Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Remarkable location
Lido de Venise
The Lido de Venise forms a long barrier between lagoon and Adriatic, with beaches, Liberty villas and boats that quickly reach the historic center. The atmosphere differs from Venice itself: more seaside, more airy, marked by bicycles, ancient hotels and the cinema festival.
Place
Chioggia
Chioggia It has canals, fishing docks and long streets where laundry, boats and markets give a very daily rhythm. More southern and less theatrical than Venice, it shows a laguna life made of fish, low bridges and colorful facades.
Place
Sottomarina
Sottomarina stretch its beach facing the Adriatic, with a beach promenade, baths and a very open light. The place talks especially to travelers who want to associate Chioggia a day of sea, between swimming, dyke and return in the evening to the canals.
Nature
Lagune de Venise
The Venice lagoon is not only a water bottom around the city: it mixes low islands, channels, mudflats and changing reflections. Chioggia, the shores of the south give a calmer view of this space, with fishing boats, birds and almost flat horizons.
