Escape to the Lido, the sandy barrier island that gives Venice its sea breeze. Cycle or stroll past Art Nouveau villas, then head to the Adriatic beach for a swim or a long walk along the shore.
Full description
The Lido is a thin barrier island that shields the lagoon from the Adriatic Sea, reached by a short vaporetto ride from Venice. Unlike the car-free historic centre, it has roads, bicycle paths, and a holiday-town feel.
Long sandy beaches line the sea side, backed by Art Nouveau and Liberty-style hotels and villas that recall its early-20th-century resort heyday. It is also home to the Venice Film Festival's main venue.
Visitors come to walk or cycle, swim in summer, and enjoy open space after the dense canals of the historic centre.
