Pangea Guides

On the eastern edge of Venice, away from central tourist areas lies a stunning park along the Riva degli Schiavoni with palm trees, acacias and plane trees, and numerous statues and viewpoints over the lagoon - the Public Gardens. The gardens also has good facilities for children, with play areas including swings and slides. The lush green of the park is well complemented by the canals and stone buildings, making it an antidote to the crowded city life. In the summer, the gardens feature a rich and diverse cultural programme, highlighting international festival of modern art.
