Travel guide Chioggia
Your journey to the holiday home in Chioggia
The town and fishing city of Chioggia is Venice's little sister city and is located on the southern side of the Venice Lagoon. It can be reached by car, public transport, or airplane. By car, you travel via highways and expressways to Padua and from there continue on the country road to Chioggia. Particularly impressive is the crossing of the bay on the last stretch of the route, which gives you a moody start to your
beach holiday in Chioggia. By train, you have a connection from Chioggia to Rovigo and from there to all major cities in Europe. Bus lines take you to any place within the Venice region, to Venice and Padua. The nearest international airport is in Venice. If you want to drive around a lot to visit the Chioggia attractions, a rental car can be worthwhile. Traveling by water with the local water taxis and ferries is more stylish. Book a large apartment or accommodation or an object at a reasonable price directly on the sandy beach and explore the surroundings during your stay with your family and possibly with a pet.
