Most of the tourists gets the first impression of Venice as a place without grass and trees. It is not really like that. There are several very nice parks in Venice. Parco Savorgnan di Brazza, in the Cannareggio area is kind of a secret garden, hidden between Palazzo Venier, Palazzo Savorgnan and Palazzo Zeno. Part of the park once belonged to Palazzo Savorgnan, now a school. Although park has children playground it is still calm and peaceful place. Park can be entered from Fondamenta Savorgnan and from Campo San Geremia, opposite of the church of the same name. Leave a Comment

 Giardino Papadopoli by Zvrlj Most of the tourists gets the first impression of Venice as a place without grass and trees. It is not really like that. There are several very nice parks in Venice. Giardino Papadopoli is nice and calm park close to Piazzale Roma and the car parks. Park was built on the site of a demolished convent, the property Corfu-born entrepreneurs, and that is why it has the Greek name. Extravagant parties for the nobility held among exotic flowers and rare animals had been taking place in it during 19th century. The park was reduced in size when the Rio Novo canal was excavated in 1933. Giardino Papadopoli has children playground. Leave a Comment

Most of the tourists gets the first impression of Venice as a place without grass and trees. It is not really like that. There are several very nice parks in Venice. Giardini ex Reali – Royal Gardens is probably the best known because it is near Piazza San Marco, behind Procuratie Nuove and Libreria Marciana – National Marciana Library, and just by vaporetto station and info point. Knowing all that, it is very strange that park is almost tourist-free. Although not so calm and peaceful as some other parks iv Venice, Giardini ex Reali is very good place to hide from San Marco crowd. Leave a Comment

 the firehouse---all quiet by Rhondaj The only traffic (stop your boat) light on the Venetian canals can be seen on Rio di Ca Foscari. If riding on the grand canal you can look down this side canal and see the light. It lies between the San Toma vaporetto top and San Samuele. From San Toma towards San Samuele, it would be your first side canal to the right. If in the Dursodoro neighborhood you can cross over the ponte Foscari for a good view of the boat bays. This bridge lies in the area between Campo S. Margherita and the grand canal. Leave a Comment

by eitakorlando Everyone has seen countless photos of Piazza San Marco, but actually standing in the middle of the square is inspiring. Expensive cafes and boutiques line the colonnade. Vendors selling birdseed to tourists anxious to feed the thousands of birds are out in force. The queue line to enter St. Mark's is daunting. I consider that I only came to Venice to buy beautiful Murano glass and have a few beers. I forgo cultural activities in favor of shopping for pretty postcards, losing myself in the alleys (and getting some fantastic pictures), buying Murano glass picture frames and drinking a warm beer with a nice salad in a non-touristy café.

by vysnaite Not of the beathen path but next to St.Mark square- Doge's Palace loved the place , too much to tell about it! amazing sight.Other things to see: Bridge of sighs (called so because it leaded to prisons and prisoners had to cross it), Rialto bridge (here in photos), Basilica of the Salute- and all the Venice, take your time there!

by zys1 The Doge's Palace housed Venice's rulers for more than six centuries. It connects to the adjacent Prigioni Nuove ('New Prisons') via the Bridge of Sighs.

by Pierre_Rouss It's not really far or off the beaten path, it's really inside Venice itself!!! Why I say it's off the beaten path is because I didn't know or remembered what this building was. I know now that it's the innercourt of Doge's palace. Venice is a beautiful maze, you would miss a lot if you stayed on the beaten path and limit yourself to the touristic places. Follow the little alleys, turn right or left and get lost. Take your time finding your way again and enjoy looking around. Leave a Comment
