Birdwatching in the Po Delta: the complete guide

The Po Delta (the Po river delta) is one of Europe's birdwatching paradises, with more than 300 recorded species including greater flamingos, herons, black-winged stilts and the emblematic woodcock.

The richest reserves are only minutes from Albergo Italia: the Sacca di Scardovari lagoon, the traditional fishing lagoons and the levee paths along the river all offer excellent vantage points at dawn and at dusk.

We recommend binoculars, neutral-coloured clothing and a guided boat trip, so you can get close to the wildlife without disturbing it.
