About this activity

Discover Venice's hidden horticultural heart on a 2-hour guided walk through over 500 gardens scattered across the lagoon city. This intimate tour reveals tranquil courtyards, historic monastery grounds, and public parks that locals cherish—a serene counterpoint to Venice's famous canal-and-bridge landscape.

People often refer to Venice as the city of canals and bridges. You will be surprised: the more than 500 gardens largely exceed the 403 bridges in the city!
Follow a delightful and off the beaten path route through the most magical gardens of Venice: take a walk around public parks, inner courtyards with greenery and idyllic monastery gardens. Relax within these places of silence, smell the scent of trees and flowers and feast your eyes on the colorful blossoms.
