Venice
Giardini & Arsenale
Venice asks you to move by foot and by vaporetto: national pavilions in the Giardini, project rooms in the Arsenale, and churches that become temporary galleries without losing their silence.
No city stages the argument between history and the present as visibly. When the Biennale is on, the whole lagoon becomes a single itinerary — but Venice rewards return visits in the quieter months too.
