Walk north away from the busy town centre and you come across a residential area with large Victorian houses and quiet streets. The Venice Lido (Lido di Venezia) is an island, usually just referred to as 'the Lido'. It's the narrow strip of land which separates the central part of the Venetian lagoon from the Adriatic Sea. Once just a natural barrier, the Lido is now Venice's seaside. It's also the origin of the word 'lido' as used old bathing establishments. The Lido is also where the Venice Film Festival takes place in September. We had just missed it when we were there.
