Arriving in Venice

ABOVE: A water taxi passes the Piazzetta and the Doge's Palace. INSET BELOW: An Alilaguna boat approaches the Zattere stop on its way to the airport.

Venice's historic center is 3 km or 2 miles off the coast of Northern Italy. The city is built on more than 100 islands in the Venetian Lagoon, and it's linked to the mainland by a rail and road causeway named the Ponte della Libertá ("Bridge of Liberty"). You'll cross this bridge if you arrive by train, bus, car, or land taxi; another option is to come from the airport or a mainland parking lot by public water bus or water taxi.
