When last here, in 2019, we stayed in Giudecca and the Arsenale and Giardini were but a few vaporetto stops from the apartment. Get on on the vaporetto, spend five minutes on the water crossing from Giudecca, get off, and viola.
This time we stayed in a different part of town. (see map). To get to either of the big exhibit halls we'd a bit of a walk which forced us to see more of Venice. First we would head northeast via a long walled path (above photo) then we followed the long waterfront past a few cafes, then on to the hospital, then past the hospital ambulance boats all lined up. Past the emergency room dock with its sliding doors (for patient privacy) and associated traffic light. Then we'd head inward, southeast, and suddenly we'd be at the naval museum and then cross a canal and we were there, the Arsenale. The Giardini is but a little farther. Keep heading southeast, to the water, then a little more, and you are in a park and you are there.

Venice is like the prototypical city motif — you’re not going to find anything. There is no off the beaten track in Venice. All tracks are beaten. Lisa Small, senior curator of European Art, Brooklyn Museum
