3Giudecca: A Quieter Retreat
While Giudecca is just a short vaporetto ride away from the bustling St. Mark’s Square, it feels like a world apart. This elongated island is characterized by a quieter and more residential atmosphere, providing a welcome escape from the crowds. Giudecca offers a serene waterfront promenade, historic churches, and a laid-back ambiance. The island’s Redentore Church, designed by Palladio, is a prominent landmark that adds to the architectural richness of the area. Visitors can savor the tranquility and enjoy stunning views of the main island from across the canal.
