The ancient old town of Comacchio, which is considered one of the most beautiful in the entire Po Delta Park, enchants visitors with its well-preserved historical buildings. The most famous sights include the unique Trepponti Bridge, a landmark of the town with its imposing steps, the 17th century Cathedral of San Cassiano, the elegant Palazzo Bellini and the Manifattura dei Marinati, a characteristic factory where eels are still prepared and marinated today. A highlight for tourists is a tour of the canals in the traditional "batane" boats with a flat keel. If you want to experience even more, you should explore the UNESCO World Heritage Site Valli di Comacchio . This extensive park in the Po Delta impresses with its extraordinary landscape of islands, dams and lagoons. The wetlands provide a habitat for over a thousand animal species, including pink flamingos. A hint of pink on the horizon? Use the webcam in Comacchio to see if the elegant flamingos are currently roaming the lagoon.
In addition to the cultural and natural attractions, Comacchio also offers relaxation on the seven wide, golden beaches. The 23 kilometers of sandy beaches invite you to relax and enjoy. The calm, shallow sea makes themideal for families with children; the surrounding lidos offer entertainment, events and even baby clubs for the little ones. One of these seven beaches is at Lido degli Estensi. This beach is one of the longest in Italy and is named after the Este family, who ruled Ferrara at the time. The special thing about the popular seaside resort of Lido degli Estensi are the huge pine trees that adorn the entire town.
