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

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 for your trip from airport to Venice.

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.

Front 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 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.

This is a small Alilaguna to Venice. It is about a 5-minute walk from the Airport terminal to this quay.

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.

From the airport to Venice... and then
Discount for traveling by public transport - Book in advance?

The ACTV ticket machine is located at Treviso Airport, Marco Polo Airport, Mestre, and Venice!

If your hotel is in Venice or you are only there for a day, you will also walk a lot! Check my page about all transport in Venice >

In all other cases, I recommend the OV Day Card.

Such a day card is the Vaporetto Pass, a tourist travel card with which you can freely use public transport in Venice.

You can also buy this at the airport ticket machine or some other place in Venice. In the photo, you see such a machine.

In Venice it gives access to all boats (vaporetto), the tram to Mestre (the other way around, too), and most public transport buses of ACTV around Venice.

On Lido and Mestre, the Travelcard is also valid for both the bus and the vaporetto boats.

So: Unlimited use of public transport (ACTV Vaporetti and buses) in the city of Venice

**You cannot use this Vaporetto Pass (Travelcard) for the Alilaguna and the above bus services. It is also not valid on the ATVO and ACTV buses to and from the airport.

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

Treviso Airport is 35km from Venice. The airport also has ATVO shuttle buses that leave every 45 minutes. This is the cheapest option to get from the airport to Venice.

From Treviso Airport? Buy your ATVO tickets for the transfer to Venice here.

And yes, I have used this bus quite often. It is very relaxing. Air conditioning is available, and you can store a lot of luggage. So it is still a drive, but it is comfortable. Please read my article for more details about this transfer: From Treviso Airport to Venice >

ATVO Shuttle bus from Treviso

A return ticket costs €22,-. A single ticket costs €12,-. The prices include luggage. The journey takes about 75 minutes. Read the review and questions about this trip (Blog)> The buses leave from the front of Treviso Airport. You can't miss it.

Bus tickets can be purchased online via Tiqets.com, on the bus, or at the ticket machine/counter on the side of terminal 1.

Option; Rent a car. The most expensive option is to rent a car. By car from Treviso Airport to Venice is about 40 minutes. You may be able to return the rented car in Venice. Please take a quick look at my page about car rentals in Venice >

BY TAXI FROM AND TO TREVISO AIRPORT?

You can't take a boat across the water from Treviso. From Treviso Airport, I now strongly prefer to book a cheap taxi from Treviso and have it ready for me when I arrive.

This is instead of the ATVO shuttle bus. It is certainly not as expensive as you think. Especially when you know that you arrive in Venice much faster and more comfortably from airpot to Venice.

I only do this if there are at least two of us. For €70,—I am often done. I now always book the taxi with the best price via Venice-Information.Transferz.com. It is ideal, and it is cheaper! And you have a pre-agreed price. Fill in your details below and see for yourself!

The train from Treviso to Venice. What did I do my first time at Treviso Airport? Most tourists take the bus from the airport to Venice. But I took an adventurous route. The Train!

To get there, you must take the number 6 bus to Treviso train station. See the departure times for bus line 6 here. Despite this route taking 15 minutes longer in total, I deliberately chose it. I didn't want to sit in a stuffy bus. And how beautiful it is by train!!!

But watch out! Don't make the same mistake that many train passengers make. People often get off at the wrong station, 'Venezia Mestre.' Wait until the train crosses the lagoon and arrives at Venezia Santa Lucia. This is where you have to get off! Venice starts here...

From the stairs down to the quay, the vaporettos leave over the Grand Canal. The total cost of the city bus '6' and the train to arrive in Venice is approximately €15,- p.p.

Get from airport to the city of Mestre (near Venice)

Questions on my site also concern how to get from Mestre to Venice. Visitors usually stay in the nearby city of Mestre. However, a hotel outside Venice is not a bad idea because the transport connections to Venice are good.

You are not the only one. Know that everything in the Veneto region is aimed at making it as easy as possible for tourists. There are many buses everywhere or other public transport options to find your way to Venice.
