Porto Di Lido-Venezia, Venice
Lido di
Venezia, or simply "the Lido," is an
11-kilometer-long island that separates the Venetian Lagoon from the Adriatic
Sea. This island, home to around 20,400 residents, boasts ancient origins as
the first settlement in the Lagoon area. Lido now serves as a tranquil
dormitory suburb of Venice and a popular summer resort.
Lido offers a
serene escape with both public and private beaches, perfect for relaxation.
Enjoy biking paths and proximity to cultural events without the crowds of
Venice itself. Explore the fascinating village of Malamocco, cloaked in
legends and rooted in Roman civilization. Relax on the sunny shores of Blue Moon
Beach with its warm waters, pristine pool, and convenient amenities.
Visit the Chiesa Di San Nicolò, an important Venetian church rich in
history.
For shopping,
Lido caters mostly to locals, but you'll find a selection of boutiques along
the Gran
Viale Santa Maria Elisabetta. Explore Via Lepanto for pedestrian zones and Saturday street markets. The Il
Farmer's Market offers food and non-food items on Fridays and Tuesdays, while
the Conad
City supermarket and Rizzo deli provide grocery options. Rizzo's cafe near the
waterbus station is a great spot to grab a bite. During the summer, Lido transforms
into a vibrant nightlife scene with lively beach bars and clubs.
