Sunday 18th June 2017 marks the 18th edition of the world famous Palio Remiero delle Contrade of Cavallino-Treporti.

The challenge is simple: The market traders of Sant’Erasmo, Cavallino and Vignole will row their boats in a race to the Rialto market, hoping to be the first there to serve their fresh produce first to get the best position and sales possible!



This traditional race is ran every year and attracts thousands to the area, taking photos of the brightly coloured boats as they race towards the finish line.

The 23D bus running from Lido di Jesolo to Punta Sabbioni now includes information on the ferries heading to the islands of Burano, Murano and Torcello. The islands, which were used to name some of the Bolero Holidays accommodation at Union Lido, offer a unique view of Italian life, with Burano offering multicoloured homes, set amongst quiet canals, where historical lace making still stands as one of proudest exports of this truly magnificient island.

Visit Murano where you’ll find the worlds best glass blown items, some on display, others available to purchase. Finally Torcello, the smallest of the three islands boasts the oldest church in the region, along with a peaceful garden walk, cafe and ancient stone seat many have used to propose marriage, or grab a quick selfie!

Union Lido has been awarded with the 2017 ADAC prize for the Best Campsite in Italy. ADAC is a German automobile club, which was founded in 1903 and not only provides information on the best places to visit around Europe, they also provide 44 air ambulance helicopters for urgent medical rescues in Germany.



Having over 18 million members, including 1.5 million motorcyclists, making it the largest motorbike association in the world, the prestigious award certifies Union Lido’s standing as the Best Campsite in Italy, and possibly Europe! (We may be a little bias!)
