At a Glance

Visiting the Adriatic Coast & Venetian Riviera

The warm waters of the Adriatic wash up on some beautiful beaches along this historic coastline, and there’s plenty of manmade beauty to explore too. Spend your Adriatic holidays soaking up the sun, strolling through history, admiring the exquisite architecture and craftsmanship of medieval towns and cities, joining the hustle and bustle of friendly seaside resorts or experiencing the peace of deserted islands off Croatia or in the Venetian Lagoon. All on the doorstep of your stunning Adriatic campsite.

Feel the Adriatic Coast & Venetian Riviera

Immerse yourself in warm Adriatic waters or soak up the local history, follow in the footsteps of explorers, traders and craftsmen or make your own way through the foothills of the Dolomites, feel the thrill of the world’s tallest waterslide or experience the peace of the vast underground halls, join the hustle and bustle of seaside resorts or sit on the side lines with a glass of chilled white wine. Perfect for an idyllic family camping holiday on the Adriatic coast.

Taste the Adriatic Coast & Venetian Riviera

Italy’s epicurean capital serves up pastas, pizzas and ragus, fresh fish, cheeses and meats. It also has a sweet tooth, and if you do too, you won’t be able to resist Zuppa Inglese, Torta di Riso de Bologna, doughnuts and, of course, ice-cream. If you’re hanging out at Harry’s Bar in Venice make sure you order a Bellini Cocktail, otherwise there are plenty of great regional wines to enjoy. Across the border in Croatia, there are fish, crab and shell fish, truffles, Istrian ox and cured hams. Perhaps you’d better give up on that diet until you get home.

Explore the Adriatic Coast & Venetian Riviera

You don’t have to be a history buff to enjoy exploring the medieval towns and cities of the region - although you might become one by the time you head home. There is the opulence and majesty of Venice with its palaces, grand Verona with its roman amphitheatre and elegant buildings and perfectly preserved Bologna and Ferrara. For something different why not challenge yourself to a bungee jump, or white knuckle ride – this region has some of Europe’s biggest and best adventure parks.

You really must not leave The Adriatic until you have seen Venice! Take a waterbus down the Grand Canal lined with elegant and impressive houses and palaces. Navigate the side ‘streets’ on a gondola. Join the crowds in St Mark’s Square and on the Bridge of Sighs, or hop over to one of the smaller, quieter islands and explore.

Verona, Juliette's balcony
