Your ultimate water bus adventure

Begin your Venetian experience as soon as you arrive at Marco Polo Airport with a direct transfer by water bus to Venice city center, taking less than 2 hours. If you miss your initial ride, no worries—you can catch the next one every 30 to 60 minutes. Choose from three scenic lines that offer views of famous landmarks like St. Mark's Square and the picturesque Rialto area.

Multiple ways to explore Venice

Venice is best navigated by vaporettos (water buses), stylish water taxis, or traditional gondolas for a romantic touch. Wander through charming alleys on foot or take a traghetto across the canals. For travel beyond the lagoon, use buses and trains to reach the mainland, while bike rentals are available in Lido. Although taxis exist, boats remain Venice's primary mode of transport.
