Venice Marco Polo Airport | Italy Heaven Tourist Guide Venice Marco Polo Airport Marco Polo Airport is Venice's official airport, and is just a few miles from the city. Venice Marco Polo Airport International flights to Venice usually land at Marco Polo Airport, 8 miles from Venice (Aeroporto di Venezia Marco Polo; IATA code VCE). Easyjet operate budget flights to the airport from the UK, and British Airways also fly there, with prices which can sometimes compete with the low-cost airlines. Ryanair fly to Treviso Airport , further away. Flight time from London is around an hour and forty minutes. The airport is modern, busy and fairly efficient. Transport into Venice is straightforward, although services stop at night. You should think about your travel plans in advance, as travel within Venice can be time-consuming, and the location of your hotel will determine your best route from the airport. Travel from Marco Polo Airport into Venice Public boats and water taxis A water taxi is by far the most romantic and glamorous way to arrive in Venice - especially if your hotel is one of the grander ones and has a water entrance. Unsurprisingly, this is a very expensive option, likely to cost from ï¿½110.

There is a desk at the airport run by the Consorzio Motoscafi Venezia where you can organise a water taxi. A cheaper way to arrive in Venice by boat is to take a public ferry. A ferry service called Alilaguna runs waterbuses (motoscafi) across the lagoon to a number of the major ferry stops in Venice, including San Marco (for the St. Mark's area), Zattere and Arsenale as well as the Lido and Murano. Check with your hotel to make sure you get off at the nearest stop to your accommodation: it's very tiring to drag cases around Venice's alleys and over bridges. If your hotel is in an outlying location, such as the Lido , an Alilaguna ferry may be your most efficient means of transport. Alilaguna run several different routes, distinguished by colour, so make sure you catch the best one for your destination. A one-way ticket costs ï¿½15 and a return is ï¿½25 (see our transport page for more information on travel once you get to Venice). It takes several minutes to walk (following the signs) to the ferry stops on the lagoon shore.

Tickets for the ferries can be bought at desks in the arrivals hall and also by the jetty. Bus services into Venice The cheapest transport from the airport into Venice is by bus, and there are two options which link Marco Polo Airport with Piazzale Roma (this is as far into Venice as you can get with land transport). Piazzale Roma is in the corner of Venice alongside the lagoon's road-bridge. Unless you are staying nearby, you will then need to use Venice's public boat services to continue your journey - this is why the Alilaguna ferry from the airport is often a quicker option. Buses depart from a row of stops opposite the exits to the airport building; there are electronic departures boards. An express coach service is run by a company called ATVO - the line is number 35, but it's clearly labelled for Venice (Venezia). It runs directly to Piazzale Roma, takes 20 minutes, and costs ï¿½5. Details and timetables for the buses are available on the airport and ATVO websites (see links panel on the right).

They run approximately every half-hour, and the last departure from the airport is at 12:20am. A local urban bus service, the number 5, also links the airport with Piazzale Roma. This is run by ACTV, is usually a low-slung orange or blue bus, and is the cheapest option, costing ï¿½2.50. It stops en route, but is still reasonably quick, with a scheduled journey time of 25 minutes (traffic permitting). The 5 leaves the airport every half-hour until 11.10, after which there are services at 12.10am and 1.10am. Bus tickets You should buy bus tickets before you get on the vehicle - tickets for all the airport bus services are available from ticket kiosks inside the terminal building. There are also ticket machines by the stops, although I wouldn't rely on them working. Stamp them in the machine provided when you board the bus.

Taxis and late arrivals It is also possible to take an ordinary taxi from the airport, but of course they can only take you as far as Piazzale Roma, after which you'll need to take a boat or continue your journey on foot through Venice. If your flight into Venice is delayed until after public transport has ceased for the night (around 1am) then your best option is to share a taxi with other passengers to Piazzale Roma. Expect to pay around ï¿½30. Within Venice a vaporetto (waterbus) service runs all night, although with reduced frequency and stops. Onward travel to other destinations A direct ATVO service, the 'Fly Bus', connects the airport with the railway station at Mestre , the mainland part of Venice - useful if you are staying on the mainland or heading off to another part of Italy. This is a major station on Italy's railway network, with trains heading to many useful destinations. A local ACTV bus, the number 15, makes the same journey, taking a few minutes longer.

If you are heading for Padua you can either travel to Mestre and onwards by train, or take the SITA bus service from the airport, departing every hour (every 30 minutes at peak times) and taking an hour and ten minutes. A seasonal bus service run by ATVO also heads up to the Alps. This runs from Venice to Cortina d'Ampezzo in the Dolomites - Venice Airport is not a scheduled stop but can be requested in advance. Seasonal ATVO services also link the airport with a variety of local seaside resorts such as Lido di Jesolo and Caorle . Airport shopping, food and facilities The airport is quite spacious and modern, with a range of shops and eating places. After security there is the usual range of duty-free shopping, with a good choice of shops for travellers looking for an expensive scarf, watch or similar gifts. There is even the chance to buy pricey Murano glassware without cramming it into your regulation hand-luggage. You can find a hot meal either airside or landside. Before security there is a self-service cafe-restaurant, and another can be found upstairs after you've passed through security.

Unfortunately these businesses don't keep such long hours as the airport, so if you have a morning or a late evening flight you might not find much open. The bar in the main departures area (after security) closes around 11pm, and serves hot, cold and alcoholic drinks as well as heated rolls and other light snacks. This is where you come if you have delayed-flight food vouchers. Upstairs there is a panoramic gallery with lagoon views; you'll find more shops upstairs, a bar selling snacks and pizza slices, and also the good, cheap self-service restaurant which serves pasta. General information I've found the airport to be fairly efficient - my one long delay here was due to fog in London, rather than any local problem. This is the most local airport for Venice, and it is more convenient than Treviso, though it has in the past been more prone to strikes by workers. I've also been suprised at the length of time it can take to travel to Venice by bus. Although the journey is usually 20 minutes, there is just one road between Venice and the airport so traffic problems can be critical; I spent an hour on the short journey one afternoon and wished I'd taken the boat instead (no traffic jams!).

The view of Venice from the plane Try to get a window seat on the right-hand side of the plane when you're flying to Venice (BA's online check-in is very helpful). Usually the route before landing loops northwards and comes in to land over the lagoon - you can see the bizarre water/landscape of the southern lagoon, then Venice itself from a low height, then the northern islands. The airport is on the shore of the lagoon, level with the islands of Burano (recognisable by its leaning belltower) and Torcello (it's easy to spot the imposing, isolated cathedral). Staring down from the windows of the plane makes a great introduction to Venice. You can really appreciate the city's unique geography, its watery surroundings and the surprising smallness of the city itself. Marco Polo Business Lounge The Marco Polo lounge is upstairs from the main departures area, after security. It's open to various types of traveller including holders of the Priority Pass. The lounge is furnished with comfortable armchairs, tables and computer stations. It's considerably smarter than the rest of the airport, with rugs on the wooden floor and great views over the lagoon towards Torcello.

There's a terrace outdoors for admiring the views and the aeroplanes. A selection of snacks and drinks are offered free, including croissants, cold pizza squares, small sandwiches, wine and soft drinks. There are newspapers to read. Wireless internet isn't free. You can see the same lagoon views, though less close-up, in the main departures area, which rarely gets hectic or overcrowded, so generally I wouldn't say that the lounge is a necessary expense, but it is a more comfortable way to start your journey.

Venice Traveller Article: Comments (15) There are a lot of building works going on between the airport and dock area - the original walk to the motor boat taxis is now changed and not very well signed and further distance. Easier by the mini-bus service but very expensive (approx. 20euros) Marco Polo airport All major airlines fly into Marco Polo Airport (airport code: VCE) - . The airport, located 7 kilometres north of the city on the margin of the Venetian lagoon, has a new passenger terminal. When you leave the Baggage Claim and Customs hall, turn right for the money-exchange window if you need to buy euro, or use the Bancomat (ATM), where you're likely to get a better exchange rate. The main reseller of public transport tickets, HelloVenezia, which also issues passes which have been pre-ordered through the VeneziaUnica website, has a clearly identified desk located in the arrivals hall, just past and slightly to the right of the arrivals waiting area as you exit from baggage claim, where ACTV travel and VeniceCard products, including the Rolling VeniceCard, can also be picked up, if prepaid, or purchased for immediate use.

Travel to the city and destinations on the mainland is available immediately outside the arrivals hall, on the ground level. Departing Note that check-in desks may be on either the ground or first floor - check which by looking for your flight on the boards at the entrance to the terminal. It is highly advisable to check-in on-line if possible. You will then be able to go to 'bag-drop only' and thus avoid the very long and disorganised queues waiting for check-in.. You can get to Venice from Marco Polo either by sea or by land. WATER ROUTE TO VENICE Water transfer into the historical center is a ten minute walk from the arrivals hall to the dock areas. Note that there is quite a walk - a little under 500 yards - (with baggage!) from the Arrivals Hall exit outside to your left through the airport grounds to the boat departure point. Yes they do provide, for most of the time, a long shelter covering but you occasionally end up crossing a road. At busy times there are porters who for a fee will load your baggage on a trolley and push it for you. It's certainly doable independently; just be prepared for the hike!

If you are disabled, or have heavy luggage you can take a taxi round the airport roads. Sadly the shuttle bus has been discontinued. The luggage trolleys are self-service and require a one euro coin deposit, which can be recouped upon leaving the trolley at the dock area. The ACTV water bus (vaporetto ferries) do not directly serve Marco Polo airport, but there are the following alternatives: Alilaguna ferry to Venice: if you need to go to Piazza San Marco (St. Mark's Square) or a limited number of other locations in historic Venice, including the northern areas of Cannaregio, the Cruise ship terminal, or the Lido, you can purchase a Venice airport ferry ticket at the Alilaguna booth in the Arrivals area - . Note that Alilaguna is a private company, so ACTV passes cannot be used on Alilaguna boats or vice versa. It is possible to purchase both one-way and return tickets on line in advance, discounted at , if at least one week in advance, at . There are also discounted prices for groups of twenty people or more.

Alilaguna has three ferry routes from Marco Polo - Linea Blu runs from marco Polo between 06.15 and 00.15 and the full run take 1 hour 34 minutes. It leaves Marco Polo for Murano (Colonna), Fondamenta Nove, Ospedale, Bacini, Lido, Arsenale (not all departures), San Zaccaria (not all departures), San Marco Giardini, Zitelle (Giudecca) (not all departures) Zattere (not all departures) ,Molino Stucky (not all departures) and finally Terminal Crociere(not all departures0 for the docks. You should always check the website to make sure the ferry you plan to board will actually call at the landing stage you wish to go to. In the reverse direction, when going to Marco Polo, the service starts at 08.50 from the cruise terminal but as early as 04.35 from the Molino Stucky and 03.50 from San Marco and 03.55 from San Zaccaria.

The earliest ferry to arrive at Marco Polo is at 05.09. Linea Arancio runs from Marco Polo between 08.00 and 23.45 and the full run takes between 1 hour 12 minutes and 1 hour 17 minutes. It leaves Marco Polo for Fondamenta Nove (only after 20.45), Madona dell'Orto, Guglie, and down the Grand Canal to San Stae, Rialto, San Angelo, Ca' Rezzonico and S. Maria del Giglio. In the reverse direction, when going to Marco Polo, the service starts at 05.48 from S. Maria del Giglio and arrives at Marco Polo at 07.00. Linea Rossa is a seasonal line, only running between April and October. It runs between 08.00 and 18.35 and the full run takes 1 hour and 16 minutes. It leaves Marco Polo for Murano (Museo), Lido and San Marco Alilaguna Fares. Fares are cheaper on line and even cheaper if bought with a Venice Unica card.

Full fares for single journeys are 8 euros to Murano, and 15 euros to all other landing stages. Alilaguna Baggage Passengers are permitted 1 suitcase and 1 piece of hand luggage. All further baggage will be charged at 3 euros per piece. AirportLink: This is a recently introduced service provided by Alilaguna. It is NOT a private water taxi. It is an exclusive shared boat service from Venice Marco Polo Airport to the major point of interests in Venice centre. It will not take you directly to a hotel but to selected landing stages. The price is €27 per person. This is a shared launch and not an exclusive water taxi so a minimum of 2 passengers are required and the launch may wait for as much as 40 minutes to fill up. Nevertheless you can enjoy a water transfer across the lagoon to near to your hotel. But the launch may well be making stops at other traveller's destinations as it is a shared service. It is faster than the normal Alilaguna ferry once you have finally departed at a little more than the Alilaguna public lines' price. You reach central Venice in just 30 minutes!

Airport Link service is not a private water taxi, so it usually stops nearby to the hotels, one by one, depending on the ultimate destinations of your fellow travellers. If you need to reach the private pier of your hotel without intermediate stops, do consider a transfer by private water taxi. Private Water Taxi to Venice: If you're loaded with luggage, or if you're traveling in a group, you may want to hire a private water taxi directly to your hotel or, if it does not have canal frontage, to the canal side closest to your hotel. These can be booked on arrival at the Consorzio Motoscafi Venezia or the Veneziataxi desks in the Arrivals Hall at Marco Polo. The hire charge includes up to 4 passengers and all their luggage. Extra passengers up to the limit of the water taxi (12 or 16) carry a very small surcharge - the official rate is €1.60. Official water taxi fares are posted on the Venice City Hall website (Italian page with multi language links) . If the private water taxi desks are closed you can walk to the landing stage and hire a private water taxi directly there. There are usually several waiting to be hired.

Beware: although all water taxis are metered, many drivers will pretend not to have a meter, and may ask extortionate prices. You should not have to pay more than €80 - 120 for the launch, depending on how far you are travelling. Note you should never be quoted a price per passenger. Be guided accordingly. If you wish to book a private water taxi in advance of your arrival at Marco Polo, or for any other journey around the Venetian canals or lagoon, you can do so on the websites - and Another option for airport transfers is , offering a Premium transfer including Meet & Greet service, luggage assistance and private transfer from Airport building to Water Taxi docks with a private minivan. There is also the VeniceLink service which offers fixed-price transfers by water taxi: €99* one-way to/from Venice; €185* return trip. Transfers are also offered to/from the cruise port. For an additional €45, a "meet-and-greet" package is available, providing assistance with luggage. For further information, see Venice Link.

Also for an additional €40, one can request a route "deviation" along the Grand Canal to enjoy the view on the way to the hotel. (*as of 1st July 2013) LAND ROUTE TO VENICE Taxis: Land taxis are available right outside Marco Polo airport, to the left as you exit. Buses: There are two very reasonably priced public bus options: ACTV local bus scheduled service No. 5 ( ), or ATVO direct coaches ( ). Both take you to Piazzale Roma in around 20 - 25 minutes, depending on traffic conditions. Piazzale Roma is the end of the road in historic Venice as the remainder of the city is pedestrianised. From there you cans still take a land taxi or the people carries into Stazione Marittima Piazzale roma is at the western end of the Grand Canal and has a landing stage for the ACTV water buses (vaporetti) which have several lines to take you around Venice, or over to the Lido or Murano.

(For buses to Mestre, see below under Land Route to the Mainland.) The ACTV n°5 bus runs every quarter hour most of the day, and takes 22-25 minutes to reach Piazzale Roma (or vice versa) with limited stops along the route. It is an easily accessible, low rise bus adapted to travel with baggage, including internal luggage racks and one low step to enter, almost at curb level. If purchased together with a Tourist travel card, the ticket costs an additional €4.00 one way, or €8.00 round trip/return; otherwise if purchased separately, it costs €6.00 one way or €11.00 round trip/return. It is also possible to purchase a one way Bus+Vaporetto ticket for the bus to Piazzale Roma and a one way vaporetto trip within a total of 90 minutes at a cost of €12.00. The ATVO coach is a typical "Greyhound" style coach, with ample luggage storage out of sight under the raised passenger seating area, which requires four relatively high, steep steps up to the passenger compartment.

It runs once every half hour most of the day, takes 20 minutes non-stop to Piazzale Roma, and is €6.00 one way or €11.00 round trip/return. LAND ROUTE TO THE MAINLAND (MESTRE, etc.) To reach Mestre and other destinations on the mainland, there are land taxis outside the airport directly on your left as you exit; and there are numerous ACTV and ATVO bus lines.

Extensive information on travel passes for use in and around Venice is available through other TripAdvisor articles . Treviso airport Note that many low-cost airlines (such as Ryanair) use the Treviso airport, about 30 km north of Venice - . There is a regular ATVO coach service linking this airport with Mestre and Venice (Piazzale Roma). - see for timetables. The journey from Treviso airport to Piazzale Roma takes around 40 minutes.

Tickets cost €10.00 or €18.00 for a return ticket. An ACTT bus - scheduled service No 6 - takes about 20 minutes to travel from Treviso airport to Treviso station and runs every half hour. Bus fare is €1.40. There is then good train service to Mestre and to Santa Lucia station In Venice. Train fare is €3.30. See for timetables. Another option between Treviso airport and Venice is the slightly quicker bus service which uses the highway and has fewer stops, run by Barzi . It charges €10.00 or €18.00 for a return ticket. It goes to and from Tronchetto in Venice, opposite the People Mover which links Tronchetto to the Piazzale Roma. The People Mover is like an airport train with three stops; P. Roma, the cruise ship terminal and Tronchetto. It takes about three minutes at a nominal cost. Leaving Venice for the Airports It is important to remember that on Sundays and holidays, and early mornings and late nights, much public transportation in and around Venice operates on different time schedules.

This is especially important when taking very early morning flights out of Marco Polo Venice Airport. The vaporetto (€7 per person single ride) to Piazzale Roma operates a slightly reduced night schedule from midnight to 5 a.m., but when you get to the bus terminal, the ACTV n°5 bus starts only at 4:40 a.m. Monday through Saturday, and on Sunday at 5:40 a.m.; the ATVO coach begins only at 5:00 a.m. (every day), so then you may be forced to take a taxi to the airport at an additional cost in order to arrive on time for your flight. Alternatively, you may just want to pay the €100-120 for an early morning water taxi to the airport and walk with your bags to the departures terminal from the dock. By Train Trains arrive in Venice at Venezia Santa Lucia station. Some also stop short at the Mestre station on the mainland but for a €1.25 euro ticket you can take one of the very frequent trains across the causeway over the lagoon into Santa Lucia station. See for timetables and the possibility to purchase advance tickets online.

Some people have reported difficulties in the past paying for online purchases with non-Italian credit cards, but in 2011 the situation seems to have improved greatly. The main advantage to prepurchasing tickets for you departure from Venice is the possibility for discounted fares (sometimes as much as 60% off) but with some restrictions on modifications or cancellations. Normally there is no problem with purchasing full price tickets the day of departure at the Venice train stations or at one of the travel agencies throughout Venice which display the FFSS Trenitalia logo. There is a staffed left luggage office in the main Santa Lucia station, to the left leaving the train platforms, along platform n°1. Immediately outside the station are the three separate "Ferrovia" ACTV landing stages where several different water bus lines call. These will carry visitors all round Venice, to Lido, and to the other islands of the Venetian lagoon. Tickets, including period passes valid for all ACTV water and urban land buses, can be bought at the ticket kiosks.

Private water taxis, which are expensive but have the advantage of taking visitors directly to their Hotel, or to the canalside nearest to the Hotel, are available from the private taxi jetty leaving the station to the left, just before the Scalzi Bridge. Water taxi drivers do not expect a tip in addition to the hiring charge. By Cruise Ship Almost all cruise liners dock in Stazione Marittima. Some cruise lines provide transport from there to Piazzale Roma, though very few nowadays, where water buses or private water taxis will carry visitors all over Venice, or land transport can carry them to the mainland. Otherwise land taxis can be hired to drive as far as Piazzale Roma, which is as far a wheeled traffic can go into Venice. If luggage is light then it is a walk of 500+ yards from Stazione Marittima to Piazzale Roma. There is also a People Mover monorail from Piazzale Roma to the dock gate and Tronchetto that can be useful if your ship is moored near the dock gates. Some cruise liners moor along the Banchina del Porta Commerciale in the Giudecca Canal just outside the Stazione Marittima docks.

This is often referred to as San Basilio and indeed is close to the San Basilio water bus landing stage. However if you do take a water bus to this landing stage you will have to walk across a small canal bridge and into the gates of Stazione Maritima. There are no land vehicles - coaches or taxis able to use this entrance as this part of Venice is pedestrianised. You will have to walk from the San Basilio landing stage and carry your own luggage for what may be a distance of several hundred metres. However you can still take a land taxi from Marco Polo or Piazzale Roma through the main entrance to Stazione Maritima and travel down to the moorings along the Giudecca Canal. This would avoid the need to carry luggage any great distance. The Alilaguna Lineablu (blue line) ferry runs between Stazione Marittima and and other stops including Zattere, San Marco Giardinetti and eventually arriving to Marco Polo airport (total travel time between the two terminals about 1h40m though). The timetable and fares should be checked in advance on as they do vary from time to time.

Venice Link offers a transfer to and from the cruise port to hotels in Venice for €60. For an additional €45 there is a "meet-and-greet" package that includes assistance with luggage. See Venice Link By Car Since Venice, with its unique topography, limits all automotive and rubber-wheeled vehicular traffic to a very small area of the city, arriving by car is often a serious problem. The main publicly accessible area with the bus terminals and parking garages is Piazzale Roma, though cars can arrive to the areas of Tronchetto, Santa Marta, and the Cruise Terminals (though these may sometimes require special passes). During high periods and special events, even reaching Piazzale Roma across the long Ponte della Libertà causeway can be a major headache. Parking fees for the garages around Piazzale Roma, when parking is available, can range from expensive to outrageous. There are a number of other alternatives for parking in outlying areas at greatly reduced costs and using public transportation to reach the center.
