The Lido scooter rental is ideal to embark in the discovery of the Lido and Pellestrina islands. Thanks to the scooter’s agility it is possible to reach incredibly beautiful outlooks on the territory really fast. Some of these paths are inaccessible with cars and too difficult to bike on, while walking might take too long and be very tiring (with a total distance of 25 km). But what exactly can you explore by renting a scooter at the Lido of Venice scooter rental?
Lido scooter rental: what to see and what to do on Lido island
Romanic church of San Nicolò
Every year, the Festa dello Sposalizio con il Mare feast is celebrated at this church. This very ancient celebration is a sort of propitiatory ritual where the Doge, heading a procession of boats, reaches open sea and prays for safe navigation and… abundant fish! The ceremony culminates in the throwing of a precious ring into the waters of the Adriatic Sea.
Liberty style villas
On the island of Lido, a lot of villas in liberty style were built, and to this day art and architecture fans are attracted by the absolute beauty of Art Nouveau
I Murazzi
Murazzi is a venetian word for “walls” and that’s exactly what they are: it’s an odd looking series of levees’ made of stone that are designed to keep the lagoon safe from the mercy of the tides and prevent flooding, especially around Chioggia-Sottomarina, Pellestrina and the Lido itself.
The beaches
Lido island’s beaches are attractive and relaxing, made of fine golden sand. The sea is very calm because of the many docks and dams built over the years to break the might of the waves.
Malamocco’s town
Malamocco was the first settlement of the ancient city of Venice. Of Romanic origin, when it was founded, Malamocco was the port of the city of Padua, to which it was connected by the Brenta river.
