Venice Airport & Travel

From Marco Polo Airport

This page covers the main ways to get to Venice from Marco Polo (Venice) airport and vice versa.

Please note: the vaporetto waterbus that you use in venice itself, does not go to the airport so you will need to use one of the following options

AIRPORT TRAVEL OPTIONS

Express Bus, Alilaguna Boat, Shared or Private Water Taxi

WATER TAXI

By far the most convenient way to travel to Venice is by water taxi. Although more expensive than other options, gliding across the water into La Serenissima is an experience you will not forget. It’s also a lot quicker than the other options and can land you at or near your hotel (depending on the hotel and the tides).

A shared water taxi is a more pocket-friendly alternative.

ALILAGUNA BOAT

The Alilaguna boat is the most popular transport option, taking about an hour from the airport into central Venice.

We include route maps and information on the Alilaguna page.

The boats take about an hour to reach central Venice locations.

There are three Alilaguna lines from Marco Polo Airport to Venice: Blue, Orange and Red (a seasonal line). For more information view the timetables link below each line (listed below).

EXPRESS BUS

For those staying near Piazzale Roma or who wish for the cheapest option, the express bus delivers you from the airport to Piazzale Roma in about 20 minutes from where you can take a vaporetto to your chosen stop.

Once at Piazzale Roma, you can choose your waterbus to the stop nearest to where you are staying, or walk from the bus stop to your nearby hotel.
