Arriving in Venice by AirFrom: Arriving in Venice
ABOVE: Look to the left, beyond Marco Polo Airport's control tower, and you'll see Venice's historic center across the Venetian Lagoon. From Venice Marco Polo Airport
When you've claimed your baggage and obtained a free luggage cart, go to the money-exchange window and buy euros. Better yet, use the Bancomat (ATM), where you're likely to get a better exchange rate. (But read our Europe for Visitors article on ATM conversion fees before you leave home.)
Alternatively, you can ride an ATVO or ACTV airport bus to reach the Piazzale Roma. Buses are cheaper than the Alilaguna boat, and the Piazzale Roma may be more convenient to your hotel. (Check your hotel's map ahead of time.)
It's also possible to book private transfers that include someone to meet you in the arrivals terminal, porterage service, and a van or car to the water-taxi pier. For details on these and other prebooked transfer services from our advertising partner, Viator, click here and go to page 3 of the listings. Finally, if you're staying on the mainland in Mestre, you can take a Mestre airport bus from VCE to the Mestre railroad station.

Important tip: If you're departing from Venice's Marco Polo Airport at the crack of dawn, read our article about Early Flights from Venice Airport. From Treviso Airport
