Jesolo is in the Veneto region of Italy. This coastal town is very popular with foreign tourists, especially Germans and Austrians, and also with the Italians and it is one of the longest beaches in Italy, stretching over 13 km. It has a wide range of hotels, shops and attractions next to the beach. It is also very close to Venice and its lagoon and many other intersting places in North-east Italy.
Jesolo is divided into two main parts: one is Jesolo Centro (known by locals as Jesolo “Paese”) which is only 3 km from the sea and lies on the banks of the River Sile and the Cavetta canal. Here you can find the City Hall, on the right side of the Sile. From there you can reach the valleys of the Venetian Lagoon and, if you have a bike, you will soon get to the countryside.
The other part is Jesolo Lido (or as its official name “Lido di Jesolo”), which indicates the beach town itself. This goes from the little fishing village of Cortellazzo on the east, at the end of river Piave, to the west where you will find the end of River Sile, the lighthouse (actually it is on the opposite bank of the river) and the famous Terrazzamare Teatrobar, the heart of Jesolo’s summer nightlife.
Jesolo Lido can be divided into specific areas:
Lido Ovest: the western part of the beach, towards Cavallino - Treporti. In this area you will find the Faro (lighthouse), the Porto Turistico (Marina), the end of river Sile, Piazza Nember, Piazza Marina, Piazza Aurora, Camping International, Aqualandia and much more.
Lido Centro: the central part, here you will find Piazza Mazzini, Piazza Brescia, Piazza Marconi, Pala Arrex, Picchi Stadium and the nearby roundabout from where you can reach every part of the city, attractions such as Pista Azzurra, Sealife, Tropicarium and more.
Lido Est: the eastern part of Jesolo Lido. This area is greener than Ovest and Centro. Here you will find Piazza Milano, Piazza Torino, the city’s Hospital, Parco Grifone.
Pineta: This is the area where you will find campings and hotels, it is very quiet and relaxing and pretty close to the village of Cortellazzo, at the end of river Piave.
The origin of Jesolo dates back at the time of the fall of the Roman Empire, when barbarian tribes such as the Huns invaded Italy from north-east, forcing the population to move towards the swamp area near the sea. Most of the original inhabitants came from the Roman town of Opitergium (today’s Oderzo). They were all forced to move where now the Venetian Lagoon is, settling down on the small islands and eventually founding towns like Eraclea and even Venice itself.
At the beginning of its history Jesolo was called “Equilium”, from the latin word “equus” which means “horse”. This was probably due to the fact that they were horse breeders. The people there had to fight and claim land to the sea. This process took centuries under the control of the Venice Republic and it literally transformed the territory for example by changing the course of rivers Sile and Piave.
The beginning of Jesolo as a touristic town dates back to early 20th century, but it was only after the Second World War that the beach town started developing. Unfortunately, at that time there was no regulation and many buildings and hotels were constructed on the seafront. This prevented Jesolo from having a proper seafront like you can see in many other coastal towns around Italy and the world.
Getting to Jesolo is quite easy during most part of the year, but in the summer traffic is really heavy. So, if you’re coming by car or by bus you might consider arriving in town late afternoon (not in the evening as the main street in Jesolo Lido is pedestrian at night) to avoid peak hours. Be patient if you get stuck in your car and don’t forget to bring some water: the Italian sun is hot in the summer!
A4 motorway and exit at San Dona di PiaveNoventa di Piave. Then follow indications to Jesolo or ‘’’mare’’’ (brown-coloured sign) or to Cavallino, which is another very busy touristic area nearby. The motorway exit is around 28 km from Jesolo Lido.
You will probably arrive in Jesolo Lido at the big “Picchi” roundabout (named after the nearby Picchi Stadium): from here you can reach every part of the city, just pay attention to the roadsigns. If you’re going to Cavallino you have to take the underpass, otherwise stay on the right to enter the roundabout.
Arriving in Jesolo on the weekends can be difficult due to the heavy traffic. Try not to get in town on Sundays from morning to mid-afternoon or be prepared for long queues.
From Venice Airport “Marco Polo” or Treviso Airport “Canova” you can get buses run by local company ATVO. It will take you to Jesolo Lido bus station, only 5 min walking from Via Bafile, the main street, and the beach.
You can also reach get a bus from Piazzale Roma in Venice, the trip takes at least one hour.
There is no train station in Jesolo. The closest one is in San Donà di Piave (the station itself is called “San Donà di Piave - Jesolo” but it’s 25 km away from the beach) where you should get a bus.
You will basically walk from your accommodation to the beach which can be literally few metres away if you’re in one of the beachfront hotels. Then you will walk along ‘’’Via Bafile’’’, the main street, which starts at ‘’’Piazza Marconi’’’ and continues after ‘’’Piazza Nember’’’. The street is named after Andrea Bafile, an Italian soldier and hero of the First World War who died after rescuing a fellow soldier in Cortellazzo. The street changes name after the piazzas: it is named “Via Bafile” from Piazza Marconi to Piazza Mazzini; then it is called Via Silvio Trentin until Piazza Aurora; then it changes again to Via Ugo Foscolo until the tiny Piazza Marina; then it is called Via Verdi until Piazza Nember where it changes again in Via dei Mille until its end which is very close. After that there’s the last part of the road leading to Piazzetta faro, the beach at the end of the river Sile, the famous Camping International, the Porto Turistico and the Terrazzamare Teatrobar, which is probably the best place for the night time with spectacular views of the river, the sea and the lighthouse. The whole Via Bafile, with its many names, from May to September is pedestrian 20:00-06:00 and it is packed with people. In the same period there is another pedestrian way at night between Piazza Milano and Piazza Torino in Lido Est.
Please note that many residents refer to this long street simply as Via Bafile, and if they have to indicate a particular place they will make reference to the piazzas instead.
The whole Via Bafile has a bike path on its side and moving around with bicycles is really handy. Some hotels have their own bike-rental service, otherwise you can find many around the main street. Pay attention with your bicycle if you’re going on Via Bafile at night as it can be really crowded at least until midnight.
ATVO is the local bus company and there are many buses connecting all parts of the Lido. ATVO buses don’t go on Via Bafile but on its parallel ‘’’Via Aquileia’’’. Anyway it is quite easy to get a citymap at the bus station or at the tourist offices and hotel information offices.
Jesolo Paese hasn’t much to offer apart from some shops and the green area around the City Hall. There is a local market every friday in Piazza Kennedy, few minutes walking from Jesolo Paese bus stop. Check for shuttle services run by ATVO from Jesolo Lido bus station. An interesting thing is found in Via Antiche Mura and it’s the last part of a palaeo-Christian church which dates back to the Fourth century. It is said it was destroyed by Attila and the Huns but there’s no evidence about it. There are also plans to create a sort of archeological-historical park around here but there hasn’t been any confirmation yet.
Jesolo Lido in the colder seasons is almost a dead town, with nearly every hotel closed or open just for few days during New Years Eve, or Carnival and Easter. Also many shops, bars and restaurants are closed from October/November until April. In springtime and summer the town changes completely: bars, restaurants, shops and more are opened usually until late September.
In the past decade Jesolo has gone through major developments, with more attractions and events spread through the year and especially in the summertime. Some of these new attractions are great for the kids but even adults can have a lot of fun.

Around the Venetian lagoon you can visit other smaller islands, which are worth a visit. There is also the Lido, which is a long narrow island with more modern buildings, hosting a youth hostel and a hotel, also the place where every September the annual Venice Movie Festival is held.
Venice - One of the most famous cities in the world, simply amazing.
Burano - Nearby island with typical textiles and painted houses.
San Lazzaro - Nearby island with Armenian monastery and impressive art collection, some world class pieces.
Mestre - Mestre is the Mainland, but still part of Venice, it is a modern town and there is nothing really worth to see here.
If you have a car you can easily reach many other places around Jesolo. You can visit Treviso which is 40 minutes away, or going up to the hills and mountains to visit Conegliano and taste the best Prosecco wine in Italy. Or you can go on towards Vittorio Veneto and Belluno before reaching the Dolomites and the beautiful valleys among th Alps, and towns like Cortina d’Ampezzo.
Following the coastline northward you can visit beautiful towns such as Caorle or Bibione, or Lignano and Grado with its beautiful lagoon. You can take the A4 motorway to visit the region of Friuli Venezia Giulia and the historical towns of Udine and Trieste which is at the border between Italy and Slovenia and also very close to Croatia.
If you’re into history and archaeology you can’t miss the chance of visiting the beautiful town of Aquileia, near Udine, or the archaeological area of Quarto d’Altino, near Treviso.
