How to reach Venice

By Plane:

• From Marco Polo airport (VCE): There are several services that run from the airport to Venice. Our suggestion is to use one of the two bus services – ACTV line 5 or line 35 ATVO VENEZIA EXPRESS – to reach Piazzale Roma, and then walk to Palazzo Moro. Alternatively, you can take a land taxi to Piazzale Roma, and then walk to Palazzo Moro.

Venice’s main train station, Venezia Santa Lucia, connects the city with numerous other Italian cities.

How to get around Venice

On foot: The best way to move around Venice is on foot – Venice is rather small and most hotspots are within walking distance.

By waterbus (vaporetto): These are passenger boats that work like traditional buses – but on water. A one-way ticket valid for 75 minutes on the entire boat public service network of routes costs €7.50. If you plan to use the waterbus a lot, a more convenient option is to buy a 24hr or 48hr or weekly ticket based on the length of your stay (more information here).
