Reaching the city by public transportation

The No. 2 vaporetto (which will replace the old No. 82 boat on January 21, 2008) connects the island of Tronchetto with other parts of Venice. It runs year-round in two directions:

• No. 2 Piazzale Roma - Ferrovia - San Marco. This boat heads toward the train station, then goes up the Grand Canal to the Piazza San Marco with stops at the Rialto Bridge and a few other points along the way.

• No. 2 San Basilio - Zattere - Giudecca - San Zaccaria. This route takes you up the Giudecca Canal, ending at San Zaccaria (a quick stroll from the Piazza San Marco). In high season, the boat continues on to the Lido.

To buy vaporetto tickets, follow the "Actv" signs to the brick building on the waterfront; go through the opening to the pier, where you'll find a ticket office. (If the ticket office is closed, try the Tabacchi or newsstand/cigarette shop next to the toilets and bar.)

For more information about public transportation in Venice, see my articles on vaporetto routes and vaporetto fares.

Water taxis

If you prefer a water taxi, use only the licensed water taxis at the pier next to the Actv stop, and be prepared to pay handsomely for the convenience. (See my Venice water taxis article for more information.)
