How to Get From Venice Marco Polo Airport to Venice Center

If you are flying into Venice Marco Polo Airport, the process of reaching Venice center from here may seem daunting. Here is our handy guide that offers tips on which option is the most effective!

1. Take the Bus

To travel from Venice Marco Polo Airport to the city center as economically as possible, taking a bus is your simplest option. Buses leave from outside the airport and stop at Piazzale Roma which serves as Venice's central transport hub where trams, buses, and water buses converge - and from here you can either walk directly to your accommodation or hop onto a vaporetto (Venice's public transportation water bus).

2. Vaporetto from Marco Polo Airport to Venice

A vaporetto ride is by far the easiest and cheapest way to travel between Marco Polo Airport and your accommodation in Venice from its airport terminals, taking only 30 minutes on average and stopping at various points around Venice en route to your accommodation - plus you can even catch another boat back from there back to Marco Polo!

3. Take an Alilaguna Vaporetto

If you don't have enough luggage for a private taxi service but still prefer comfortable transport from Venice Airport to the city itself, Alilaguna vaporetto could be an economical and efficient way to travel between them both. Tickets start from just 15 Euro each way! Plus it runs frequently and ticket desks or machines can provide tickets easily at each airport location.

4. Take the Train

Traveling from Venice to Marco Polo airport via train is relatively straightforward, although not particularly practical. First you must catch a bus from the airport to Mestre train station before hopping onto another train that goes all the way into Venice Santa Lucia station. Although I wouldn't suggest this route as my go-to method for transportation from Mestre rather than Venice itself, this option might prove convenient if your accommodation lies further afield than expected.

5. Take a Taxi

A taxi ride from Venice to Marco Polo is undoubtedly the easiest and most comfortable way to arrive in the city center; however, it may not fit within your budget! A private taxi will cost at least EUR105; group travel may get better rates! Booking early will ensure a comfortable journey - be sure to plan!

6. Reserve a Private Transfer

To experience Venice Marco Polo Airport as luxuriously as possible, book a private transfer service. A driver will meet you in the airport arrivals area with a name sign to assist with luggage before accompanying you directly to a premium car.
