I use both airports, so read on to choose my preferred route to Venice...

2. ...From Marco Polo Airport to Venice?

Look at the map with the two airports. Marco Polo Airport (VCE) is used by larger companies, such as KLM. It is located 13 km from Venice.

I usually travel to Venice on a KLM plane. There are quite a few flights, and the prices are around €150,—per return ticket. Are you orienting yourself? Go ahead and book KLM tickets to Venice.

BY TAXI FROM AND TO THE AIRPORT?

The 'car taxi': The fastest and most comfortable solution is an airport taxi to Venice from Marco Polo Airport. You can book this in advance, and when you arrive, the taxi will be ready for you. Of course, the same applies if you want to go to the airport from home to start your journey comfortable.


Book now and start your trip well. I really enjoyed it. I use Venice-Information.Transferz.com. They have reliable taxi companies as partners and are ready to help you. You never pay more than the agreed pre-booked price for the ride. This is very handy in Italy.

Okay,,, do you also have good information about something cheaper?...

FROM AIRPORT TO VENICE BUS TRANSFER?

The cheaper way to get from the airport to Venice is by bus, and ATVO buses offer a shuttle service. Buy bus tickets online to take the ATVO Bus.

They drive from Marco Polo Airport via Mestre to Piazzale Roma every 30 minutes. The journey takes 20 minutes and costs about €18,—for a return ticket (€10,—one way). The prices include large luggage.

From Airport to Venice BusFront of the Aerobus no. 5 towards Venice

ACTV buses are just as cheap. This is the public transport company around Venice from the government. You need to take bus line no. 5 (Aerobus) towards Venice.

Please note! The buses from the airport to Venice charge a separate fee, and the online day tickets (Travelcards) do not apply there.

Please note! Taking large suitcases is not always appreciated. Then it is better to take the coach buses of ATVO (the other transport company).

A ticket for the ACTV Aerobus also costs approximately €10.00, and a return €18.00. You can buy tickets at the airport's ticket machine.

FROM THE AIRPORT TO VENICE BY BOAT?

The Alilaguna line, which is the ferry between Marco Polo Airport and Venice, is the fastest way to travel from the airport to Venice.

It's fun to go from the airport to Venice with the Alilaguna boat! It's a five-minute walk from the terminal to the quay. By the way, the route is well-indicated!

For example, the Alilaguna boat stops at Lido Island, the Rialto Bridge, and St. Mark's Square in Venice. It can be used until midnight and takes between 45 and 90 minutes to reach most destinations.

In my article about Venice Airport Transfers (coming soon), I show you five options for getting from the airport to your hotel or the center of Venice.

The water taxis leave from the same quay where the Alilaguna boats are located. A water taxi to Venice from the airport costs between €140 and €280. It's very diverse. You can also book a private water taxi to Venice in advance. You pay a similar price per group, but via Tiqets.com, you often discover many more activities.

I also shared a water taxi here from €37 per person for up to eight people and ten suitcases/bags. This (sharing) departure point is all the way to the left of the quay.

3. Buy a (day) Ticket in advance? 

You can buy advance day passes for public transport in and around Venice. Also on the vaporetto boat service in Venice. The card is called a Tourist Travel Card. Check my page about all transportation in Venice > 

The Tourist Travel Card is a day pass allowing you to use public transportation in Venice. In Venice, it gives access to all boats (vaporetto), the tram to Mestre (and vice versa), and most public transport buses from ACTV around Venice. The Tourist Travel Card is also valid on Lido and Mestre, both on the bus and the vaporetto boats.

Be aware. You will be walking a lot in Venice. Especially when your hotel is in Venice, or you will be in Venice only for one day. On the other hand, it is very convenient to have a Tourist Travel Card. 

**You cannot use the Travelcard for the Alilaguna. The Travel Card is not valid on ATVO buses and also not on the ACTV buses to and from the airport.

Tip! Use more than 3 times the Tourist Travel Card, and save on your budget!

4. From Treviso Airport to Venice 
Getting from Airport to Venice...

Read my in depth article about transfers from Treviso to Venice. Here you can read the 4 options to travel from Treviso Airport to Venice. 

In short: From the airport, in Treviso (TSF), the best is to take the ATVO shuttle buses. To take the ATVO bus from Treviso is the best option. The buses leave every 45 minutes to Venice (26 miles). The bus ride takes more than one hour to get to Venice. Buy your ATVO tickets from Treviso Airport.

And yes, I used this bus quite often. Relax though. Air conditioning and you can store much luggage. It is still a long drive but comfortable.

The only negative point of this transfer is the long journey of 75 minutes. The ATVO transfer buses are leaving in front of Treviso Airport. You can't miss it. You can buy bus tickets on the bus or at the ticket machine/counter on the side of terminal 1.
