The Quiet side of Venice

You have all heard about the massive amount of tourists visiting Venice every day and how the city have tried to control this influx of people from all over the world.  And it is true, walking down Rio Terà S. Leonardo you are elbow to elbow fighting your way to your hotel or just  going home if you are a resident of the city.                                                                    However you can also turn down  Rio Terà Farsetti and you are suddenly by yourself. Free to explore Venice, the true Venice far from the crowds. The quiet side of Venice.

 

Stop and take time to look at a gate or even take a quick glimpse through the gate and see  a magnificent garden you never knew existed on the other side of the wall.
