Getting to the park

You'll reach the park after a leisurely stroll from St. Mark's Square along the Riva degli Schiavoni.

Riva degli Schiavoni : At its eastern end, the promenade remains wide, but it has significantly fewer people

Just follow the shore until you reach the Biennale Gardens; from there, it's only a few steps farther.

It's a rewarding walk, with the lagoon beside you and plenty of sights to enjoy along the way. We cover many of them in our full guide to the Riva.

Riva degli Schiavoni : full guide

If a 40-minute walk feels too far, or you'd rather avoid the stretch that's fully exposed to the sun before you reach the Biennale Gardens, you can always hop on a vaporetto and get off at the 'Sant’Elena' stop.

Vaporetto : how to use it

You could visit the park first and then make your way back toward St. Mark's Square on foot. The route is especially lovely at sunset.
