Venice - Marco Polo Airport Transporation Options
How to Get To Venice from Marco Polo Airport

By James Martin, About.com

Dec 26 2006

There are many ways to get from Venice's Marco Polo Airport to the city of Venice.

Public Transortation

ATVO Fly Bus - The Fly bus will take you to Venice (Piazzale Roma). The price at the time of writing was 3 Euros (timetable)--A bus is also available to Mestre.

City Bus number 5 takes you to Venice, number 15 to Mestre. An inexpensive option, but you probably don't want to use it when you have a lot of luggage. Like most local busses in Italy, buy a ticket at a tabacchi (tobacco store) or newsstand. There is one at the airport.

Alilaguna offers many connections via boat between Venice and the Airport for 6 to 15 Euros. You'll need to take the free shuttle to the landing. (map of routes) (timetable) (prices)

If you are coming into Marco Polo Airport and using public transportation to get from the airport to the city, you might consider a Venice Card. The Venice Card Blu gives you a pass on public transportation and toilets for the number of days you choose (1, 3, or 7 days). A card purchased online for 7 days, including transport to Marco Polo Airport, costs around 70 Euros. The Orange card offers the same privileges plus free Museum tickets for a few Euros more.
