A bucket-and-spade classic
The essence of traditional Italy, Lido di Jesolo’s a trendy scene of blue-and-white-striped loungers sitting before rolling waves. This sun-freckled resort offers kilometres upon kilometres of Blue Flag beach. It’s got a beside-the-pier vibe with more charisma than you can shake an ice lolly stick at.
Venetian Vibrance
A day trip to Venice has to be on the cards. Immerse yourself in pure beauty between a maze of gondolas and serene cityscapes, sampling sumptuous local delicacies as you explore. Stay a while and experience a cosmopolitan night out, or head back to the resort for laid-back bars and after-dark clubs.
Family fun
When it comes to fun-filled family days out, look no further than Jesolandia. From bumper cars to revolving rides, you can get your theme park fix within seconds of entering this colour-clad fantasy realm. Throw in a waterpark and world-famous city right on your doorstep, and there’s plenty to keep the whole family entertained.
What is the Venetian Riviera famous for?
The Venetian Riviera, also known as the Veneto Coastline, is a beautiful stretch of the Adriatic Sea in the northeast of Italy. It stretches from the historic city of Venice southwards to the resort town of Cavallino-Treporti. The area is famous for its wide, sandy beaches, crystal-clear waters, and family-friendly holiday resorts. It offers a perfect blend of natural beauty and easy access to Venice, making it a popular destination for sun-seekers and culture lovers alike.
What is the best time of year to visit the Venetian Riviera?
The best time to visit is during the summer months, from June to September, when the weather is warm and sunny, and all facilities are open. July and August are the peak season, with hotter temperatures and a lively atmosphere. For a quieter holiday with pleasant weather, consider late May, June, or early September. The shoulder months are ideal for cycling and sightseeing without the intense summer heat.
Are the beaches private or public?
The beaches along the Venetian Riviera operate on a "stabilimento balneare" system. While there are public beach areas, most of the coastline is lined with private beach establishments. For a fee (which varies by season and resort), you gain access to sun loungers, umbrellas, changing rooms, showers, and often beach bars and water sports rentals.
Can you see Venice from the Venetian Riviera?
While you cannot see the historic centre of Venice (the Grand Canal) from the Riviera due to distance, you get spectacular views of the Venetian Lagoon. From the beaches, you can see the islands of Vignole and Sant'Erasmo, and the silhouette of the Venice skyline, including the iconic Mirano Tower, on clear days.
