Alilaguna and Water Taxis

at Venice Marco Polo Airport

Step-by-step directions to the boat piers

It's easy to take an Alilaguna water bus or a water taxi from Marco Polo Airport to Venice. The tricky part is finding your way to the boat pier, which is some distance from the terminal on the edge of the Venetian Lagoon.

In the following pages, you'll see photos and captions that show exactly how to reach the water-taxi and Alilaguna piers. (Note: If you're taking the Alilaguna airport boat, you can buy your ticket at a booth by the pier; if you're hiring a water taxi, you'll pay the boat driver.) The last page describes returning to the airport from Venice by boat.
