Overview

DEPARTURE FROM PADUA OR ABANO / MONTEGROTTO TERME
With this tour in Chioggia we will discover this small seaside town of ancient origins, full of canals, bridges, alleys and pastel-colored houses with typical green balconies that will remind you of Venice, without however the crowds of tourists and without gondolas. The black silhouettes that line the canals of Venice are here replaced by colorful bragozzi, typical fishing boats of the Upper Adriatic characterized by brightly colored sails.

IMPORTANT: from November to March and in case of bad weather the boat tour will be replaced by an aperitif with spritz and cicchetti.

  6. Ponte di Vigo
    10m
    built in 1685 and decorated with marble in 1762 and still proudly guarded today by lions in Istrian stone. Another lion - amicably called "el gatòn" (the cat) - surmounts the slender grace of the Vigo column in the square of the same name.
