Explore Lido Island in Venice on a breezy and scenic bike tour that combines natural beauty, history, and seaside charm. Start your journey by cycling along the Venetian Lagoon and pass through a peaceful garden that once served as the city’s Jewish cemetery. Visit San Nicolò Church, where the traditional Sposalizio del Mare ceremony still takes place, a ritual symbolizing Venice’s bond with the sea. Continue into the San Nicolò Natural Reserve and along the old pier toward the lighthouse for panoramic coastal views and glimpses of glamorous 1920s hotels like Grand Hotel des Bains and Hotel Excelsior. Pedal into the colorful village of Malamocco, a quiet neighborhood resembling a miniature Venice with canals and pastel buildings. Ride through dunes once beloved by poet Lord Byron and pause for a refreshing break at Alberoni Beach, where you can enjoy a swim or a local drink. End your excursion by biking along the Lagoon, admiring islands like Poveglia and San Lazzaro degli Armeni, before concluding your ride with a well-deserved spritz at the bustling Lido Market.
