Private visit - Recommended visit, as it is a unique place in Venice. There is no room for more tenants. That is why only people with deep roots in Venice are buried. It is structured by trades.

Cemetery visit / Venice - A place that we usually rarely visit but in Venice, it is worth stopping there as we do at the “Monumental Cemetery of Milan” or the “Pere Lachaise” in Paris

Serene and Spiritual - Words cannot do this justice. It was a truly moving experience, the weather was stunning (avoid on misty days) and you can absolutely do this as a stop off en route to Murano and Burano.

Fascinating Tour! - Our tour guide was so accommodating and friendly giving us an 'off the beaten track' experience with a constant smile. He made us feel at ease and gave us a wealth of information. I can't wait to try out his other tours.

Cool ride - Cool and easy tour. Just a few minutes by boat from Venice, this cemetery occupies an entire island and is a great visit for those who like this type of attraction.

Interesting visit 5 minutes away by vaporetto - It is the island of the dead. In 1807 the French occupation decreed that it was unhealthy to bury corpses on dry land. The coffins are carried by boat (today you can see a funeral procession crossing the waters of the lagoon) The monastery and the graves of Igor Stravinsky, Joseph Brodsky, Sergei Diaghilev, Ezra Pound, Luigi Nono, Christian Andreas Doppler, Franco Basaglia and Zoran Mušič are interesting. 5 minutes by vaporetto.
