Castello stretches east from San Marco: the Riva degli Schiavoni and its hotels, the Arsenale, Via Garibaldi, the Biennale gardens and Sant’Elena.
The Riva
The Danieli, the Metropole and the Londra Palace face the lagoon.

The old shipyards, now a Biennale venue, and the gardens beyond.
Walk the Riva in the morning light.
Our advice: come for the Biennale, and stay for the quiet streets behind Via Garibaldi.
