ABOVE: You can't miss the ACTV ticket booth and vaporetto platforms: They're on the water, facing the Venice Cruise Terminal.
Reaching the city by water bus
The No. 2 vaporetto, or public water bus, connects the island of Tronchetto with other parts of Venice. It runs year-round in two directions:
- No. 2 Piazzale Roma - Ferrovia - San Marco. This boat heads toward the train station, then goes up the Grand Canal to the Piazza San Marco with stops at the Rialto Bridge and a few other points along the way.
- No. 2 San Basilio - Zattere - Giudecca - San Zaccaria . This route takes you up the Giudecca Canal, ending at San Zaccaria (just above the Piazza San Marco). In high season, the boat continues on to the Lido.
To
buy vaporetto tickets, follow the "ACTV" signs to the brick building on the
waterfront; go through the opening to the pier, where you'll find a ticket
office. (If the ticket office is closed, try the Tabacchi or newsstand/cigarette
shop next to the toilets and bar.)
Another option is to take the Alilaguna express boat between Tronchetto and San Marco Giardinetti, near the Piazza San Marco, with intermediate stops at the Hotel Molino Stucky on Giudecca and the Zattere in Dorsoduro. (See the Alilaguna link on page 3 of this article.)
For more information about public transportation in Venice, see our articles on vaporetto routes and vaporetto fares.
People Mover
An
automated airport-style "People Mover" between Tronchetto and the Piazzale Roma
opened in spring, 2010. It's quick, and it's much cheaper than the water
buses. See our Venice People
Mover article for how-to information, photos, and videos.
Water taxis
If
you prefer a water taxi, use only the licensed water taxis at the pier next to
the Actv stop, and be prepared to pay handsomely for the convenience. (See our
Venice water taxis article for more information.)
