Venice Parks and Gardens

Venice’s green spaces range from the historic Royal Gardens near St. Mark’s Square to the Napoleon-era Giardini della Biennale, a major international art venue. On the islands, visitors can explore the secluded monastic grounds of San Lazzaro and the pine-shaded paths of Sant’Elena. The mainland districts of Mestre and Marghera offer vast urban retreats like Parco San Giuliano, which overlooks the lagoon, and reclaimed military sites like Forte Bazzera, providing a contrast to the city's dense stone architecture.
