When it comes to lagoon, we usually think of
Venice. For a long time I didn't know it, that there are also other cities in the
northern Adriatic Sea that are located in a lagoon.
I worked in a summer for two months at
Lido di Jesolo. From there we went naturally often to
Venice, which is one of my favorite cities. But we also had lots of baths and got so much sun. But in my spare time, I always like to discover something new. So when I heard that Grado is
located in a lagoon, I had to see the city. From Jesolo we had to travel about two hours by car in the direction of
Trieste.
The lagoon was connected about seventy years ago by a road to the mainland, so now you can easily reach the islands. Grado consists of several smaller islands, which are connected by bridges. Residents have always been the fishermen, wherever they can see their simple homes. Grado is the exact opposite of Venice. Everything is simple, but very fascinating! There is a large pedestrian area, where you can eat an unforgettable cup of ice cream. This road leads to the white sand beach, which is equipped with all the services and was
one of the first in Europe. As a result, the city is very lively in the summer.
After a walk through the city, we took a swim, and on the way back we visited the Basilica of Aquileia. He is very famous for the beautiful
Roman mosaics.
