Celestia

From: Venice Waterbus Stops

Celestia faces the Venetian Lagoon on the northern edge of Venice's historic center. (It's one stop east of Ospedale, the station for the city's public hospital.)

Celestia vaporetto stop

The single-platform ACTV station is in a quiet area of Castello near the very pleasant San Francesco della Vigna Church, which is worth a visit if you're in the neighborhood.

The Celestia stop is served by:

ACTV 4.1, 4.2, 5.1, 5.2 public water buses

We don't know of any hotels in the immediate neighborhood, but a modern one-bedroom vacation apartment, the Sagredo Suite, is close to the Celestia boat stop.

Note: This station does not have a ticket booth or vending machine, so here's what to do if you need to board a water bus without a valid ACTV ticket or Tourist Travel Card.
