Venice Airport Transportation

photo

ABOVE: The Alilaguna airport boat offers frequent service between Venice's Marco Polo International Airport and the city.

Venice, Italy has become a major airline gateway to Italy, thanks to budget carriers such as Ryanair and nonstop transatlantic flights by Delta and US Airways. If you're arriving by air, you have several options for getting into the city. Click the links under each airport's name below for information on Venice airport ground transportation.

Please note:

  • Most major carriers use Marco Polo International Airport, which is located in Tessera, just 6 km (4 miles) from the historic center.

  • Ryanair and Transavia use the much smaller Treviso Airport, which is 30 km or 19 miles from Venice.

  • If you have an early flight, see my Venice Airport Hotels article for listings of hotels that are convenient to airport ground transportation.

  • For information on vaporetti, traghetti, and other local transport, see our index of Venice transportation articles.

  • If you prefer taxis to public transportation, you can easily grab a land taxi (not too expensive) or a water taxi (€80-100) at Marco Polo Airport. It isn't practical to take a taxi from Treviso Airport because of the distance and cost.
