Venice Film Festival
The Lido becomes an international centre for cinema, with screenings, red carpets and an atmosphere unlike any other time of year.
The Venice International Film Festival takes place on the Venice Lido and is organised by La Biennale. Even without attending the most exclusive events, the festival period is an interesting time to experience the Lido in a very different mood.
Where it takes place
The heart of the festival is around the Palazzo del Cinema and the Biennale venues on the Lido.
Tickets and programme
Films, screening times, accreditation and access arrangements change with every edition. For reliable information, always refer to the official Biennale programme.
Combine cinema and the Lido
Turn the day into a complete itinerary: the Festival, a walk along the seafront, the Murazzi and, weather permitting, some time at the beach.
Marghera Venice Apartments tip
On the most important days, allow extra time for transport and book in advance anything that requires a ticket.
Official information
Dates, programmes, fares and conditions may change. For variable information, always check the official source before your visit.
