How to get there
The area is quite and very easy to reach, because it is a few minutes on walk far from the vaporetto stop called “Giardini-Biennale”, no bridge to cross to get to.
Close by there is the street “Via Garibaldi” full of well-stocked shops, supermarket, bars, restaurants.
From Railway Station and Piazzale Roma (car terminal Parking) the apartment is 30-35 minutes far by waterbus public service lines!
The public water-bus stop (“Giardini-Biennale”) is one of the main ones: the most important lines stop there and assure any link in Venice and for the others islands (Murano, Burano, etc).

Getting around
The Grand Canal snakes through the city creating 6 districts (San Marco, S. Polo, Castello, S. Croce, Dorsoduro and Cannaregio), and the splendid facades of the palaces that crown its banks testify to the city’s history of immense wealth. Although their external decorations vary, the palaces share the same basic structure: the most decorated floors, the grand floor, housed luxurious salons used to entertain visitors; on the ground floor were stored the goods of the rich merchant families, and the upper floor housed the family during the winter. They were built with impermeable stone supported by timber pile that do not rot in the water lagged subsoil because there is no free oxygen that causes decay.
