"Overlooking Venice from Ponte di Riva degli Schiavoni Riva degli Schiavoni is one of the most crowded areas in Venice—and understandably so. It's a picturesque waterfront in the central Castello district of the city, right along the Bacino di San Marco and the narrow bridge over the Rio di Palazzo della Paglia. Some might say that holding hands or kissing while crossing this bridge will bring good luck and a long-lasting relationship."

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.

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

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

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