Chioggia Tourist InformationFrom: Chioggia, Italy
ABOVE: An Actv vaporetto departs for Venice. How to reach Chioggia from Venice
Boats run about once an hour, depending on season and day of the week, and travel time is approximately 1 hour 15 minutes. Alternatively, you can take the No. 19 Linea Clodia boat from Venice San Marco to Chioggia in the morning and return in the evening. The last time we checked, the service ran from early June until late September, with a travel time of 1 hour 40 minutes. For details, check a current ACTV summer timetable or phone the Hellovenezia call center at (+39) 041 2424. (Note: This line is operated by an independent company, not the ACTV, so you'll need to pay a fare even if you have an ACTV Tourist Travel Card or Venice Connected pass.) By bus and ferry from the Lido. Actv bus line 11 runs from the Lido to Chioggia along the narrow strip of land and seawall that separates the Venetian Lagoon from the Adriatic Sea. The bus goes onto a car ferry at one point, and the last leg of the journey is by passenger ferry. Travel time is 1 hour 15 minutes, and buses depart Lido S.M.E. about every 30 minutes.
By bus from the Piazzale Roma. Actv bus 80E runs to Chioggia and Sottomarina via the mainland at roughly 30-minute intervals; travel time is 1 hour 20 minutes. By car. From Venice's Piazzale Roma, the parking and car-ferry island of Tronchetto, or Venezia Mestre on the mainland, you can reach Chioggia via the E56 road that heads south from Venice's mainland industrial suburb of Marghera. (Consult a good road map for details.) The distance from Venice is about 44 km. By car from the Lido. Although a road heads south toward Chioggia on the Lido, it doesn't go all the way. If you drive this road, you'll need to park in Pellestrina and take the vaporetto for the last leg of your journey. From Venice Airport. Between early July and early September, four buses a day (two in each direction) connect Venice's Marco Polo Airport with the resort hotels in Sottomarina.
