After you've explored the Lido, head for the Actv station at the
lagoon end of the Grand Viale shopping street. Take one of the following boats:
-
The wheelchair- and stroller-accessible No. 1 vaporetto
is the most popular way to reach the historic center of Venice; it calls at more than a dozen stops between the tip of S. Elena and the Piazzale Roma
on the Grand Canal. Allow 15 minutes to S. Zaccaria (near the
Piazza San Marco), 39 minutes to
Rialto, 53 minutes to Ferrovia (the
railway station), and 56 minutes
to the Piazzale Roma.
-
The 51 and 52 circular routes offer quicker
service to the railroad station and the Piazzale Roma. Allow 44 minutes to
the railroad station and 48 minutes to the P. Roma on the 51;
the 52 is slightly faster at 34 and 38 minutes.
-
The 62 is an express boat that runs only on weekdays.
It reaches the Piazzale Roma in 33 minutes and does not stop at San
Marco or the railroad station.
-
The LN is a big double-decker boat that runs directly
from the Lido Motonave pier to Venezia Pietà,
one of the piers at S. Zaccaria by the Piazza San Marco. Travel time is 14
minutes.
