The Lido is the long island between the lagoon and the Adriatic: beaches, villas, the Hotel Excelsior and the Palazzo del Cinema, home of the Venice International Film Festival.
The beach
The bathing establishments along the Lungomare.
The Festival
La Biennale’s film festival each late summer at the Palazzo del Cinema.
Hire a bike and ride the length of it.
Our advice: come in early summer, before the beaches fill.
