Check the route to the Lido's southern tip. The Oasi Dune degli Alberoni is a WWF protected area, so access is restricted to designated paths.
16:23
Grab a coffee or a light snack in the Lido neighborhood before heading to the reserve. There are no food shops inside the oasis itself.
16:43
Enter the Oasi Dune degli Alberoni. Walk slowly along the boardwalks through the dunes and pine forest. The air is still and the sounds of the city fade away.
16:53
Find a spot on the beach or the edge of the dunes facing west. Watch the sun dip below the horizon, painting the sky in shades of orange and purple. The wetlands reflect the fading light.
17:13
Stay for the blue hour. The light softens and the stars begin to appear. Enjoy the quiet before heading back.
Local tip
The reserve is open during daylight hours. Check opening times for the specific entrance you plan to use, as they can vary by season. Wear comfortable shoes for the boardwalks.
