Traveler reviews
Mary Bernard Pacheco
★★★★★a year agoHad a wonderful time at the royal gardens. If you’re in San Marco Square, highly recommend taking a break from the hustle and bustle here. It’s free and if you’re lucky you’ll get a bench in the shade.
Anghelina
★★★★★5 days agoits a beautiful and quiet place, perfect for cooling down for a bit. there is also a tiny cafe with accessible prices. there are a lot of benches you can relax on and a water fountain where you can refill your bottles. the entrance is free and you’re not allowed to eat here
