Downtown Grado, thanks to the urban renewal of the pedestrian area, is now one of the most charming lagoon destinations where tradition and elegance live side by side with a wide variety of tourist attractions. You can divide your time in Grado between relaxing at the beach and staying in shape, bathed by the sun, sustained by the salt water and rejuvenated by the iodine-rich air.

The Hotel Il Guscio is one of the hotels in Grado closest to the Sant’Eufemia basilica, the Baptistery and Santa Maria delle Grazie church. The city is a maze of intimate alleyways, scattered with local taverns and restaurants. The picturesque Porto Mandracchio and coastline offer spectacular views of the fishing boats, especially in vogue during the El Perdòn de Barbana pilgrimage.

The traditional beach facilities in Grado are equipped with changing rooms, gazebo, docks, rafts, pedal boats, swimming schools, sailboat and windsurf rentals. You can also enjoy the seaside pool at the Water Park, the various sport facilities and the Parco delle Rose entertainment center just a short distance from the hotel.

Don’t skip a daily stroll down the scenic promenade along the Dam, with a magnificent view of the gulf of Trieste, to the lighthouse on the Costa Azzurra public beach, enjoying unforgettable sunsets and breathtaking sunrises.

Bathing or strolling along Grado’s main beach is always a pleasure due to the shallow warm water and sandy bottom.
