How to see a sunset on the waterfront in Venice
Take a glass of wine and reach the Slavic waterfront (Riva degli Schiavoni). Here you will see the most beautiful view of the sunset in Venice.

Against the background of blazing sunset sky you will see the silhouette of the St. Mark's Basilica, the outline of gondolas gently swaying on the waves and the lights of the island of San Giorgio Maggiore.
