 Art deco tiling, Lido by Rachael71
From the ferry terminal it is no more than a 15 minute walk down the main street to the beach. On the way you will pass stunning examples of art deco architecture such as the tiled facade of this hotel, which reminds you that at the beginning of the 20th century, the Venetian Lido was the place to spend your summers. The Grand Hotel des Bains, which featured in the film 'Death in Venice' overlooks the beach. The beach itself isn't very nice though.
You can hire bicycles for an afternoon to explore the island further, perhaps going down the seafront to see the area where the Venice Film Festival is held. The cafes along the main road are quite reasonably priced should you work up a thirst! Leave a Comment

Lido is where the "beau monde" comes together during the yearly film festival. Nice boulevards, expensive shops, even more expensive hotels, private beaches, parties, ...: this is what the Lido is all about.
During my stay in Venice, I spent 2 hours there, strolling on the boulevards and the beach. It's not really my kind of place, the beach is packed with cabins and seats and is not what I call pretty. But as said, nice to relax for a couple of hours if you have enough of Venice. Leave a Comment

 Relinde picking shells. Des
Bains (background) by Jerelis
We had a great walk via Gran Viale Santa Maria Elisabetta all across the island and ended up at the famous beach. We passed The Grand Hotel des Bains. This hotel is Built in 1900 and was remodeled in 1989. It’s set in the heart of a lush centuries old park. We learned that it has been partially restructured In 1989, but respecting its original layout and its period decorations. The hotel still retains the essence of its Belle Epoque Style with extraordinary wrought iron balustrades. Besides that it has elegant facades and palladian inspired colonades. Leave a Comment

 The entrance of the Excelsior
hotel. by Jerelis
The Lido is at its most popular during the first week of September when it hosts the famous Venetian film festival. During this time the whole island is besieged by Hollywood, film-makers and press from around the globe. Leave a Comment

 Enjoying a pizza at Gran Viale
S.M. Elisabeth. by Jerelis
We passed by "Forte di San Nicolo" and "Forte die Sant", two 16th century fortresses. Besides that we had a look at the Jewish Cementery, with its 16th and 17th century tomb-stones. Finally we once again ended up at Grand Viale Santa Maria Elisabetta and enjoyed a great pizza!
We enjoyed our visit to the Lido and do remember that there's much more than just the beach! Leave a Comment

Just a few minutes by vaporetto from Venice Island, Lido Island is an 18km long stretch of land and it's a great excursion if you've had your share of historic buildings and want to see some greenery.
From the first moment I stepped into Lido , I can see that it is completely different. First, the buildings are modern and there are public buses on the streets. Trees and rosebushes line the streets and makes a good change from all the cobble streets, bridges and close alleyways
Hotels and restaurants here are also less expensive and provide better value. Summer is a popular time for Venetians and Italians because of the beaches. I might want to stay here the next time I visit Venice :-)

Did you know that Venice had a beach? If you have the time and just want to relax, consider going to Lido for the day. I wouldn't say it is the most stunning beach in the world, but it is good if you have been travelling hard for a long time and just need a break. (like I did!) You can catch the ferry there from just outside Piazza San Marco (takes about 1/2 hour). Leave a Comment
