Venice Holidays

While WiFi is free in most restaurants, bars, cafes and hotels, it may be confined to the public areas of the hotel only, so do check your hotel facilities in Lido di Jesolo. Hotels generally don’t feature entertainment. However, live music can be enjoyed at pavement cafes, restaurants, and sometimes parks and other public spaces during the summer months.

Travel Department can inform our Lido di Jesolo hotels of your dietary requests, such as gluten-free, vegetarian or vegan foods, when notified in advance. Please note that choices may be limited compared to the offering found in hotels at home.

For restaurants and hotel dining rooms you can dress casually, but we suggest you avoid wearing “beach wear”, such as shorts and flip flops. When visiting churches and holy places, cover up bare flesh; shoulders, chest, legs.

Due to the unique nature and position of Venice, some parts of your excursion will involve travelling by waterbus.  Your guided walking tour will have a duration of approximately 2.5 hours. Although this is mostly on the flat, some of the terrain will be uneven or cobbled. A reasonable degree of health and mobility is required.  For specific advice regarding our guided Venice excursions and to discuss any special needs, please contact us directly and we will be happy to assist. 

You will be met on arrival at your destination airport and transferred to your accommodation. You will be accompanied on all included excursions by your Travel Department guide. Your expert local guide is also available to give you tips and advice on any aspect of your holiday.

High water levels may occasionally occur in Venice and are unpredictable. In the event of unsuitable conditions, your guide may change the scheduled day of operation or (very rarely) substitute the excursion to Venice with an alternative full day excursion.

Due to its position on the Adriatic Coast, the Venetian Riviera offers great seafood dishes, for example the popular fritto misto – crunchy fried squid and prawns, served with a squeeze of zingy lemon.  As Venice was historically an important trading hub you will see some influences from the Middle East, with many recipes featuring delicate spicing. If you fancy a sweet treat, then try Buranelli. These Venetian butter biscuits are the perfect accompaniment to a coffee as you take in the sights of Venice.

This part of Italy has a pleasant climate for most of the year, with temperatures rising to around 30°c during the peak holiday season of July and August. In spring and autumn, days are generally warm and sunny with cool breezes, making it the perfect time for relaxing and sightseeing.

Our holiday to The Venetian Riviera is perfect for those looking to unwind and soak up the sun and as a bonus, Venice is very accessible. On our Lake Garda holidays, we’ll take a guided day trip to Venice and have free time to discover this remarkable city; it’s just one of the many highlights of Italy.
