PORTO GARIBALDI
44°40.57' N – 12°15.02' E
Porto Garibaldi, originally a fishing village, and then a little town grown up around the port, was the first beach resort on this coast. Still today its tourist port is one of the busiest in the province. There are regular Boat Trips: spend a day on these substantial and welcoming vessels in the company of guides who are experts in the most impressive river delta in Italy, searching out its most atmospheric corners.
Another way to experience the sea at any time of year is to go Sport Fishing in the teeming waters of the Adriatic. Trips are available by day or by night.
The port is also the end of a long canal that runs inland as far as Ferrara.
