[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here- thanks all.  I'm curious, has anyone combined a trip to the Dolomites with a beach town on the Adriatic, either in Emelia Romangna or Veneto?  It doesn't look too crazy to get to (e.g., there's a direct train between Bolzano and Bologna, from which it is a short transfer to the coast).  I've just never spent time in that part of Italy.  This would be in July, so busy I'm sure but potentially not as bad as AUgust?[/quote]

Bologna will be pretty quiet because it’s a college town and will be shut down mostly, there’s really nothing to do there but try the food. I prefer Venice to Emilia Romagna. I lived in Bologna for 2 years. There’s not a ton to do but it’s nice and good food. I wouldn’t go out of my way to visit it tbh. I would do Venice and Dolomites. It’s about 3 hours apart. I like the Dorsodomo? area of Venice. I think there’s a nice resort on an island that the would have a big pool and the kids would enjoy. Venice is iconic for a reason! do that. 
and resort feel. [/quote]

I like Dorsuduro as well, but I really like Bologna specifically because it's a vibrant college town without tourist traps.[/quote]

Same- unless you are flying in/out of Venice, I would not go there in the summer with kids.  Way too hot/crowded.  It sounds like OP was looking for more of a beach town in the vicinity of Bologna or Venice anyway.  I don't have any suggestions there but would probably just go to the lakes since they are closer to the Dolomites.  Lake Garda is beautiful and family friendly although many of the swimming "beaches" are rocky.[/quote]
