And an endless series of refreshment stands, bars and restaurants along the beach provides food and drink to thousands of suntan buffs and people who just can't get enough of the sun and the sea.

Parents and children together on holiday. Jesolo makes people forget the duties of everyday life in an atmosphere of joy through the various offers and ideas. A great amusement water park. Funny soft rubber games. Funfair with attractions to suit all tastes. And still more hundreds of shops open late at night. In  you find everything and far more than everything, but at the same time strictly respectful of peace and privacy.

Crazy, crazy Jesolo

An endless world which you explore by wandering between exciting places, shows and events, as well as bars, clubs and restaurants of all kinds that are open day and night. From 8 o'clock in the evening to 6 o'clock in the morning, Jesolo is open only to pedestrian traffic and thus becomes an unlimited, fantastic fun hourse brimming with merriment, fun and a pinch of craziness.

A great gastronomic tradition

A wide selection of excellent restaurants and inviting inns offers famous specialities based on the fish, crustaceans and molluscs that are the heart of the local cuisine. These simple, yet refined dishes are prepared with the mastery of a time-honored seafaring tradition. On the other hand, meat, vegetable and mushroom specialities reflect the gastronomic prestige of the Venetian hinterland. The excellent wines in the region are famous all over the world: Pinot, Cabernet, Sauvignon, Soave, Refosco and Prosecco are a worthy accompaniment to any gastronomic delight, and are reasonably priced as well. For young people, there are innumerable places to enjoy fast food that is fresh and original.

The first information about Jesolo as touristic centre go back to the end of the 19th Century when the first bathing establishment was opened on the beach in front of Piazza Marconi.

After the Great War the touristic activity grew quickly and villas, holiday camps and hotels were build. In 1937 there were in Jesolo 47 licences of rooms for rent, 24 public facilities and 4 season hotels. After three years the rooms for rent were 11, the apartments were 57, in addition to 2 inns, 1 restaurants, 3 boarding-houses and 6 hotels. In 1938 the tourists were 10.780. In 1939 the rooms for rent were 20, the apartments and villas were 76, the inns were 5, boarding-houses 3 and hotels 8; but it is after World War II that Jesolo found its way in tourism. The lido (beach) of Jesolo drew the attention of Venetians and Lombards who had capitals to invest in the new development of tourism, and built hotels, apartments, camp-sites, wet docks and villas, but also shops, restaurants and sports-facilities.

Lido di Jesolo at a few kilometers from the enchanting Venice, with its 15 kilometres of fine dolomite sand, accomodates every year over 10 millions of tourists (including those who overnight and those who stay for the day) who spend their holidays making escursions in the greenery of the pinewood and in the encahting valleys of the lagoon, who entertain themselves in the modern discos, in the squares with hundreds of shows of every kind, the coloured fun fairs and above all Via Bafile, the longest pedestrian way in Europe.
