Venice Secret Gardens

From 500,00 

Venice Secret Gardens are more than five hundred, hidden behind the façades of beautiful palaces or surrounded by high walls. Yet this natural heritage of the city is almost completely unknown to most visitors, and even to a certain number of locals. A very different way to see Venice.

Description

Discover some of the five hundreds Venice Secret Gardens with Venice Guide and Boat!

Venice Secret Gardens come as a surprise! If you walk through the narrow alleys of Venice, in fact, it seems like it is a very densely built-up urban centre. While exploring some of the hidden gardens of Venice, you’ll learn how  Venetians  created beautiful gardens in such a peculiar environment.

First of all, you’ll visit the garden of an old Renaissance aristocratic palace. Palazzo Contarini dal Zaffo is located away from the touristy areas, in a peaceful corner of Venice. The garden was once the enclosed retreat of “excellent spirits”,  like the famous painter Titian and  the poet Pietro Aretino.

Venice Secret Gardens tour will take you then to see a suggestive Romantic garden. Created by a man of great culture, and expert of botanical sciences, it was recently restored according to the original project. After the visit to the garden you will enjoy a coffee or a drink with fresh pastry.

Another garden included in the tour is today a peaceful park, located in the most western part of Venice. Here  many old stones remain hidden from the view,  due to a number of different species of trees.

This tour can be customized upon request, to include different gardens. Please contact us for the different options available.

Venice Solo Travel: Why Going Alone Is the Best Way to Experience One of the World’s Greatest Cities

Venice and solo travel are made for each other. This is not the conventional wisdom — the conventional wisdom says Venice is a city for couples, for romantic weekends, for the honeymoon gondola ride at sunset. And Venice is absolutely all of those things. But it is also, and perhaps more profoundly, a city for […]

Venice with Limited Mobility: A Complete, Honest Guide to Accessible Travel in One of the World’s Most Extraordinary Cities

The first thing to say about Venice and accessibility is this: Venice is significantly more accessible than most visitors with limited mobility expect, and significantly less accessible than an ideal city would be. Both of these facts are important, and this guide addresses both honestly.

Venice with Kids: The Complete Family Guide to One of the World’s Most Extraordinary Cities

The most common concern parents have about bringing children to Venice is that the city will not be child-friendly.
