Venice from the airport to the center. Venice on a budget

This review is dedicated to Venice public transport in all its manifestations - vaporetto, buses, traghetto, water taxi, gondolas; several methods are also considered how to get from Marco Polo airport to the center of Venice.

How to get from Venice airport to the city center

Venice Marco Polo Airport is located on the shores of the lagoon, 8 km from the city. There are several ways to get from there to Venice:

Venice, from the airport to the city center, the first way: on the yellow city bus 5 of the ACTV network (this abbreviation stands for public transport Venice, which includes vaporetto water buses and buses running on the island of Lido and on the mainland of Venice - Mestre) which goes to the bus station in Piazzale Roma, located near the Santa Lucia railway station (to the south, on opposite bank of the canal) is the last point that can be reached by wheeled transport, then only by boat or on foot. The exception in this case is wheeled taxis (point 4), which can travel a little further than Piazzale Roma - right up to the San Basilio vaporetto stop. Travel time is about half an hour, it will cost a few euros. At the same time as purchasing a bus ticket, it makes sense to purchase a ticket for the vaporetto - if you plan to travel further on it (for example, to your hotel on the Lido) - there may be an impressive queue at Piazzale Roma for these tickets. By the way, it might be worth purchasing a 24 or 72 hour vaporetto pass right away. If you purchase a single vaporetto ticket, you will not have to pay the bus fare.

Venice, from the airport to the city center, the second way: The blue Venezia Diretto express bus, which also goes to Piazzale Roma, takes about 20 minutes. He walks once every half hour; You can take the same bus to Mestre.

Venice, from the airport to the city center, third way: The Alilaguna boat, which departs twice every hour, takes you to the piazza or the Zattere promenade in 50 minutes. Tickets for this type of transport cannot be combined with tickets for the vaporetto.

Venice, from the airport to the city center, the fourth way: Water taxi (I haven’t used it myself, because it’s expensive and unsportsmanlike, but I’ll mention it anyway). This type of transport for insane amounts of money (about one hundred euros) will take from one to four people anywhere within the Venetian lagoon. If there are more than four of you, then this is also not a problem - it will just be even more expensive. At the same point you can also note the usual wheeled taxi, which for about 40 euros will take anyone to the same place as the bus - in Piazzale Roma. The option with a wheeled taxi makes sense if you arrive late at night (flights of all low-cost airlines usually arrive at this time), when buses no longer run. If you are traveling with a group and, for example, you have a long layover at Venice airport - that is, you want to see the city, but time is extremely limited - it makes sense to take a water taxi, this is really the fastest way to get to. If you have enough time, but not much money, then I would recommend taking the bus first and then taking the vaporetto.

How to get to the center of Venice from Santa Lucia train station

The Santa Lucia railway station is located in the northwestern part of the city, right on the banks of the Grand Canal. From here, the smartest way to get to your hotel is by vaporetto. After exiting the station building, on the left hand side there will be a ticket office for vaporetto, N82, N3, N4, as well as a taxi. On the right is the N1 vaporetto, which goes along the Grand Canal with all the stops (this is practically an excursion), as well as N41, N42, N51, N52. A water taxi from Piazzale Roma or the train station to the hotel in /San Polo/Santa Croce during the day will cost about 50 euros. Personally, I always get to the hotel like this: upon arrival from other cities in Italy by train to the Santa Lucia railway station, I buy single ticket by vaporetto for 72 hours and then take the vaporetto route N1 to my hotel on the Lido. The voyage takes about an hour, during which time the ship crosses almost the entirety of Venice - such a walk can be perceived as a ritual greeting to the city.

How to get to the center of Venice from the bus station

All intercity buses arrive in Venice on Piazzale Roma. Upon arrival, you should find a building with the inscription “Generali” on the roof - there is a ticket office, a storage room and access to the piers. Next, you should purchase a vaporetto ticket and take it to any point of interest in Venice.

Venice public transport

Venice public transport: vaporetto

The public transport network is called ACTV and includes vaporetto waterbuses and buses serving the Lido and Mestre. In my opinion, if your hotel is located in Venice itself (not on the islands) and the main goal is a thoughtful and leisurely inspection of Venetian masterpieces, then with proper planning of the route you can completely do without using the vaporetto (except for trips to the islands of Giudecca, Lido and other islands of the Venetian lagoons) - in almost all cases it is faster to travel around Venice on foot.

Vaporetto routes change frequently, so it is not advisable to use old maps - only the “excursion” route N1 remains unchanged. The schedules posted at stops can be trusted (if there are deviations, they are usually at night).

Venice public transport: buses
In Venice itself, this type of transport is not available, but it can be useful if you live on the Lido far from the pier - buses are very convenient to get to the beaches there. Vaporetto passes for 24 and 72 hours are also valid for city buses; Tickets are not sold on the buses themselves.

Venice public transport: gondolas
Once they were the main means of transportation around the city, but now they are used only as a tourist attraction.

The price, although guaranteed by some kind of “gondolier cooperative,” in practice directly depends on the impudence of the gondolier and your ability to bargain (although, in Venice, spoiled by tourists, this skill is practically useless) - in any case, the price must be clearly stated before the start of the walk. In addition, prices rise sharply after eight in the evening.

The gondola seats six passengers, the price is per gondola, not per person. It is also worth keeping in mind that you choose the route of the trip, not the gondolier - he is only the driver/guide/singer of the Venetian barcarolles. That is, if you want to inspect some small canals from the water, where other watercraft do not sail, a gondola will be the only option, albeit an expensive one. In all other cases, its use is not financially justified (the exception is the case when you need to impress a girl).

Venice city transport: traghetto
If you don’t have extra money for gondola rides, then you still have a chance to ride one for a reasonable price. Along the Grand Canal, there are crossings (traghetti) in eight places - usually their pier is indicated by a large green sign, and their locations are highlighted on city maps with a dotted line. Traghetto is a very practical and inexpensive (about one euro) vehicle, but it also has a drawback: it functions only in the warm season.

Traghetto is, in principle, the same gondola, and according to tradition, during the crossing you should stand in it, but if passengers are sitting, they can be unmistakably identified as tourists.

Venice city transport: water taxi
Also, oddly enough, Venetian transport is practical and inexpensive (especially if the fee is divided between two or more passengers). But in order to save money, you should follow some rules: insist on traveling according to the meter and do not “be fooled” by offers from all sorts of shady personalities to “ride with the breeze.”

You can board a water taxi either at one of the parking lots in front of Rialto, or take it after the previous passengers have disembarked, or order it by phone. Taxis are not allowed to pick up at vaporetto stops, so when ordering you will need to call the exact address, where to go: name of the hotel or restaurant.

For a trip within the city center, you can estimate the amount to be 30-35 euros, a little more expensive at night.

In addition, water taxis have fixed rates for trips to the Lagoon islands or to the airport; in some cases (large group, many suitcases) their use makes sense.

Well, at the end of the article, I can’t help but mention this way of arriving in Venice: simply driving into it by car (your own or a rented one). In my opinion, this method is akin to outright madness: in the city itself, you basically won’t need a car, so it’s best to leave your car in the parking lot in Mestre, and from there get to Venice in 15 minutes by bus or train. If for some reason you end up in Venice with your car, there are several options left: either leave it in the parking lot in Piazzale Roma (significantly more expensive than in Mestre) or take the ferry (line 17) from the neighboring island Tronchetto to Lido and either leave the car there or use it to continue to Chioggia, Ferrara and Ravenna.

Life hack: how I save on hotels and insurance

In addition to traditional and well-known tools - such as Booking or Hotellook, new online services have recently appeared that make the life of a traveler much easier and pleasantly protect the thickness of his wallet. One of them - Roomguru– I use it myself all the time and recommend it to all my friends and acquaintances. This service compares prices for an object in 30 booking systems at once and offers you the most interesting options. In addition, it tracks discounts and special offers.

As for a good working travel insurance, then it was not easy to find it before, but now it has become even more difficult due to the constant jumps in the exchange rate of the ruble against world currencies. For the last few years, I have been purchasing insurance for my travels through an online service - here you can compare the products of different insurers and choose what suits you best:

A standard ticket for one trip will cost 7.5 euros. It is valid for all routes (except 16, 19 and Alilaguna) for 75 minutes after activation (passage). During this period, you can make transfers, return back, etc.

If your plans are to stay in Venice longer, it is better to immediately purchase so-called tourist tickets transport cards, in other words, passes for several days. Then staying on the islands and moving around them will cost much less. The card can be purchased for 1, 2, 3 days or a week; it costs 20, 30, 40 and 60 euros respectively and includes travel not only on water trams, but also on regular buses.

Important: The daily ticket is valid for exactly 24 hours from the moment it is first composted. For example, you punched your ticket on September 10 at 09:00, which means you can use vaporetto until 9 am on September 11 without restrictions.

The most attractively priced option is a 3-day ticket for 28 euros, but it is only available to children and youth from 6 to 29 years old. A prerequisite for purchasing such a ticket is having a Rolling Venice card. It, in turn, costs 6 euros, but additional discounts are available for it in shopping centers and museums of Venice.

Children under 6 years old use vaporetto for free. Travel is also free for disabled people using wheelchairs and accompanying persons. For the stroller itself you will have to pay 1.5 euros.

Important: the above is true for all routes except 16, 19 and Alilaguna. There is a boat service to and from the latter. Route 16 directly connects Fusina (Fusina, camping in, on the mainland of Venice) and the pier of the Zattere promenade (Fondamenta delle Zattere), along route 19 ships go from San Marco to the island of Chioggia.

How and where to buy

Tickets are sold at the piers, in vending machines and ACTV ticket offices, as well as in tobacco and newsagents. A ticket can also be purchased on board (including if there is no ticket office or machine at the pier) - but only one-time, for one trip. In most cases, you can pay not only in cash, but also by credit card.

To save time, we advise you to plan your stay in Venice and book your ticket in advance online.

After booking, you will be sent a QR and PNR code immediately upon arrival at the station Santa Maria Lucia, you don’t go to the queue at the ticket office, but to the machine on the pier, here’s a dot on the map. There you enter your code and receive a ticket. The ticket can be activated any day. Luggage is included in the price.

Children under 6 years old travel free of charge.

For example, you bought a 48-hour ticket in advance and activated it on October 10 at 11:00 - it will be valid until October 12 at 10:59. The overpayment for such a booking and saving time is only 3 euros.

By the way, the residents of Venice themselves pay much less for using the river trams, but you can purchase tickets at discounted prices only by presenting the appropriate document.

It is necessary to purchase tickets. Their presence is checked regularly, the fines are very high: you will have to pay not only travel, but also an administrative penalty in the amount of 60 euros. It is allowed to carry a folded baby stroller, one piece of luggage of standard dimensions (no more than 150 cm in total dimensions), as well as hand luggage in the amount of two items (no longer than 120 cm). Anything above is paid additionally.

The purchased ticket must be activated by touching it to the validator and holding it until the beep sounds. This must be done at each berth; If you do not activate your ticket upon boarding, you may be fined. You must keep your ticket until the end of your trip. There is no need to present the ticket to the sailor upon entering the ship.

Boarding is carried out only after all passengers have disembarked; Until this moment, access to the landing zone is strictly prohibited. You must strictly follow the sailor's instructions. For passengers with limited mobility, special retractable platforms are provided to help them get on board.

The best viewing positions are at the bow or stern. There are few of them, so it is better to take the water bus at the original stops, so you will have a better chance of getting the desired seat. Don’t forget that on a vaporetto, only the seats in the cabin are completely protected from wind and rain. If you are sitting on open places, only the roof protects you from bad weather, and not always.

Not all vaporetto stations have toilets; They can be equipped on ships that sail long routes.

Vaporetto is not a tourist water bus, but a regular form of public transport, so during rush hours it is maximally filled with seated and standing passengers. Keep this in mind and prepare to leave in advance so as not to miss the required stop.

Smoking is prohibited not only on the vaporetto, but also on the landing stage.

Carefully monitor what is happening around you, do not keep valuables and money in sight and in easily accessible places: in Venice, as in any popular tourist city there are pickpockets.

Hello friends. In this article I will tell you how to get from Venice airport to the city center. The city of Venice is located on the Italian mainland and on 118 islands of the Venetian Lagoon, large and very tiny. The nearest airport is on the mainland 12 km from Venice, in the town of Tessera. From here you will get to the beauties of the famous city.

Venice Marco Polo International Airport (Aeroporto di Venezia Marco Polo) is one of the largest in Italy. Opened in 2002, it accepts international and low-cost companies. This is a modern, convenient, well-thought-out airport from which it is easy and simple to get to Venice or neighboring cities. Located on the mainland in the town of Tessera, 12 km from Venice.

In 1926, the city of Venice, located on the islands, was merged with the city of Mestre on the mainland. And now Venice consists of the mainland and historical (island) Venice, which all travelers strive to get to. The city is administrative center province of Veneto.
On the island of Venice, water transport runs and in some places cars drive. The main way to get around the island is on foot, by bicycle and by vaporetto.

Find your ticket to Venice

There are several ways to get from the airport to Venice:

By bus
By water transport
Taxi

Now I will tell you about each type of transport in more detail.

Airbus

ATVO shuttles run from the airport to Venice - blue buses (airbuses). This is not express, because... The airbus makes stops. The final station of the route is Piazzale Roma.

Shuttles run every 20 minutes. Travel time is 20-25 minutes.

The first bus leaves the airport at 5:20 am and ends at 0:50 am.
From Venice, the first bus to the airport leaves at 4:20 am, the last at 23:30.

The cost of travel:

1 ticket one way – 8 euros, round trip 15 euros.

Don't forget to validate your tickets in the yellow machines next to the sales kiosks!

Bus

ACTV bus number 5 from the airport runs to Venice every 15 minutes. The final stop is Piazzale Roma. Travel time is 20-25 minutes.

From the airport, the first bus leaves at 4:08 am and ends at 1:10 am.
From Venice, the first bus to the airport leaves at 4:35 am, the last at 0:40.

The cost of travel:

1 one-way ticket – 8 euros (valid for 75 minutes from the start of validity, i.e. from the moment you validate the ticket),
Round trip 15 euros (valid for 75 minutes for each side).
There is a combined ticket: bus + vaporetto. Cost 14 euros. Valid for 90 minutes.

The difference between the ATVO shuttle and the ACTV buses is that the shuttle is blue and the buses are orange.

Water transport (vaporetto)

In my opinion, this is the most interesting and exotic way to get to Venice from the airport. We are used to taking buses and taxis, and it’s not often that we have the opportunity to take advantage of by water transport. If only you specifically want to go on pleasure boats or cruise ships.

And here, in Venice, such a case presents itself! Vaporetto are the famous Venetian boats that operate as buses to and around the city. The vaporetto has several routes, so you can get there from the airport and explore the city from the water along the way.

But there are several small disadvantages of this method:

The cost of a trip from the airport to Venice is 15 euros one way and 27 euros round trip. But, if you buy a ticket online, the price will be cheaper by 1 and 2 euros, respectively.

The trip to the final station will take approximately 1.5 hours. Although, on one of the routes the trip takes 4 hours. Besides, local residents also use this transport and the boat can be overcrowded. Therefore, it is worth weighing the pros and cons before choosing this option.

We would advise you to first get to the hotel by bus, take a break from the flight, and then buy a pass for public transport for 1, 2 or 3 days and calmly ride around Venice and the islands on the vaporetto.

How to save money on Venice public transport tickets with us.

However, I’m talking about 4 vaporetto routes Alilaguna company from the air port to Venice:

Blue line: passes through the islands, Lido, San Marco, Giudecca, last stop Santa Lucia railway station.
Arancio line: the boat runs along the Rialto Bridge, the last stop is the Church of Santa Maria del Giglio.
Line Rossa: goes around the island of Murano, Lido, Piazza San Marco, the last stop is the Zattere promenade (Giudecca island). This route is closed from November 4 to March 30.
Verde line: this walking route with audio guide in Italian, English, Spanish and French. Includes the islands of St. Elena, Lido, Murano, Burano, Torcello. The boat makes stops on the islands for inspection. The duration of the route is 4 hours. Price 20 euros.

If you decide to choose a walking route, then it is worth considering that during the day in Italy it is siesta, and shops are closed at this time, so you may not be able to buy souvenirs on the islands.

Vaporetto tickets are sold at the airport at public transport ticket offices (in the same place as tickets for bus No. 5), in vending machines, at ticket offices on the pier, and on board the vaporetto.

How to find the pier: leave the departure area, turn left and follow the signs to the pier, about 400 meters.

Please note that these vaporetto lines are only from the airport to the city. Venice itself has its own (other) vaporetto routes around the city.

Private water taxi

A very fast and expensive way to get to Venice. It is worth using it if your hotel is located in the center of Venice or has a pier.

The cost of travel from the airport depends on the carrier and its conditions. There are 4-5 private companies operating from the airport. On average it is 100-120 euros for 5 people. There is a condition of 40 euros per person.

Contacts of carriers are on the airport website.

You can take a water taxi even cheaper if you use the transfer service of the kiwitaxi company. The trip will cost 126 euros for everyone. Book online, payment upon booking is 15% of the cost. You pay the rest on the spot. Russian language service support will make sure that you get into your taxi without any problems and get to your place with ease.

Taxi

Of course this is the most convenient and comfortable option. And at night it’s the only one like that.

A taxi to Roman Square will cost you 40 euros. Cheaper than by boat, by the way. The taxi rank is located immediately outside the arrivals hall.

Or use transfer.

Those planning a trip to Venice by car naturally have questions: where to leave the car and how much parking will cost. We will soon write a separate article for you with all the appearances and passwords.

As you can see, getting from Marco Polo Airport to the center of Venice is not difficult at all. You just need to choose one of the above methods.

Tips for organizing your trip

Venice is a particularly attractive city that leaves no one indifferent. You may like it (this happens most often) or not like it (in this case they usually refer to the unpleasant smell in the city, although in our experience we did not smell anything supernatural), but, of course, it is remembered. Millions of tourists flock to Venice every year, including thousands independent travelers From Russia.

Cheap flights from Antananarivo to Umea are here

So, to Venice on your own - how is it, where to start and what to pay attention to when organizing a trip?

What's the best way to get to Venice?

There are at least two main options to consider.

The first one is air travel . From Russia to Venice you can fly directly, for example, by Aeroflot (flies to Marco Polo Airport, Aeroporto di Venezia Marco Polo) or Pobeda (flies to Treviso Airport, Aeroporto di Treviso Antonio Canova). In addition, many air carriers operate flights with transfers in other cities. You can search for flight options and compare prices in the corresponding section of i-Italia.ru - “Flights to Venice”, as well as on such well-known and proven sites as www.aviasales.ru, www.skyscanner.ru and www.momondo. ru. Read more about the features of air travel between Italy and Russia in the article “To Italy by plane.”

The second option to get to Venice is train . You can consider the Moscow-Nice train, which goes through Verona (from Verona to Venice is about an hour's ride by high speed train). This is certainly not the fastest and cheap way, but, nevertheless, quite convenient and in demand. However, more about railway transport from Russia to Italy is written here - we will not repeat it.

You can, of course, find other options, for example, combining different kinds transport. For example, you can fly to Vienna (or Bratislava), and from Vienna to Venice by train (you can save a lot of money by purchasing train tickets in advance). In short, there is a lot of room for imagination.

Where and how to book a hotel in Venice?

You can book a hotel in Venice, just like buy a plane ticket, on your own. There are no obstacles to this and, no matter what booking site you use, the procedure is very simple (this topic is covered in more detail here). The question of choice seems much more difficult, since there are, to put it mildly, a lot of hotels in Venice. In this matter, it is worth starting with the fact that modern Venice is divided into two parts: island and mainland. From the point of view of attractions, the island part is of key interest. But hotels here are more expensive than on the mainland. Thus, in order to save money, it is better to live on the mainland; fortunately, the island part of the city is easily accessible from here by train or bus (10–15 minutes). You can search for hotels and compare prices of booking systems here. Also take a look at our tips for choosing hotels in Venice. Detailed information about hotel search tools and the process self-booking hotels (not only in Venice, but also in other cities of Italy) is presented in the “Hotels in Italy” section.

Visa issue

When talking about trips to Venice, Italy or Europe in general, it is impossible to ignore the visa issue. At the same time, there is no purely Venetian specificity in this sense. Therefore, we will not dwell here separately on the consideration of visa procedures. Detailed information on this aspect of independent travel is presented in the article “How to get a visa to Italy on your own.”

Cultural program: excursions, routes, etc.

If you are traveling to independent travel, then all entertainment program you'll have to think it through on your own. There can be no ready-made recipes here, because, as they say, to each his own. However, i-Italia.ru has some useful information on this matter. Firstly, you can contact detailed description excursion route along the Grand Canal. Secondly, additional food for thought can be found in the articles “Travel routes from Venice” and “Beaches of Venice”. And finally, thirdly, you can look for private tour guides. For this purpose, it makes sense to look at the website tripster.ru, which allows you not only to find suitable excursions, but also to book them online.

These are, perhaps, the main points of the organization independent trips to Venice.

We hope this information comes in handy as you plan your own solo trip.

How to get to Venice?

Where is Antananarivo?

Not from Marco Polo Airport, but from hometown or, for example, Milan or Rome? For information on how to get to Venice by train, bus or car, see the Eurotraveler.ru article.

How to get there by plane

The airplane was and remains the simplest and in a fast way arrival in Venice: the flight from Moscow is only 3-3.5 hours. However, Marco Polo Airport is located on the continent, and from there you still have to get to the City on the Water itself. Read about how to do this here!

Exists convenient option for those who arrive at night, when public transport is fast asleep, or can afford to relax a little on vacation. It’s actually convenient to order a transfer from the airport to Venice - you sit, look around, little by little you realize that you have arrived in an incredibly beautiful, fantastic place!

Note that a taxi can bring passengers to Tronchetto. But we recommend choosing Piazzale Roma as your destination - a much busier (even at night) place where all the main routes of the Venetian water bus, the vaporetto, converge. Including No. 1, 2 and night (N)

You can get to the center (Piazza San Marco) by No. 1 (long) and 2 (fast) - through the Giudecca or the Grand Canal. Read more about how not to get lost in Venice and see as many attractions as possible.

Well-known low-cost carriers (Ryanair, Transavia, since February 2018, and the Russian Pobeda) use Canova Airport in the city of Treviso - it is located 30 km north of Venice. Next, take the ATVO bus to Piazzale Roma (next to Santa Lucia Station) or Barzi Service to the ferry terminal, Tronchetto. The trip lasts 20-30 minutes.

You can also get from Canova Airport to the same Piazzale Roma using a pre-ordered transfer. Surprisingly, not much more expensive than in the case of Marco Polo!

How to get to Venice by train

Direct international trains There are not many arriving at Venice's main station, Santa Lucia. For example, there is a train from Munich, which takes about 7 hours on the way. From other cities in Germany you will have to transfer.

Will require a transplant or two railway travel to Venice from Nice, Dijon, Paris, Lyon, Dutch Amsterdam or Swiss Bern

The trip from London will last about 13-14 hours, and the tourist will change trains twice (in Paris and Turin).

If you select any one as a departure point Italian city, there will be significantly less hassle. From Rome (Termini Station) the fast Frecciarossa will reach Santa Lucia in 3 hours 45 minutes (from 86 euros). Intercity will spend 2 hours more on the road, but it will also cost less (56 €). Selection of tickets: www.trenitalia.com/tcom-en.

A direct trip from Milan will take 2 hours 25 minutes (45 €), from Turin - 3 hours 40 minutes (70 €)

The closest airport in Venice is Marco Polo Airport. However, tourists coming to Venice have an alternative, namely Treviso Airport. Although the first one serves more tourists, taking into account the worldwide popularity of Venice, an alternative such as Treviso Airport is a big plus.

Besides, transportation from the airport absolutely reliable. Honestly speaking, with these Vehicle you can travel from any airport in Venice and Mestre (from where you can use other means of transport) to your destination.

Transportation from Marco Polo Airport to Venice

By water taxi

Most taxi companies in Venice provide airport transfer services. It is likely that a water taxi costs much more than public transport, but it guarantees fast travel. In addition, tourists can enjoy the benefits of a personal trip, not to mention the luxury of it.

Treviso Airport

Since the distance between Treviso and Venice is longer than between Venice and Marco Polo, tourists, and especially poor travelers, should pay attention to this commercial airport. The airport cooperates with low-cost airlines such as Ryanair, Wizz Air, Belle Air, German Wings and Transavia, and despite its significantly small landing strip, the airport has flights to Amsterdam, Bucharest, Casablanca, Dublin and Barcelona.

The airport is not as equipped as Marco Polo, but still offers passengers basic services and facilities (there are shops, restaurants, car rentals, etc.). All services for people with disabilities are also provided. limited mobility, so Treviso is a worthy alternative to Marco Polo (not to mention the fact that the airport is the gateway to the world of travel along the Venetian coasts such as Jesolo, Bibione, Caorle and Eraclea Mare).

How to get to Venice

Venice is on an island. It is connected to the mainland by an embankment built by Benito Mussolini. This dam ends in a small area called Piazzale Roma(translated from Italian as Piazza Roma). Buses and taxis come there.
Before this, it was only possible to get there by water.

By car:

At the entrance to Venice, you can park your car in the area Piazzale Roma, or in a huge parking lot" Tronchetto", which is located on the outskirts. To be honest, I have never gone there by car, because even the Italians themselves say that it is difficult to find a parking space and it is not very cheap.

Covered parking " Garage San Marco", which is located on Piazzale Roma, where you get by driving along the dam from the mainland, costs 32 € (30 € when ordering on-line).

Multi-level parking " Tronchetto", which is located on an artificial island Tronchetto:
- Number of parking spaces: 3957
- Price:
1 hour -3€
2 hours - 6€
3 hours - 11€
4 hours - 16€
5 hours or more - daily rate -21€ per day
From Tronchetto Piazzale Roma 1 km on foot or by PeopleMoover cable train for another 1.5 euros.

When the translator came to Venice with local Italians from Vicenza, they drove by car to the railway station " Castelfranco Veneto", we parked there, and then drove 50 minutes by train.

By bus:

From almost any hotel on the mainland from nearby towns Mestre And Marghera you can get there by bus. Travel time is from 10 to 30 minutes. Ticket price 1.30€. Buses arrive at Piazzale Roma. They run from early morning until about 11 p.m. There are also night buses, but only on some routes. Please note: tickets are sold at Tabaccheria(translated from Italian: tobacco kiosk) or at Giornalaio(in Russian: newsstand), which are closed on Sundays. Therefore, buy your tickets in advance, on Saturday. Sometimes there are controllers.

By train (Ferrovia in Italian):

From Milan, Verona, Vicenza, Brescia, Bergamo, Padua, Mestre you can take a train that comes directly to the island Venice at Central station Santa Lucia. This end station, then - water. The tracks are laid along a causeway connecting Venice to the mainland.

On water:

On the mainland, for example from Venice Airport Marco Polo you can call a water taxi and go anywhere (but it’s not cheap, 150-200 euros, although such a taxi can fit 10 people). Ferries go to Venice ( Vaporetto in Italian) from the resort Jesolo.
