Riva degli Schiavoni

I love this street, 2 miles of great shops and restaurants.

Stroll next to the glittering water on one of the most beloved promenades, which is particularly charming close to sunset. Historically, this waterfront has been a vibrant hub since as early as the 9th century, originally serving as part of the port of San Marco. It's fascinating to think that for centuries, vessels from the Mediterranean and beyond have docked here. It must've been a vibrant scene where traders and sailors from various parts of the world engaged in lively exchanges in a multitude of languages. In fact, the name 'schiavoni' refers to Slavic merchants who transported cargo to Venice from across the Adriatic Sea. For a quieter experience, I highly recommend strolling further away from the bustling Piazza San Marco towards Giardini della Biennale, where you can soak in the sunset and enjoy a more serene setting. Don't miss out on another charming waterfront walk at Zattere, which may be less famous but is equally delightful.

Lots of people,cafes and tour groups. Best place to the pictures of boats. Reasonable priced souvenirs.

Beautiful walk if you can avoid the hoards of group tours. I suggest very early morning or after sunset.

Very nice views

Adjacent to Saint Mark's Square, one of the most beautiful walkways to enjoy breathtaking view of Venice. The photo was taken in 2018.

A pleasant place to walk and enjoy the view. Had a nice day here.

Went for an early morning wander, lovely scenes of gondolas floating on the canal banks, bridges, and great architecture, nice vibe.
