Nicelli - CHIUSO In Venezia

Loved the service and the location Avgas is available The grass runway is rather smooth You can take a water taxi from your hotel in Venice right to the airport, fast and convenient 👌 The lobby is beautifully decorated Also there is a nice family restaurant onsite

The interior is a true design gem – I recommend it to fans of the Italian 1920s and 1930s – Art Deco, Futurism, the cult of the machine… The map of flight connections is also fascinating – the airport was the gateway to Mussolini's Mare Nostrum empire at the time.

The airport is a gem from the glory days of aeronautics, boasting a 100-year history. The first aircraft took off here in 1915. The current exhibition is housed in a bunker in front of the actual airport, beautifully evoking the 1960s and 70s when flying was still something special. There's also a pleasant restaurant overlooking the runway. It's also a good choice in summer, as the exhibition is located in a basement.

Fantastic little grass strip, cheaper to park your plane than a car!

The Giovanni Nicelli Airport on Venice's Lido island is as beautiful as the horrific events that unfolded there are horrific. Inaugurated at the beginning of the last century, it is an architectural gem, but be warned, it was there that the architects of the greatest tragedy in contemporary history first met (between the two world wars of the 20th century). You can research this and learn more in the autumn of 2025.

The airport is excellent, both for the maintenance of the runway and the buildings, which are always very well-maintained and clean. Excellent staff service and a great restaurant (though not exactly cheap), with an unparalleled view of the runway. Landing is also available for advanced VDS. A stop after an approach with a view of Venice is recommended!

A splendid airport thanks to its enviable location and the perfectly preserved early 1900s style of the building. There's a bar where you can also eat outdoors. The staff is friendly and professional.
