Holiday in Jesolo

About Jesolo

Jesolo is the favorite beach of Germans and Austrians – and for good reason. Just a short hour's drive from Venice, this seaside resort on the upper Adriatic coast offers a 15-kilometer long, golden sandy beach, which is among the most extensive and well-maintained in Italy. Lido di Jesolo, as the coastal town is officially called, is the perfect combination of a relaxed beach holiday and cultural proximity to the lagoon city. The beach of Jesolo is a universe of its own. Over 400 Bagni line up, each with its own character – from family-friendly to exclusive. The water gently slopes, making Jesolo ideal for families with small children. Behind the beach stretches the Via Bafile, a three-kilometer long pedestrian zone with over 1,200 shops, restaurants, ice cream parlors, and bars. In the evening, Via Bafile transforms into a promenade where thousands of vacationers drift through the mild summer air. Beyond the beach, Jesolo surprises with modern architecture: The Jesolo Lido Village by Zaha Hadid, the Lighthouse Tower, and the innovative master plan for coastal development have attracted international attention. The water park Aqualandia and the Tropicarium & Shark Exhibition delight families. The lagoon behind the Lido offers nature experiences with birdwatching and boat tours. Getting there from southern Germany and Austria is straightforward: Via the Brenner Pass and the A4, Jesolo can be reached in about five hours from Munich. The proximity to Venice (Vaporetto from Punta Sabbioni in 30 minutes) makes Jesolo the ideal location for those who want to combine a beach holiday with cultural days in Venice. Parking at the beach costs between €5-10 per day in summer.
