Venice Lagoon

  Venice Lagoon, sprawled across the northern Adriatic Sea, serves as a stunning backdrop to the iconic city of Venice. This vast wetland, which dates back to antiquity, plays a crucial role in the city's ecosystem, providing habitat for diverse wildlife. Covering approximately 550 square kilometers, the lagoon features a network of canals and islands, allowing visitors to explore its unique landscape and rich maritime culture. In the spring and fall months, migratory birds flock here, making it a prime spot for birdwatching and photography. Visitors can hop on a Vaporetto (water bus) to navigate the lagoon, witnessing historic sites like Murano and Burano, famed for their glassmaking and vibrant houses.
