The Venice Hostel is near the Zitelle vaporetto stop on the island of Giudecca, which is served by the 2 (formerly the 82), 41, and 42 waterbuses. Exit the landing platform, turn right, and walk to the hostel, which is a couple of minutes away on foot.

Here's the easiest way to reach Zitelle by vaporetto from the railroad station (Ferrovia) and the bus terminal (Piazzale Roma):

Catch the No. 2 vaporetto in the direction of Tronchetto. This means the boat coming from your left at the railway station or coming from your right at Piazzale Roma.
Stay on until you reach Zittele, which is one stop beyond Redentore. (Don't confuse it with Zattere, on the other side of the canal!)

The boat trip will take 15 or 20 minutes. The fare is an outrageous �6,50. (See our Venice vaporetto fares article.) You can get a discount if you've purchased an inexpensive "Rolling Venice" youth card at any Venice tourist office branch or Hellovenezia ticket counter.

A 12- to 72-day ACTV Tourist Travel Card (available at any Hellovenezia office or vaporetto ticket booth) is a great value if you plan to use public transportation extensively. The tourist office's Venice Connected pass may be worth considering if you need its services and can figure out the complicated pricing scheme.

Note: You'll see a fare listed for baggage at the vaporetto ticket booth. This doesn't apply if you're carrying up to two normal-size suitcases or backpacks, but you can double-check with the ticket agent if you're hauling a steamer trunk or feeling insecure.
