Sottomarina
A seaside resort in the Northern Adriatic, renowned for the quality of its very fine sand and the iodine-rich air of the sea.
Spending your holidays in Sottomarina is fun and relaxing: by day, there is a huge stretch of beach for children to play safely, in the evening you can go shopping or stroll around the large pedestrianised areas and squares recently renovated in the town centre.
Chioggia
The fascination of Chioggia lies in its picturesque canals, which mirror the surrounding buildings and bridges, and the colourful boats that glide along them, which are used by the very active local population to go fishing, the town's main economic activity.
A flourishing town sitting between the Venetian lagoon and the Po delta, Chioggia is particularly favoured by tourists because of its artistic heritage of historical buildings and fascinating alleyways, as well as its ancient culinary traditions, which are jealously guarded in these alleyways.
Venice
50 km from Sottomarina, Venice retains the ageless charm of the country's biggest maritime republic.
Watching the splendid sunsets over alleys and bridges, taking a trip on a gondola, enjoying a coffee in St. Mark's Square and the busy calendar of international events, like the Carnival or the International Cinema Exhibition at the Lido, make the city an unmissable stop on any holiday to the northern Adriatic.
Venetian hinterland
For guests who want to enjoy the spectacle of the Venetian hinterland, the Hotel Bristol has the experience to recommend excursions to Padua, Vicena, Verona and the spectacular Po delta, to discover the architectural and naturalistic wonders of the Brenta Riviera.
Cycle tourism itineraries
Chioggia is located along some of the most splendid cycling routes in Veneto: the Ciclovia of the Islands of Venice, the Veneto ring and Via del Mare.
