Overview
Lignano Sabbiadoro is a major Adriatic beach resort in northeastern Italy, drawing crowds of Austrians, Germans, Swiss, and Italians each summer. The town sprawls across a peninsula with three distinct zones: the quiet residential Riviera to the west, the nightlife-heavy Pineta in the center, and the historic Sabbiadoro to the east with the best beaches and promenade.
