Riva degli Schiavoni Site Features

The promenade offers an open, uninterrupted stretch of waterfront rare in central Venice, with wide views across St. Mark's Basin to San Giorgio Maggiore. Along its length, look for the Hotel Danieli, Santa Maria della Pietà (Vivaldi's own church), and the 1887 monument to Victor Emmanuel II -- as well as the busy vaporetto stops and gondola moorings that make it one of the city's main transit points as well as a destination in itself.
