Lido

About
Protecting the Venetian Lagoon from the Adriatic Sea, this long and narrow barrier island beckons you to indulge in a relaxing day on its sandy shores. Tour the Lido on a rented bike and discover centuries-old locations suspended in time, like the Jewish Cemetery and the quaint Malamocco village.
You can reach Lido by water bus from Venice’s old core, and it takes just over a couple of hours to hike end to end. Visit in the warmer months; the island comes to life in late August and early September when it hosts the prestigious Venice Film Festival.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

In the Middle Ages it was known as the island of St. Nicholas. Since 1053, a Benedictine abbey has stood in the northern part, built to preserve the remains of St. Nicholas, the patron saint of sailors. Located about 1 km from Venice, famous for its beaches. Every year in September, the Lido hosts the Venice Film Festival, the first ceremony of which was held in 1932.

The beach, the location and pretty much everything was amazing. Venice is beautiful but equally nice to stay on the Lido to have somewhere to relax, a beach, nice running route and not as busy as Venice. Great to travel from the Lido to many many places with ease at all hours too.

We used the Lido on Bike rental company and had a marvelous experience. The staff took ample time to explain to us how to use the bike and where to ride. Be aware: bikes in Lido are only allowed on the street like a car, not the sidewalk. We took a nice ride in the double bike based on a map provided by the company and even stopped to enjoy the beach for a while. When we returned the bike, the staff gave us an excellent restaurant recommendation to end our visit on the island. I highly recommend using Lido on bike!

We visited the Lido twice, arriving at the (only?) free beach mid afternoon on both days, having had an explore of Venice beforehand.
Super location and very relaxing.
Tips… remember that the water buses cost a small fortune (7.50 euro for a 75 minute ticket) and you have to pay for everything at the free beach (WCs, shower etc)

Decaying, old looking beach resort. Simmilar to the cheap, family beaches. Dusty, dusty. Very strange since Lido di Venezia is otherwise renowned and presented as very interesting, posh, etc.

With only a 10/15 minute boat journey from Venice I would stay here and avoid the crowds. Had a laid back, more classy and easy feel about the place. It has a gorgeous beach with paid and free beach, go early, gets busy. Great places to eat and the villas looked amazing to stay in.

bring sandals because the sand is a bit coarse. costs 1 euro to use either the shower or the bathroom which is unfortunate. Showers are not private, open for all to see.

A relaxation day to give our feet a rest from all the sightseeing!
A water taxi to the lido & an easy 10 minute walk to the beach.
We had the option of the free public beach or to pay €18 for two sunbeds & a sun umbrella, also included was free use of the changing rooms, toilet & shower. We chose the sunbeds & had the choice of position, just like choosing a seat at the theatre, great idea!
The sunbeds were well laid out to allow for social distancing, it was very clean & it was quiet all day, fantastic!
A great day out & feet well rested for the following day!

Hi I'm planning to visit Venice in the first week of November with my girlfriend, we have 5 days to explore and we were thinking of popping over to Lido for 1 of the days. As big movie buffs we were wondering if the Palazzo del Cinema and the area around the Venice film festival are open to the public when the festival is not on? Is it possible to catch an English movie or even just grab a coffee in this building? There is a distinct lack of information on the internet regarding what happens with this area during the off season when the festival is not running. Any help at all would save us wasting time venturing to far away from Granviale Santa Maria Elisabetta if there is nothing to see in the Venice Film Festival area during the winter months.

Hi, I don't know but how about calling/emailing the hotel concierge in one of the luxury hotels. They know everything and are always an excellent source. ;-)
We've not been in Venice during the film festival yet, as we are really more interested in the Art Biennale and Architecture Biennale.

Buenas noches, voy a quedarme una semana en Lido y me gustaría saber cuál es la mejor opción como transporte teniendo en cuenta que también tenemos que llegar desde el aeropuerto de marco polo por la noche. Pase de 7 días? Muchas gracias

Si sin duda el pase de 7 días es la opción, dado que se usa mucho el traghetto, el transporte público en el área es uno de los mas caros, por lo que si van a estar 7 días mejor el pase, el cual tiene rutas bien diseñadas para aprovechar al máximo y visitar no solo Venecia o Lido, incluso Murano.

We bought tickets online for airport transport from Marco Polo to Mestre Venice. From Mestre you can buy Venezia Unica tickets and take bus to Venice. This ticket is valid for vaporeto and entrances to attractions depends what tickets you buy. Check on website Venecia Unica for best prices.
