Step 1: Before you touch the vending machine's interactive screen, decide what kind of ticket you need. Your options are shown in a table on the machine:

 Types of ACTV tickets

Unless you've bought the iMob CartaVenezia stored-value photo card (which is used mostly by commuters and long-term visitors), you'll be interested in the tickets identified by white or paper-ticket icons. These options include:

  • Single-fare ticket. This ticket is good for 60 minutes in one direction, with a change of boats if necessary. (You're allowed to carry one suitcase of reasonable size, plus a small backpack or tote.)

  • Tourist travel cards for unlimited rides over a period of 12 hours to 7 days, depending on which version you choose. (See our Venice Tourist Travel Cards article).

  • ACTV city bus ticket to the airport. (See our Venice Aiport Buses article, which suggests a better option).

Note: These tickets are valid only for ACTV transportation. (You can't use them on the Alilaguna airport boat.)

For more information on travel by ACTV public water bus, see our articles on  Vaporetto Routes and Vaporetto Fares.
