Top 5 Nature & Parks in Cannaregio, Veneto

December 12, 2021 Cedrick Jardin

With its gondolas, canals, amazing restaurants, and unforgettable romantic ambiance, Venice is definitely a city for one's bucket list. Waterfront palazzos, palaces, and churches make drifting down the Grand Canal feel like cruising through a painting. To really experience Venice you must go to the opera or to a classical music performance, nibble fresh pasta and pastries, and linger in the exhibit halls of an art gallery. Label lovers will drool over the high-end shopping in Piazza San Marco.

Giardino Mistico dei Carmelitani Scalzi

Reviewed By Zippingale - Starcross, United Kingdom

Venice has very limited room for gardens - and all the more striking is this one: Giardino mistico dei Carmelitani Scalzi. Practically next to to the railway station (to your left when you leave VSL) it is a garden focussed on produce such as wines, vegetables and herbs (you can also buy some if in season and they are available in the giftshop that has normal opening hours). The layout and the planting are inspired by the Carmelite thinking and understanding of life. As such, the visit is also to be seen as a spiritual experience in reference to the life of Teresa of Avila - not mere sightseeing. Nonetheless, the garden's position and history is an eye-opening entry into Venice too and for that alone worth a visit. A visit combines the garden with a tour through the Church of St Mary of Nazareth. It is by appointment only ([email protected]) - volunteer guides have been available sind 2016; both together last between 1 and 1.5 hours. The voluntary entry fee (5 Euros were suggested in August 2017) goes to the Carmelite Mission Society. The garden tour was particularly interesting - so much that one would easily overlook without the information. Away from the crowds this is one of Venice's lesser known locations, but it is very peaceful and enjoyable and perhaps just as representative of Venice as other, more popular destinations.
