from the Mediterranean and beyond have docked here. It must've been a vibrant scene where traders and sailors from various parts of the world engaged in lively exchanges in a multitude of languages.
In fact, the name 'schiavoni' refers to Slavic merchants who transported cargo to Venice from across the Adriatic Sea.
Don't miss out on another charming waterfront walk at Zattere, which may be less famous but is equally delightful.Written November 6, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

During the Biennale, art lovers will find themselves here anyway. These relaxed gardens provide a peaceful vantage point over the city and lagoon, far from the crowds and the narrow, claustrophobic streets. Keep in mind that most of the space is closed outside of the Biennale (and requires a valid ticket during the event). However, the strip along the lagoon is open to the public year-round, with shaded areas and benches perfect for resting your feet.Written November 18, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Ducatisti69Boston, UK253 contributionsSmall island donated to order of monks now with 5 friars that care for the church and island. Beautiful small church, clusters and gardens. If you book is possible to stay as a guest of the monks for meditation and prayer.
Interesting stop for a short trip if moving around the Venice lagoon.Written May 2, 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We got off at top and followed the jasmine scented and purple artichoke lined road. We turned off at the church and continued on the east side heading south then took a path inland along a waterway.
It was all magnificently pleasant
And no-one else around other than some locals puttering along on motorbikes or two-stroke minivans or pushbike. Quite a bit of industry in gardens and fields.
Such a truly authentic place.Written June 8, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Here you can sit in silence ( kind of) and without pressure.Written February 16, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- CityScrollsVenice, Italy98 contributionsIt's a tranquil park with plenty of shade under its pine trees and a playground. Benches facing the water offer a perfect spot to unwind and enjoy stunning views of the city from afar and spectacular sunsets. All in all, it's a great chance to escape the city's narrow streets and crowds and experience a more authentic side of Venice.Written November 18, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Matvl5,714 contributionsIn a city with very few green spaces all should be appreciated. This is a nice park, surprisingly quiet and well maintained. If you need a corner for time out this is a good spot.Written February 16, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- SoCalOregonianMurrieta, CA10,371 contributionsLocated adjacent to Campo San Geremia, this large park provides a nice respite from the crowds along the main drag. There are a couple of entrances but once inside, there are benches in which to rest and specific areas for dogs to play and even a large playground for children.Written May 26, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- on_the_go_98765Tucson20,551 contributionsThe European Cultural Center hosts a different once-every-two-years contemporary art exhibit and this one will run from April 23 to November 27, 2022. This is the 6th biennial presentation and it is titled: "Personal Structures - Reflections." The artists (of which there were 200 who submitted requests) come from all around the world.
The meaning of "reflection" considers both the image and the thought behind the image; therefore it is both mental and visible. The goal for the artists was two-fold: the art should reflect awareness for what is to come an well as mirror the current environment. This is a pretty vague parameter (IMHO) but then, I am not an artist.
"Contemporary" is the operative word' and these figures really border the abstract. The garden that hosts this exhibit is a delightful place to come and sit on a bench and enjoy the day.Written October 11, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Warehouse with original company logos to identify locations and track duration if quarantines. Newly uncovered ruins from Bronze Age.
