A lot of attractions

Whatever you love to do, you will find an incredible range of choices in Jesolo, starting from visiting nearby Venice, the splendor of Italy's artistic and cultural heritage is never far away.

Explore Venice

Countless monuments and architectural masterpieces scattered among the six districts, called sestieri, in an inimitable atmosphere, full of romance and mystery: if you wish to combine a holiday of leisure and relaxation with an immersion in the artistic and historical beauties of Italy, visit the magical city of Venice, just a short drive from the golden beaches of Jesolo.

This little gem set in the lagoon is dotted with ancient palaces, exquisite churches and basilicas with their imposing bell towers, as well as with altane, small wooden structures used as a roof garden, exposed to the sun and the wind, which peek out from most Venetian houses: stroll through the evocative calli, namely the typical narrow streets of Venice’s sestieri, which lead into pretty little squares, cross some of the 400 bridges that connect the city’s 177 canals and feast your eyes on the majestic buildings reflected in the still surface of the canal water.

San Marco with its Basilica and the Doge’s Palace, the Rialto Bridge with its quaint little shops, the gallerie dell’Accademia for arts enthusias…But also the Scala del Bovolo for unparalleled views of Venice from the top and the Bridge of Sighs make Venice magical and irresistible, but the city has a lot more to offer: take a look at our tips and ideas for a unique and unforgettable experience exploring the Serenissima!

By car

Getting to Venice by car is convenient because the city is well connected with the rest of Italy thanks to a good highway network.

The A4 Turin-Trieste highway cuts the northern Italy region from East to West and touches all the main cities, up until reaching near Venice; take the Venice exit, enter the Mestre ring road (A57) and take Ponte della Libertà which takes you directly to Piazzale Roma.

Depending on where you are coming from, the other highways are: from north the A22 Brennero - Modena (Verona exit from which you take the A4); from south the A13 Bologna - Padova (Padova exit); from Belluno the A27 Belluno - Venice.

For those planning to arrive in Venice by car, Piazzale Roma is the closest point to Venice center where you can park. From here you can walk anywhere, or you can choose to take a vaporetto. The municipal garage (35 euros per day) in Piazzale Roma contains about 2,000 parking spaces and 180 motorcycle spaces and is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. However, its convenience comes at a price, so we would recommend booking in advance to make sure you get a spot. Piazzale Roma also has the San Marco Garage (45 euros per day), open all year round, which offers 900 parking spaces monitored 24/7.

An alternative to Piazzale Roma is the Tronchetto car park (26 euros per day), which can accommodate up to about 4500 vehicles including motorcycles, cars, campers, minibuses, vans and buses. The car park is connected to Venice by vaporetto and there is also the Ferry Boat public transport service to the Lido of Venice.

 There are many cheap car parks also in the industrial area of Porto Marghera, before Ponte della Libertà. The most convenient ones are in:
Via dell'Elettrotecnica, Via dei Petroli, Via Righi.
Once you leave the car, take the bus and you’ll be in Venice in about 10 minutes.
