Also known as the Biennale Gardens, this peaceful park is the beating heart of the Venice Biennale, the world’s leading showcase of contemporary art and architecture. Created during the Napoleonic era and expanded for the first Biennale in 1895, these gardens are now home to 30 permanent national pavilions—each a cultural outpost that transforms every two years during the Biennale exhibitions. A walk through the park is like stepping into an open-air museum: bold sculptures, architectural curiosities, and creative surprises await around every path. Even outside Biennale season, the Giardini remain a peaceful escape from Venice’s crowds. Locals walk their dogs under shady pines, artists sketch quietly, and travelers linger along the waterfront. You’ll find a unique balance here—tranquility meets inspiration, with the soft rustle of leaves accompanying your thoughts. Whether you're here during the buzz of an art opening or in the quiet in-between, Biennale Gardens offer something timeless: the joy of wandering through culture, nature, and imagination—all under the Venetian sky.
