The consensus among visitors seems to be that this row of fishermen's cottages on the east bank of the Regnitz River does not look like Venice. The half-timber houses, built in the 15th and 16th centuries are all different and distinctly German. They are cantilevered over the river bank and are accessible by boat. The illusion continues however with gondolas-for-hire floating by at Little Venice, a good vantage point from which to view the houses. In spring and summer the balcony gardens blossom and swans, geese and ducks swim in the river, adding to the photogenic scene. There are apartments for hire within the houses.
