Venice Bike Tour: The Beach Of The Venetians

Lido is the beach of the Venetians and as a local I love to go there to swim, walk, run or cycle enjoying its sea breeze and nature. The island was also very loved by European aristocratic families during the Belle Époque period at the beginning of the 20th century. They used to spend their holidays in its grand hotels along the beach, like the Excelsior and the Des Bains that inspired Thomas Mann's book 'Death in Venice' and where the movie itself was filmed. Lido is famous nowadays in particular for the Venice Film Festival that takes place at the end of Summer. During these days Lido becomes the red carpet for movie stars chased by photographers along the beach, exclusive parties in the hotels and many cinema lovers. This tour will give you the possibility to discover a different and unexpected side of Venice, away from the city centre, between lagoon and sea with its own charming history.
