Arriving
In our "Arriving
in Venice" article, we tell you how to reach the city center from the Venice
Marco Polo and Treviso airports, from the Mestre and Santa Lucia railroad
stations, from the cruise and ferry terminals, or by car.
If you're driving, you'll also want to see "Parking
in Venice," which has advice (with Web links) about where to park in
Venice or on the mainland.
Also see our Venice
for Cruisers
section if you're arriving or departing on a cruise ship.
Getting around the city
Our Transportation Index
lists articles about water buses (vaporetti),
water taxis, pedestrian and car ferries, tourist travel cards, and related
topics.
Most of the time, you won't need to use water buses or other
boats unless you have limited mobility or you're traveling to an island such as
Murano, Burano, or Torcello. Simply put on your shoes and read "Walking
in Venice," which has advice on maps, directional signs, street signs, and addresses.
