Emy Speedboat Venice Lagoon Tours offers lagoon tours to discover the smaller islands and their history. The Venice Lagoon is a beautiful area of Veneto, Italy, offering numerous interesting attractions to visit. Here are some of the main attractions of the Venice Lagoon.
The city of Venice is the main attraction of the Venice Lagoon. With its canals, bridges, piazzas, and unique architecture, Venice is one of the most romantic and fascinating cities in the world. Don't forget to visit St. Mark's Square, the Rialto Bridge, the Grand Canal, and the Doge's Palace.
The Venice Lagoon is dotted with numerous fascinating islands. Among the most famous are Murano, renowned for its glassmaking; Burano, with its colorful houses and lacemaking tradition; and Torcello, one of the first inhabited centers of Venice with its Byzantine cathedral.
The Venice Lido, located along the lagoon's shore, is a long, narrow island offering beautiful beaches and a relaxed atmosphere. It's the ideal place to relax, take a stroll along the beach, and enjoy the view of the Venice Lagoon.
Chioggia, also known as "Little Venice," is a charming town on the mainland, on the southern shore of the lagoon. It boasts canals, bridges, and a lively fishing atmosphere. Be sure to visit the picturesque fish market and the Basilica of Santa Maria Assunta.
Pellestrina, located between the Lido di Venezia and Chioggia, is a quiet and charming island, famous for its beaches and picturesque fishing villages. It's the ideal place for a relaxing break away from the crowds of Venice.
Along the southern shore of the lagoon, the Murazzi del Po are a system of dams that protect Venice from the tides. Strolling along the Murazzi offers panoramic views of the lagoon and the city.
Mazzorbo: This small island is connected to Burano by a wooden bridge and offers a peaceful rural atmosphere. It is famous for its vineyards and wine production.
