Riding in the Venetian lagoon: what to know
Getting around the lagoon by bike is simple: routes are flat, short and close to the water. A city bike is more than enough, and rates here stay lower than in the busier seaside resorts. Spring and early autumn are the best times, with fewer crowds and mild weather. If you’re hopping between islands or over to the mainland, check which shops allow bikes on the connecting boats and buses.
