Information about Venice

Travel. Venice is conveniently served by Venice Marco Polo Airport, located on the mainland approximately 13 kilometers (8 miles) north of Venice. For additional travel options, the nearest alternative airport is Treviso’s Antonio Canova Airport. From either airport, you can easily reach Venice by bus, water shuttle, or train; see the arriving-by-plane Venezia Unica webpage for detailed information. On top of that, the main train station, Venezia Santa Lucia, is well connected, with regular regional and high-speed trains from throughout Italy.

Getting Around in Venice. For getting around Venice, the public waterbus service (vaporetti) is the most convenient option. You can check real-time schedules, routes, and stop information using the website and app CheBateo. It’s a helpful tool to plan your trips across the old city and nearby islands efficiently.

Tourism. For information on attractions, historical sites, guided tours, and events, you can visit the official tourism website of Venice: Venezia Unica.
