CITIES: ARCHITECTURE AND SOCIETY

from 10th sep to 19th nov. opening time: 10 - 18.00 closed on monday!!! ticket: 13euro adult, 8euro students under 26 ( bring a document of school) the biennale is divided into 2 expo: ARSENALE and GIARDINI the ticket is valid for both places, one entrance for each place, but you can visit them in different days.

it takes 4-5 hours to visit arsenale but the whole day to visit gardens. in venice there are no transport except boats, but they are a little expensive. you can take the boat called ' vaporetti' to the gardens or to arsenale from STATION ( piazzale ROMA) or form SAN MARCO SQUARE that goes through CANAL GRANDE. its very nice but often really crowded, expecially if you visit the city during the weekend i think the best way is to go during the week, there are less tourists, also in the biennale expo....!!!! its really nice to go by walking, from PIAZZALE ROMA to the GARDENS is about one hour walking, and you can see RIALTO BRIDGE and SAN MARCO SQUARE with the cathedral and the palace of the DOGE, and walk thorugh the little fashinating streets of venice. but remeber to buy a map, because is really easy to get lost!!!
