The historical centre of the city is located at the southern end of the lagoon, on a group of islets divided by canals and connected by bridges. Unlike Venice, most of the area is accessible by car and public transport.
With the nearby Sottomarina, located in the stretch of land that divides the lagoon from the sea, and with the towns of Borgo San Giovanni and Brondolo, it forms a single urban centre, thanks to the creation of the Union Island (Isola dell’Unione) and its namesake bridge that runs across the lagoon of Lusenzo.
From Chioggia you can easily get to Venice, passing through the nearby island of Pellestrina, or you can visit nearby historic cities such as Padua, Verona and many others.
