Traveler reviews
David Christenfeld
★★★★★2 months agoThis is a beautiful garden set in a lovely (less crowded) part of Venice. Beautiful greenery with nice artistic pieces and a cool turtle pond. Not a time-consuming venture but worth a walk through to get a break from the Venice throngs. Also, Caffe La Serra is a nice greenhouse cafe located within!

★★★★★2 months agoIf you have the chance to visit, it’s worth taking a tour with a guide at first before going further and exploring the rest of the Biennale. Personally loved the Spanish pavilion the most at this location, and the Indian pavilion in the Arsenale location.
