Zattere
This point of interest is available as audio on the tour: Visit Venice, At one with the “Serenissima”
Welcome to Zattere. A charming and lesser-known spot, boats used to dock here to unload their timber cargoes. Back then, everything was built from this natural material — bridges, houses, and boats. Many wooden boats were, and still are, repaired in the workshops here. Today, you can walk on the 2-kilometre long Zattere quay for a pleasant seafront stroll. Venetians come here to relax, unwind, and enjoy the last rays of sunshine casting a stunning glow over the lagoon. Unlike the city centre’s narrow alleys, this area is much more open and filled with light.
