those that like to go exploring, Lido di Jesolo is the perfect base.
Located only 30 minutes away from Venice and close to main motorways,
there are many places of interest to see that are very easy to reach.
Padova

just one of the splendid sights in this beautiful city.

Less
than 45 minutes away from Jesolo, Venice is without
a doubt the most romantic city in the world. Visit St
Mark's square, with the exquisite Basillica, or one
of the several museums. Or take a trek around the narrow
back streets of Venice. No visit is complete without
a ride on a gondola...
How
to get there:
Excursions are available
through tour companies, but it is very easy to get there
yourself. Take the bus to Punta Sabioni and take the
Waterbus to St Marks square.

other famous historical monuments, notably Via Capello,
the street named after the family that Shakespeare named
in Romeo and Juliet.

music or the city's summer festival. Bologna is less than
2 hours from Lido di Jesolo by car,
or you can get there by train. |
