A day at the beach with children + Venice visit: the perfect programme starting from Hotel Rivamare

Spending a summer day on the Venice Lido with children can be simple, fun, and relaxing. Starting from Hotel Rivamare, it is possible to combine a quick visit to Venice with a long break at the beach, organising every moment so that both children and parents can enjoy it.

Morning: Venice in a few hours

• Departure from the hotel: reach the vaporetto stop within a few minutes on foot and head towards St. Mark’s Square.
• Walk among the city’s icons: take a short visit to St. Mark’s Basilica (we recommend only the exterior to avoid long queues), and climb the Bell Tower for a breathtaking panoramic view over the city and the lagoon.
• The Bridge of Sighs seen through children’s eyes: walking along Ponte della Paglia, you can tell children the story of the Serenissima Republic and the prisoners who crossed the Bridge of Sighs. Short anecdotes and curiosities about Venetian life can turn the visit into a small, fascinating and fun journey through time.
• Optional gondola ride: if time allows, a short gondola ride can enchant children without tiring them.
• Return to the Lido: take the vaporetto back to the island late in the morning, ready to enjoy lunch and the beach in the afternoon.

Lunch: Marbeach, Miramare beach

• Once back at the Lido, walk to Miramare beach, just a few minutes from the hotel.
• At Marbeach, children can enjoy sandwiches, piadine, and quick snacks, while adults savour fresh seafood dishes right with their feet in the sand.

Afternoon: relaxation and beach games

• After lunch, settle under an umbrella on comfortable sunbeds: the perfect moment for parents to relax while children swim or build sandcastles.
• Miramare beach is safe and well equipped, ideal for alternating between sand games, ball play, and running along the shoreline.

Return to the hotel

• After a day full of sun, sea, and short excursions, Hotel Rivamare is just a few steps away: perfect for a quick shower and a relaxing break before dinner.
• The close proximity to the beach makes the return easy and stress-free, especially with children.

This itinerary combines sea, relaxation, and the magic of Venice in a single day, making a stay on the Lido comfortable, fun, and stress-free for the whole family.
